You're so nervous. ,M: I'm sorry for my strange behavior. I don't know why I pretended I didn't know who you were. I just didn't know how to start the conversation. ,F: That's OK. It's refreshing to talk to somebody who's actually honest for once, so do you like this music? ,M: Not really. I prefer rock and roll mostly. But I like to listen to blues when I'm alone.
