Scene 1
Todd: So, Gloria , have you ever had any pets?
Gloria: Yes, I have. In fact, I still have one in America right now.
Todd: You do?
Gloria: Mm-hm
Todd: Yeah, what?
Gloria: He&`&s a dog named Cruiser.
。
Todd: Cruiser.
Gloria: Cruiser.
Todd: OK, what&`&s Cruiser like?
Gloria: Cruiser has blond hair like me, but he has dark brown eyes, and he still thinks he&`&s a puppy but he&`&s 11 years old and he, I think, is absolutely the best dog in the world.
Todd: Wow, what kind of dog is he?
Gloria: He is a Griffon. We got him at the humane society, so he had a little note with him saying he&`&s a Griffon, which I really don&`&t know a lot about. It&`&s like a miniature wolf hound.
Scene 2
Todd: James, I saw on your desk you have a nice picture of a dog.
James: Yes.
Todd: OK. Tell us about your dog.
James: My dog&`&s name is Piper. He was a mutt, a homeless dog that we picked up off the street about four and a half years ago.
Todd: Oh, wow! So what kind of dog is he now?
James: He&`&s a yellow lab, golden retriever mix. He&`&s very very sweet, very very fun to play with,really really nice.
Todd: Oh, that&`&s great. Can he do any tricks?
James: No. We can do one trick where we point our finger at him and go Bang Bang Bang Bang and he falls over dead, but that is the only trick he can do and he only does that maybe half thetime.
Todd: OK. Does he bark a lot?
James: Usually no. Usually he&`&s pretty good.
Todd: Pretty quiet. OK. Is it a male dog or a female dog?
James: Yeah. It&`&s a male dog.
Todd: So, no puppies.
James: No, puppies.
Todd: OK. Would you like to have another dog, another puppy?
James: It would be fun in the future but not for awhile.
