I thought if I could find out about kitchen things, they would be the best sorts of presents.W: Well, I suppose the first you need is a cooker. Do you want an electric one or a gas one?M: Hm.

Its a job that certainly offers a chance for public service.M: It seems to me that its a real honor for you.W: Yes, it is. But Ive been with this bank for so many years. Ever since I graduated from college, in fact.M: But its an honor for the bank, too, for the training and experience its given you.W: Yes, I suppose I can think of it that way.M: Then, youve decided to accept the offer?W: Probably, yes, almost certainly.
