Man: I'm sorry; we're not open for business yet.

Woman: What's going on here? What happened to the copy shop? Jerry? Is that you?

Man: Oh, hi there Roslyn. Welcome to my little bistro. As you can see, I can't really serve you yet. It'll probably take me another fortnight to be ready for business.

Woman: But what happened to your studies? Aren't you going back to college?

Man: I don't know. I'd really like to give this a try first.

Woman: Think of what you're throwing away. There can't be a future in this.

Man: Are you joking? A bistro right next to a university has got to be a goldmine; especially if you think about the canteen food.

Woman: I have to agree on the last one but couldn't you've waited at least until you've finished your degree?

Man: You know I never had my heart in horticulture. I only studied it because my old man wanted me to.

Woman: My, will he have a surprise when he finds out!

Man: Now where do you think the money comes from for fixing this place up?

Woman: I'm stumped!
