A Short Polite Dialogue

A - Would you like something to drink?

B - Yes, thank you.

A - What would you like?

B - Water or juice would be fine, thank you.

A - Would you like orange juice, pineapple juice, or grapefruit juice?

B - Well, if it's not too much trouble, grapefruit juice would be good.

A - It's not any trouble at all. Wait just a minute. I'll be right back.

A - Here you are.

B - Thank you very much.

A - If you want more, just let me know.

B - Thank you. This is really good. I was so thirsty.

A - You're quite welcome. If you were that thirsty, you should have said
something. You didn't have to wait for me to offer.

B -Thank you so much. You’re very kind.

A - Oh, think nothing of it at all. You're quite welcome.
