I've been working at the 蜜芽传媒 for a long time now. I've met lots of people. And I sometimes bump into them… and make small talk. They call it small talk, but that doesn't mean it's of little importance.

Hello Debbie

Debbie
Hiya.

Neil
I didn't think you were here today.

Debbie
Yep. Just the trains… loads of delays.

Neil
Terrible, aren't they? Really awful. Next election, I tell you, I'm going to vote this lot out.

Debbie
Yeah, yeah things could be better. It's not great.

Neil
So, who do you vote for normally?

Kee
Sure, sure.

Sam
You wouldn't talk about who you voted for.

Kee
And also, they're in the canteen.

Sam
Yeah

Kee
'What did you buy?'

Kee/Sam
'What have you got for breakfast?' A lot of clues in there – things that you could talk about. Absolutely.

Sam
He had something in his hand.

Kee
Yeah he had like a…

Sam
She was clearly on her way to get something.

Kee
Sure, yeah. And I think as soon as he asked that question, she was looking for an excuse to get away from him. So the signs were there, like you say.

Sam
Written all over her face.

Thanks for the tips, guys. I'll try harder next time.
