"Come on, undress." "I won't look." " I only said it to annoy him." " Well, undress." "Ah, you love him!" " He's getting married today." " So, why the certificate?" "He might not." "You need a fortune-teller, not me!" "He loves me, he loves me not..." "Shall I undress?" "I once had to deal with a girl who fell under the tram." "She'd hobbled herself tied red ribbon around her knees so as to walk gracefully!" "When the tram came she forgot she could not run." "I must look into your eyes!" "Yes, nothing's wrong!" "The examination is concluded." "I know you switch duty to be here during my shift." "A cat crossed my path on the way here." "So I said to the cat..." "You, cat, why do you cross my path?" "And he replied..." "No, he didn't he just drew back." "You see, the cat understood, but not you!" "Here, you won't have to go to work." "I don't suppose I'll meet him anyway." " Then go to work."
