Please answer this: M: Yes, Kitty, that's right. W: I suppose you know quite a lot about banking by now, don't you? M: Oh, yes. To tell you the truth, I'm a bit tired of it. W: Really? Isn't it good to work in a bank? M: You know I've been working for the Merry Lynch Bank for over 15 years. W: So you are thinking of making a change,are you? M: Yes, I am. Actually, you know, I'm thinking of beginning my own business. W: That sounds great. M: Yes, I think it over, but the problem is money. If I had enough money, I'd leave the bank tomorrow. W: What are you going to do to solve the problem? M: I'll borrow some money from a bank, of course, but not from the one I've been working for. What was said before this conversation?
