TRANSCRIPT

WOMAN: Weren’t those animals at the pet store cute? I don’t know which pet to get.
Have you decided on which one you want yet?

MAN: I don’t know. It’s hard to decide. That black and white cat was sweet.

WOMAN: Yeah, I was thinking about a cat but then again, I like dogs more than cats. I
think dogs are more affectionate and a lot cuter.

MAN: Yeah, but they’re also a lot noisier. They bark all the time. And they’re always
licking your hand. Arghhh, I hate it when they do that! It feels so dirty!

WOMAN: But so do cats. I mean, not the barking bit but licking your hands.

MAN: True, but they don’t do it all the time. Also, cats are more independent, which is
great! They don’t need your attention ALL the time. You need a lot of time for a dog,
taking him for walks every day.

WOMAN: That’s ok. I work from home so we can go for long walks in my break.
Anyway, what kind of pet are you gonna get? It sounds like you really want a cat?

MAN: I’d like to but I have an allergy. So I was thinking of a frog.

WOMAN: A frog?

MAN: Yeah, why not? They eat little, they're not so noisy and, most of all, they don’t
lick hands!

WOMAN: Yeah, but… they are not cute and you cannot cuddle them. Frogs are boring!

MAN: Oh no, they are very interesting! You can watch them jump around, catch insects,
swim…

WOMAN: Well, thanks, Tim, for convincing me to get a dog!
