D: Hi, Jeff! What's up?
J: Nothing much. What about you?
D: Same as usual. Here, have a stick of gum.
J: No, thanks. I'll stick to my own brand.
D: And what brand's that?

D: Never mind. Please stop talking. Your breath stinks. I'm out of here.
J: Boy! These Americans don't know what's good for them. Besides, what's the point of chewing gum anyway?
