Jenny and Frank are at a coffee shop.
(F=Frank; J=Jenny)
F: Did you read about the "special juice," Jenny?
J: Yeah. Isn't it disgusting?
F: Well, what gets me is how come so many people are using it.
J: It's incredible, isn't it?
F: Mind you, though, there might be some truth in the matter.
J: What? I can't believe what I'm hearing. Are you that naive?
F: I'm not so sure. It might really work.
J: Gee, don't tell me you're interested in trying it.
F: Why not?
J: Tell you what, I've been drinking coffee all morning. I'll do you a favor...
F: Thanks, but I prefer my own brand.
