M: So, Mary, what are you going to do for dinner tonight?
W: (1)I think I’ll go home, see what’s in my fridge and in my cupboard and cook something up. I’m not sure what yet.
M: Ah, you’re going to cook?
W: Yeah, of course.
M: (2)Actually, I almost never cook. I cook maybe once or twice a year.
W: Really? Well, what do you do then? What do you eat?
M: Oh, I always eat out. I buy my dinner every night. I think it’s just better.
W: Oh, my God! Every night?
M: Every night.
W: How is it better, Todd? I don’t understand.
M: Well, I mean,(3)I know it’s a waste of money, but it just saves me a lot of time so I don’t have to go buy the food, store the food, and prepare the food, cook the food, then clean up afterwards.
W: Yeah, I don’t like that part so much.
M: Right. When you just eat out, you know, it’s quick and easy. It saves you time.
W: (4)Yeah, hmm, I can see what you’re saying about the time factor but for me sometimes cooking is a way of almost relieving stress, you know, or if I’m thinking about the day that’s gone by and maybe something has stressed me out, I’ll just go to the kitchen, and as long as I’m on my own, I don’t have to talk to anybody, and I can think about things that are going on. I find it quite relaxing.
M: Actually, I can see that. However, I run every night, you know, I love jogging and I usually jog for about an hour. And so when I come home, I’m sweaty, I need to take a shower, and I just don’t have time to cook. So I just buy my food on the way home from my run to save time.
W: That surprises me actually because I know you run, so you’re really into your fitness, but you don’t consider the health factor about buying food all the time because it’s always processed food, you know.
M: Yeah, that’s true. Well, I try to go to the deli in the supermarket and you know, they always have nice people behind the counter, often some sweet old lady and she’s made some nice salad, or some dish, and I always figure, she can make it better than me.
W: Right, probably.
M: (5)And when I buy it I’m providing a job for somebody else, so there are a lot of good benefits by doing this system. Plus it’s very social, because I live alone so I talk to the person at the counter, and I get a variety of local information every night.
