- Oh, no, it's raining.

- You look quite disappointed, is it your first time in Paris?

- Absolute first time. But I'm learning French from this booklet, see? Mademoiselle...

- I would have thought a conductor travels here often.

- Actually, it is my first week on this job, I used to work in Andalucia but asked to be changed to the European lines. It is very exciting. What do you do?

- I am a journalist. (Pause) But a very bad one.

- Why do you say that?

- Well, you looked too impressed.

- It's a dream job!

- Not really, all I get to do is sit in front of a computer and translate agency news all day.

- Sorry, I'm blocking the corridor and keeping you here with my chat, are you going anywhere?

- Don't worry, I just went to the telephone and am back.

- The breakfast is really nice this morning, there even is fresh orange juice. Why do you laugh?

- I don't know, you're smiling all the time. I suppose I don't see that many smiles. Nice talking to you, but I have to go, my mother is waiting.
