A: | Hi, Sally! Guess who I saw at the bus stop today? |
B: | Who? |
A: | No, you have to guess. |
B: | Oh, I don't know ... George Bush? |
A: | No, no, someone you know ... or someone you used to know. |
B: | Not Andy? |
A: | Yes! |
B: | Wow! And how was he? Did you talk to him? |
A: | Yeah – not for long though, 'cause the bus came. |
B: | So tell me what happened. |
A: | Well, I was just walking past the bus stop and I noticed this guy standing there, and he looked familiar, so I looked again and.... |
B: | And did he recognise you? |
A: | Yes, after I said hello. Anyway, he's fine, doing well. He's living in Bondi now, and working in the city. |
B: | How did he look? |
A: | Well, he's shaved off his beard, which made him look pretty different, as you can imagine. |
B: | Yeah, he must look really nice without it. |
A: | Yes, he does. And he was on his way to work, like I said – pretty different from his student days, carrying a briefcase and looking very professional. |
B: | A briefcase – hah! Remember that old rucksack he used to carry? It was so old it was falling apart, but he wouldn't give it up. |
A: | Well, he has now! And not only that, but – you won't believe this – he was wearing a suit! |
B: | No! |
A: | Yes, and it looked good, too. So, he's not the Andy we used to know any more – he's changed so much. But he was very friendly and anyway, he gave me his phone number and said that we should get in touch. |
B: | Did he ask about me? |
A: | Well, not exactly, he just said, "How's everyone from the old days?" |
