 A:    This is the good life! We have it good don’t you
       think?

 B:    Yeah of course! Although, don’t you ever wonder
       what ”could have been”?

 A:    What do you mean?

 B:    Well, sometimes I think of how things could have
       turned out if I had done things a little differently.

 A:     For example?

 B:     Like for example, if I hadn’t studied architecture¹, I
       would have become an artist like I wanted to.
 A:     I see. Yeah now that I think of it, I wouldn’t have
       gotten married² if I hadn’t moved to this town and
        met Sally.

 B:    You see!  Everything  happens  for  a  reason! We
       wouldn’t even have met if I hadn’t been in that car
       accident ten years ago!

 A:    Well, I have no regrets³!

 B:     I’ll drink to that!
