Michael: | You know, I've always wanted to have my fortune told. |
Roxane: | Really? Do you know where you can get it done? |
Michael: | I'm not sure. But maybe there are some fortune-tellers listed in the phone book. Let's take a look. |
Roxane: | Hmm. Here's one. You could have your palm read by Madame Zara for $70. |
Michael: | That's really expensive. |
Roxane: | What about this one? You can get your fortune told over the phone for only $3.75 a minute. |
Michael: | That's reasonable. Come on. Try it with me! |
: | (Michael dials the fortune-teller's phone number). |
Fortune-teller | Fortune-Tellers International. This is Madame Ines. Let me tell you what the future will bring. What's your sign? |
Michael: | I'm a Leo. |
Fortune-teller | Hmm ... let's see. Well, this is going to be an interesting week for you. |
Michael: | Why is that? |
Fortune-teller | It seems that you're waiting to hear about something important, and you should have good news toward the end of the week. |
Michael: | Hmm ... I wonder what that's about. |
Fortune-teller | But your situation at work or at school will become more difficult in the coming days. You may find things boring for a while, but you should be patient. |
Michael: | OK. |
Fortune-teller | Now, on the personal side, you will have some lively and interesting discussions with someone you know well. Pay attention to this friend's advice because it will turn out to be good for you in the long run. |
Michael: | OK. That doesn't sound too bad. |
Fortune-teller | If you would like to hear more, I'll need your credit card number, please. |
Michael: | Oh. It's 8997-9670072 ...
