Robin : Did you meet that guy, Richard, at the party last night?

Michele : Oh my God, he was so egotistical . He kept talking about how intelligent he was and how much money he makes. He even said he was thinking about becoming a professional model. Like that's ever going to happen!

Robin : And Brad, the artist from New York, he was rather eccentric ! He told me he sculpts and paints nothing but frogs. He even said he wanted to introduce a new line of frog jewelry. That's a little odd.

Michele : He wasn't strange at all. I thought he was very imaginative . You have to be really creative to become such a successful artist. He was also incredibly sensitive- he almost started crying as he told me about his art. By the way, look at the ring he gave me.

Robin : He gave you a frog ring? That's the ugliest thing I've ever seen!

Michele : It is not! I think it's really sophisticated. He said his jewelry is the latest trend among the New York elite. Wasn't that thoughtful of him to give me one of his creations.

Robin : Not really, I think he just wanted some free advertising.

Michele : My God, you are so cynical ! Wasn't there anybody you liked at the party?

Robin : Yeah, Bill was really nice. He was the only sensible , clear-thinking person I met there.

Michele : Oh, the waitress is coming. Have you decided what to order?

Robin : I'm not sure what I want to order. I don't know what I want.

Michele : You are so picky . Nothing is ever good enough for you.

Robin : That's not true! I'm just a little indecisive .

Michele : Well, you need to decide soon so we can order.
