Chichibio: Pronto.

Agent: Hello, is Mr. Chichibio there?

Chichibio: Yes?

Agent: Hello, Mr. Chichibio. I’m Mimi Lam from Skyline’s Agency. We’d love to arrange your trip from Florence, Italy to Honolulu, Hawaii during March 23^rd to April 1^st.

Chichibio: Permit me to refresh my memories, ma’am. (Pause) I’m looking forward to Hawaii. I’m cold enough in Florence. 4° are too cold.

Agent: I understand. We don’t have to be so formal with each other since we will interact often in the near future. Please call me Mimi.

Chichibio: Okay. I’m a Venice chef for Mr. Currado Gianfigliazzi. Could I sample local food so I can cook them for my kind messer?

Agent: Certainly. I could arrange for you experience the food and meet the cook so you can get some tips.

Chichibio: Great. Excuse me. (Background: Donna, you won’t get any of this turkey.) Sorry.

Agent: Aloha, I will call you another time, and mahalo for choosing our agency.

Chichibio: Aloha.
