Small Talk: At the bus stop.

PAGE 1 Woman: We could ask for a better day, could we? Man: I know. There isn't a cloud in the sky. I love this time of year. Woman: Me too. The cherry blossoms are beautiful, you think? Man: They sure are. But I heard he is calling for rain all weekend. Woman: Really? Oh well. I have to work all weekend anyway. I'm a doctor. Man: Wow. I'm sure you make good money with that diamond watch you have on. Woman: Ah, this bus seems to be running late. How long of a wait is it already? Man: I've been here for at least fifteen minutes now. Woman: Where are you heading today? Man: Actually, I'm going to the City Hall to cast my vote for mayor.

PAGE 2 Woman: Oh, what a coincidence. So am I! Who are you voting for? Man: Um, well...I'm still thinking about it. Woman: Here comes a bus now. Man: Oh good. Wait, that's not the bus we want. That bus goes downtown. Woman: Well, it looks like we'll be waiting a little longer. I guess I'll use this time to catch up on my reading. Man: I love reading. Right now I'm reading a Stephen King book. Do you like Stephen King? Woman: Not really. Man: Oh, here's our bus. Woman: Oh great. I thought it would never come. Well, have a nice day. Man: Say, did you catch the news today?
