output answer: M: Did you mind coming back by coach instead of by train?
W: Well, I didn't intend to in the first place. But when I was in university, there was a course on senses. The other senses seem to be more concrete somehow, but smell is so personal. I found it extremely interesting. M: Do you have any interesting information to give us about smells? W: Well, let's see. Did you know that it's harder to forget smells than to forget facts? There have been experiments where people could pick out a particular smell thirty days after smelling it for the first time. M: Really? So smells can bring back more memories than, say, music? W: That seems to be the case. M: That's interesting. So what's your favorite smell? W: Oh, I have lots of different ones. The smells of the sea reminds me of happy family holidays, and the smell of roses makes me think of my friend's house. Strangely enough, I like the smell of air craft fuel at airports. Then I know I am going to fly somewhere exciting. But it's the general smell of my garden in the rain that I really like the most. That means I am at home where I should be.

Q: W: A person has to write the code, test it to make sure it spreads properly and then release the virus. A person also designs the virus's attack phase, whether it is a silly message or destruction of a hard disk. M: So why do people do it? W: There are at least three reasons. The first is the same psychology that drives people to set fire with intention. The second reason has to do with the passion of watching things blow up. Many people have a fascination with things like explosions and car crashes. The third reason probably involves showing off rights. What was said before this conversation?

Question: M: It's... it's my leg, doctor. My right leg. I keep getting a strange pain in it. W: Could you tell me what the pain is like? M: It's like... like boiling water running down my leg. It's been getting worse lately, too. I've been losing sleep. W: You mean the pain's been keeping you awake? M: Yes, that's right. It's been keeping me awake. W: Now, tell me, how long have you had this trouble? M: The pain? For about a year now. W: Hmm... Have you been getting tired lately after you have had a walk? For example, have you been getting a big short of breath, perhaps? M: Why, yes! Yes, I have, doctor! W: Hmm... I think we'd better give you a few tests here in the hospital. M: Do you think it's serious,doctor? W: Probably not. M: But... Doctor Cook, my local doctor, thinks it's only that I've been working too hard lately. W: That could be the reason. Don't worry, we'll find out soon. What was said before this conversation?
