Michael: Hi. Sam.
Sam: Michael. Good to meet you!
Michael: Did you just arrive here?
Sam: Yeah, We arrived last week.
Michael: How do you like it?
Sam: It’s exciting! It’s much busier than the last city we lived in. I was working in Seattle for the last 3 years.
Michael: It really is very busy. I moved here from Tokyo 5 years ago and I still have trouble sometimes. Did you move here with your wife?
Sam: Actually, I’m not married. I moved here with my dog, Charles. We are very close.
Michael: Oh. I see.
Sam: What about you?
Michael: Yes, I am married and I have two children.
Sam: How old are they?
Michael: 6 and 8 years old
Sam: Oh, great. That age is a lot of fun.
Michael: But it is exhausting.
Sam: I understand. My brother has kids the same age. Every time they visit they fall asleep on the sofa.
Michael: Must be nice. We don’t have time for sleep; we have to drink a lot of coffee.
(Laughter)
