Impulse

M-I think your cell phone is ringing.

W-Yeah, I know. It's my mother, i'm ignoring all of her calls today. I will turn it off so it doesnt bother you.

M-It's not bothering me. I just wanted to make sure you knew it was ringing.

W-Oh, thanks.

M-I'm Tom, and you are?

W-Oh, I'm Emma.

M-Well, Its nice to meet you Emma. Where are you headed?

W-Anywhere away from my mother.

M-Wow, you guys are not getting along i take it.

W-Nope.

M-....Well, uhh...This train is taking a long time. Do you want to go get a cup of coffee with me inside while we wait.

W-Sure. I'd like that.

M-Your phone is going off again.

W-I'm sorry, I'm turning it off right now.

M-Do you mind if I ask why you are ignoring all of your mothers calls?

W-It's stupid. I am embarrassed to say.

M-Don't worry. I wont tell anyone.

W-Well, my mother was setting me up on a blind date today. She's always trying to find me a man, and they always end up being terrible. She swears this time will be differn't. I know it wont though. Have you ever been on a blind date?

M-Actually no, but I was going to go on one this afternoon. I have a feeling that it is going to be cancelled though.
