Renee: Do you want my help with this or not?
Bruce: Of course I do, but so far you’ve shot down everyidea I have for my date with Patricia.
Renee: Not every one. I think picking her up at herhouse is a nice touch. It’s better than havingher meet you at either the MRT station or therestaurant.
Bruce: Isn’t that what a gentleman is supposed to do?I hear my mom talking about that all the time.
Renee: It is, and you’ve learned well. However, I’m notso sure about your choice of restaurant.
Bruce: Why not? Patricia told me she hadn’t had aburger in ages.
Renee: No woman wants to go to Burger King on herfirst date. It’s almost as if you are telling her you just want to be friends and not something more.
Bruce: OK, then where do you suggest?
Renee: If you really want her to take notice of you, thenthe only place is The Winery. It serves reallyfine French dishes.
Bruce: That sounds pretty fancy and really expensive.I’m not sure if I can afford that.
Renee: You’re right. It’s not cheap, but it’s quietenough for you two to talk and really get to knowone another. Don’t you think Patricia is worthit?
