[00:38.99]Rose:Did you read that letter in the newspaper about smoking? The person who wrote that must be crazy.

[00:53.57]Rose:Maybe so. But a law banning cigarettes would do no good.
[00:58.93]Eric:No. You can't suddenly make smoking illegal. But the government could prohibit smoking in public places like cinemas and theatres.
[01:09.16]Rose:Yes, that's true. Anyway, in most places you can't smoke in cinemas.
[01:15.82]But I think people should be allowed to smoke on trains and buses. Don't you?

[03:24.37]"Arthritis?" she said. "Oh, no! What am I going to do?"
[03:30.53]"Don't worry," he answered, "I'll give you a prescription and the pain will go away."
