A conversation at the ballet
A conversation overheard at the cinema during interval watching a live broadcast of the Royal Ballet between two well spoken ladies in the row behind me. Lady A: ... afterwards I'll get a taxi up the road as I didn't bring my car here. Lady B: Do you live far away? A: Oh not far, just in Hampton Road. B: Oh well I can give you a lift, I'm going that way. A: Well that's very kind of you. Most kind. Can I give you something for petrol money? B: Oh no that's not necessary. A: Well thank you again. My name's Karen. B: Mine is Susan. [pause] A: I'm going to New York next week, I hope to see the New York City Ballet. B: Oh that would be good. [pause] A: Yes it will be all Star Wars and shopping. [pause] A: I'm a Jedi you see. B: Oh? A: Yes, I go to all the Jedi knight conventions. B: Ah. [Conversation ended by thunderous advertisement for Royal Ballet DVDs]
