A: Hey, there' s Leo. I wonder why he' s walking arm in arm with that young woman. |
| [00:34.914] |
B: It' s as plain as the nose on your face. They' re dating each other. |
| [00:39.382] |
A: You' re pulling my leg! She must be thirty years younger than Leo. Talk about robbing the cradle! |
| [00:45.142] |
B: Well, you can bet this relationship' s going to be a flash in the pan. |
| [00:50.916] |
A: It must have been love at first sight because I know he didn' t have a girlfriend last week. |
| [00:55.749] |
B: I think you are absolutely right. Actually, my father proposed to my mother after knowing her only two weeks. They got married a month later. |

| [01:11.434] |
A: You must be pretty excited about your trip to Europe. When is it that you are leaving? |
| [01:14.973] |
B: In just three weeks, and I am excited. But there are still a few things I need to do before I go. |
| [01:21.944] |
A: Like what? |
| [01:23.8] |
B: Like renewing my passport, going to the travel agency to buy my plane ticket and figuring out what to do with my apartment while I' m gone. |
| [01:31.441] |
A: You are not going to give it up, are you? |
| [01:33.676] |
B: No way. I' ll never find another apartment around here. But I don' t like the idea of paying three months' rent on an empty apartment, either. |
| [01:40.933] |
A: I don' t blame you. Perhaps you could sublet it. |
| [01:44.594] |
B: Yes, but whom to? |
| [01:46.559] |
A: Mmm let me think. Oh, I know just a person. An old colleague of mine, Jim Thomas, is coming here to do some research this summer, from June to August. |
| [01:57.608] |
B: That' s exactly when I' ll be away. It sounds ideal, as long as the landlord agrees. |
| [02:02.171] |
A: Tell you what, I' ll be calling Jim late this week anyway, so I' ll mention it to him then. |
| [02:08.45] |
B: Well, thanks, Bill. Let me know what happens. That extra money will really come in handy. |

| [02:17.725] |
A: Ben, what are you doing? |
| [02:19.461] |
B: Well, I would say that I' m just driftinghere, in the pool. |
| [02:23.100] |
A: Why? |
| [02:23.730] |
B: Well, it' s very comfortable just to drift here. |
| [02:26.88] |
A: Have you thought about graduate school? |
| [02:27.884] |
B: No. |
| [02:28.540] |
A: Would you mind telling me then what were those four years of college for? What was the point of all that hard work? |
| [02:34.880] |
B: You got me. |
| [02:37.672] |
A: Now listen, Ben. Look, I think it' s a very good thing that a young man after he' s done some very good work should have a chance to relax and enjoy himself, and lie around, and drink beer and so on. But after a few weeks I believe that person would want to take some stock in himself and his situation and start to think about getting off his ass. |
