M:Have you finished eating yet.
F:Not, I haven’t.Why are you in such a hurry.
M:I’m sorry, but you are such a slow eater.
F:A low eater? Well I try to enjoy my food. You just eat and swallow. I don’t see how you can even taste it.
M:Ok, I’m sorry. Do you mind if I get another glass of vine.
F:No, go ahead. I don’t want you to sit there putting pressure on me. I thought we were going to have a relaxing evening.
M:Yes, you are right. I’d like to relax, but I had a lot on my mind.
F:What created?
M:Yes. it is. I’ve been getting some strange emails from my boss. He wants me to cut down on my expenses. Maybe he wants to fire me.
F:Is business bad?
M:Yes, it is. But I don’t want to talk about it.
F:Ok, but I’m a good listener. You can tell me if you’d like to.
M:Thanks, maybe some other time. I’ll try to start thinking about it and deal with it tomorrow.
F:Good idea. You need to take a break from work. Your health is important and so am I.
M:Yes, you are. I don’t know what would I do without you.
