Textuality » 3A Interacting
What would you do?
Sandra: Peter, have you got a minute? I want to ask your advice about something.
Peter: Sure. What's the problem?
Sandra: It's about Carol?: You know she's going out with Terry now. She's really crazy about
him.
Peter: I know.
Sandra: I saw him at a disco later on ... He didn't see me. He was too busy kissing Sharon
Bates.
Peter: Sharon!
Sandra: Yes, I don't trust Terry, I ‘ve never really liked him. But now I'm not sure what to
do. If you were me, would you say something to Carol?
Peter: No, I wouldn't. My advice is to stay out of it. If you tell Carol, she'll be really upset
Sandra: If I told her, at least she would know! What are friends for? If my boyfriend did
something like that , I would want to know about it.
Peter: You haven't got a boyfriend.
Sandra: If I had one.
Peter: Listen, Sandra. It's none of your business. If you get involved, you'll be sorry.
