HENRY:

Yes, I know you're shy when you're with girls.

CHARLES:

Well, I finally managed to get up enough nerve to ask her to dance. But I couldn't say a word to her. Nothing came to me.

HENRY:

Man! I would have thought of something to talk about!

CHARLES:

When the music stopped, I was able to say a few words to her.

HENRY:

But you didn't ask her her name?

CHARLES:

I tried to... Listen to what we said to each other, and then maybe you can understand why I didn't get her name.

CHARLES:

Thank you very much for the dance.

GIRL:

You're welcome. I enjoyed it very much, but now I must go.

CHARLES:

Oh... uh... Miss!

GIRL:

Yes?

CHARLES:

Can I call you tomorrow?

GIRL:

Of course, if you want to.

CHARLES:

Will you give me your phone number?

GIRL:

You can find it in the telephone directory.

CHARLES:

Oh, of course, How stupid I am!

GIRL:

Now I must go.

CHARLES:

But... uh... uh... I don't know your name.

GIRL:

You can find my name in the telephone directory, too! Goodbye!
