Lucas: (Oh no, there's that flashy girl. I'd better get out of here
before she notices me!)
Gion: Hey, taxi driver! How are you? Have you eaten? I'm so hungry.
Lucas: Uhm, excuse me, have we met before? Maybe you've mistaken me for
someone else.
Gion: Are you telling me that you don't remember me? What a terrible
thing to say! Give me back my tip! NOW!

Lucas: No way. You don't know who you are dealing with. My boss is a
gangster!!

attacking me in the movie theater!
Gion: What a loser! <leaves>
Class 4
(B):
Lucas: Oh what a coincidence! That was a nice movie, wasn't it?
Gion: You think so? I thought it sucked. The actress was cuter than me.
I don't like people that are cuter than me.
Lucas: …. By the way, I'm really hungry. Do you wanna go out and
get something to eat?
Gion: OK, but I only eat French food. Do you know a good French
restaurant?
(A):
Lucas: French food sucks. I like Chinese food. Just forget it.
Gion: Uhm. Well. How about seeing another movie
Lucas: Uhm, I don't think so. I'm too hungry.
Gion: Don't worry. We can get some caramel popcorn or something when we
see the movie.
Lucas. Hey, great idea! I love caramel popcorn! Which movie should we
see?
