I thought you were going on a trip to Japan with your family. Jack : Well, I intended to go with them, but I thought again and changed my mind. Judy : Tell me. I'm interested in knowing' what keeps you from joining your beloved family and staying here. It certainly is not studying. Jack : No, certainly not. Michael arranged for me to work at his uncle's institution. Judy : How much will you be paid? Jack : Judy, I don't do it for money, but for experience. Besides, it's voluntary work. Judy : You work without payment? That's really something. What kind of work is it? Jack : I'll be a teacher in one of his uncle's orphanages. Judy : Oh, Jack, I'm impressed. Jack : When will you leave for home? Judy : Tomorrow. We'll fly to Hawaii two days after. I really have to pack now. Jack : Go then. Have a nice vacation! Judy : I'll send you postcards.
