　　Dialogue 1
　　John likes Jenny， but hes 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. Im just asking.
　　Jack： Just asking？ But why is your face burning like mad？ Ah-huh， someone has a crush on Jenny， doesnt he？
　　John： Who has a crush？！
　　Jack： Come on， John， dont be such a chicken. If you like her， youve got to tell her. Maybe she likes you.
　　John： But I dont have the guts to ask her out.
　　Jack： Whatre you so afraid of？
　　John： Id totally die if she turned me down.

　　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？

　　Jenny： Well， hes mature， handsome， gentle， and successful. I think hes my Mr. Right！
　　Katie： Hes certainly mature， but dont you think hes a little old for you？ Hes almost twice as old as you are！
　　Jenny： Well， age shouldnt be something that comes in the way of a persons marriage. As long as we love each other， age is not an issue. It never has been！

　　Tom： Maybe youre right.
　　Jack： John， I dont know what to say to comfort you， but cheer up！ Theres plenty of fish out there and youll find your perfect match！
