Summary: Slow dialogue: 1:34 Explanations: 3:30 Fast dialogue: 18:19 After a long tiring day at work, I stopped at a restaurant nearby for a quick meal. Server: Hi, I’m Ursula. Can I get you something to drink? Paulo: Yes, I’d like an iced tea and I’m also ready to order. I’ll just have a bowl of soup and a salad. Server: Sure, no problem. What kind of soup would you like? We have chicken noodle, minestrone, and cream of mushroom. Paulo: Do you have something that’s hearty? Server: If you want something hearty, I would suggest our clam chowder or beef stew. Paulo: I’ll take a bowl of beef stew. Server: Great! What kind of salad would you like: a chef salad, Caesar salad, or Cobb salad? Paulo: I’ll just have a garden salad. Server: Okay, what kind of dressing would you like? Paulo: What kind do you have? Server: We have French, Italian, ranch, Thousand Island, and vinaigrette. Paulo: Do you have blue cheese? Server: Oh yes, I forget to mention blue cheese. Okay, that’s a bowl of beef stew and a garden salad with blue cheese dressing. Will that be all? Paulo: Yes, that’s all. ... By the time I had finished placing my order, I was even more tired. Do you sometimes feel that life gives you too many choices? Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
