Dialogue 1
John likes Jenny, but he''s afraid to ask her out. His friend Jack is trying to encourage him.
John: Hey, Jack, is Jenny coming with us?
Jack: Yes. Why?
John: Nothing. I''m just asking.
Jack: Just asking? But why is your face burning like mad? Ah-huh, someone has a crush on Jenny, doesn''t he?
John: Who has a crush?!
Jack: Come on, John, don''t be such a chicken. If you like her, you''ve got to tell her. Maybe she likes you.
John: But I don''t have the guts to ask her out.
Jack: What''re you so afraid of?
John: I''d totally die if she turned me down.
Jack: But that''s better than keeping everything to yourself. You''ve got to let her know. Come on! You''ve got to take a chance!
John: I don''t know....Well, maybe, you''re right, but how am I going to tell her?
Dialogue 2
John has a new girlfriend. His friend Jack is envious....
John: Hi, Jack, long time, no see!
Jack: Yeah! How''s everything going?
John: Not bad! At least I''m still alive.
Jack: Just alive? I heard you''re going out with Jane.
John: Where did you get that idea?
Jack: Oh, come on. Jane is a very nice girl, someone you meet only once in a lifetime.
John: Yeah, you''re right. I''m not boasting, but she''s really as beautiful as she is intelligent.
Jack: Well, I really envy you for finding such a girl.
Dialogue 3
Jane''s friend Michelle tells Jane that she''s lucky to have Jack as her boyfriend because....
Michelle: I heard you''re going out with Jack.
Jane: Yes. To be frank, I really love him to death.
Michelle: You''re so lucky!
Jane: Why do you say that?
Michelle: Why? Are you kidding me? A boy like him is so hard to find. So caring, so patient, and, did I mention, so handsome?
Jane: It''s very nice of you to say so.
Michelle: Well, it''s not a compliment. I''m saying it from the bottom of my heart! It''s obvious that he''s head over heels in love with you.
Jane: I sure hope so.
Dialogue 4
Jenny''s boyfriend is a very nice person, but her friend Katie is concerned about his age....
Katie: Jenny, I know you like John a lot, but what do you like about him?
Jenny: Well, there''s just something about him. Don''t you think so?
Katie: Really? What''s this something?
Jenny: Well, he''s mature, handsome, gentle, and successful. I think he''s my Mr. Right!
Katie: He''s certainly mature, but don''t you think he''s a little old for you? He''s almost twice as old as you are!
Jenny: Well, age shouldn''t be something that comes in the way of a person''s marriage. As long as we love each other, age is not an issue. It never has been!
Katie: But what will others think about it?
Jenny: I don''t care what others will think about us. I just know I love him and he loves me. And that''s all that matters.
Dialogue 5
Tom wants to settle down and start a family, but his girlfriend Monica is not ready yet. Therefore, they have to break up....
Jack: Hi, Tom, how have you been?
Tom: Not very well.
Jack: Why? What happened? You look so down!
Tom: Nothing.
Jack: Come on. For a man who''s so down, there''re usually two reasons. Either his career is going downhill, or he has a broken heart. You''re so successful, so....
Tom: Well, you''re right. I just broke up with Monica.
Jack: Oh, I''m sorry. I thought you two were made for each other.
Tom: Well, you never know. I''m ready for a commitment and want to settle down, but she says she wants to pursue her career while she''s still young.
Jack: Well, it''s always difficult to choose between career and family.
Tom: Maybe you''re right.
Jack: John, I don''t know what to say to comfort you, but cheer up! There''s plenty of fish out there and you''ll find your perfect match!
Tom: Yeah, but it''s hard to forget her at the moment. You know, we were together for almost five years. It''s really hard....

ke: No. She''s really a very nice girl....
John: Yeah, she''s pretty and caring.
Mike: Well, she''s really caring, but sometimes it''s too much...and uh...I kind of want a break, you know...some room for myself.
John: Did you talk with her about it?
Mike: I''ve tried, but...it didn''t work.
John: Oh, I''m really sorry to hear that. When are you going to tell her?
Mike: Maybe tonight, I don''t know. I don''t know how to tell her.
