Ramone:: Hey Jen, would you like to go to dinner with me?

Jenny: I don't know. You know what they say about office romances.

Ramone: No. I don't. What do they say about office romances?

Jenny: They say you shouldn't mix love and work.

Ramone: That's silly. What I do on my own time is nobody else's business. Besides, it pretty hard to meet people outside of the office when we spend long hours here.

Jenny: You've got a point. But I once dated one of my supervisors and all of my co-workers accused him of favoritism(偏爱，偏心). Then when the relationship went bad, he fired me.

Ramone: Hey, it's the 90s. People fall in love with people they work with. That's a fact.

Jenny: That may be true. But I don't want an inter-office relationship to affect my productivity.

Ramone: If it does, it will only make you more productive, because we can support each other.

Jenny: You're sounding like we're already married.

Ramone: Good grief(哎呀，天哪). All I did was ask you out. I'm sorry.

Jenny: Well, I still don't feel right about it.

Ramone: I'm talking about dinner tonight, not a lifetime.

Jenny: It starts with dinner, but then it gets out of hand(无法控制). Besides, haven't you asked out every woman in the entire office?

Ramone: I like company(我喜欢交际).

Jenny: Company? I heard about you from Linda. She said you were an octopus(用情不专的人)!

Ramone: What can I say? I'm a passionate (多情的 )guy.

Jenny: Well, I hope you can find something else to be passionate about.

Ramone: You want to go out with me and you know it.

Jenny: In your dreams. Now if you don't mind, I've got some work to do.

Ramone: Okay, I get the message. Hey, do you have any sisters?
