Bill： Nothing much。 I just left that girl I met at the party。
Mike： But it's three thirty； have you been together since last night？
Bill： Yep。
Mike： You dog。
Bill： No； it's not what you think。 She is a very nice girl and we just sat up and talked allnight。
Mike： I thought you didn't want to meet a nice girl。
Bill： Actually I didn't at first。 But once I started talking with her it was different。
Mike： This is not like you。 What was so different？
Bill： She is intelligent and funny and。。。
（Bill stops and thinks without saying anything。）
Mike： And what？
Bill： And beautiful。
Mike： You sound like you're in love。
Bill： I think I am。
Mike： But I thought you didn't believe in love at first sight。
Bill： I didn't before last night； but now I'm not so sure。
Mike： Wow； of all my friends you are the last person I expected to be saying this。
Bill： I'm surprised too； but it's all true。 What can I say？
Mike： You don't have to say anything。 I think it's great。 But I have to run。 My laundry isgoing to get wrinkled。
Bill： What？ I may be in love for the first time in my life； and you're worried about yourlaundry？！
Mike： Sorry。 Hey； why don't you e to my room and we can talk about it there？
Bill： That's a great idea。 Let's go。~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Situation 22 The Internet

Charles： Kristina； do you usually use Netscape Navigator or Internet Explore when yousurf the web？
Kristina： Charles； I don't know anything about puters。 That's why I'm here to learnfrom you。
Charles： Oh； right。 Well； personally； I only use Netscape。 It's the best and besides I don'tlike using anything from Microsoft。
Kristina： Charles； let's start at the beginning。 What on earth does 〃surfing the web〃 mean？
Charles： I forgot。 You really are a beginner。 〃Surfing the web〃 means exploring the worldwild web。
Kristina： That's nice。 And what； may I ask； is the world wide web？
Charles： That's just like saying the internet。
Kristina： Okay； that's not so difficult to understand。
Charles： No； it isn't。 You'll understand all this in no time。
Kristina： I sure hope so。 Not knowing about the internet makes me feel so premodern。
Charles： Well； the internet will have you feeling postmodern。
Kristina： At this point； I'd be happy with just plain modern。
Charles： I think we can do that。 Here； let's go to my homepage。
Kristina： Um； I don't want to sound dumb； but what's the homepage。
Charles： Don't worry about it and don't ask so many questions。 Just listen； watch and learn；soon you will undertand everything。
Kristina： Is it really that easy？
Charles： Yes； I'm telling you。 All you have to do is be able to read and push buttons。 Thereis nothing more to it。
Kristina： That much I think even I can do。
Charles： I'm sure you can。~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Situation 23 Mike and Bill Arrive

Kristina： See you later； Mike； Bill。
（Charles and Kristina leave。）
Mike： Okay； they're gone now。 Tell me more。
Bill： There's nothing to tell。 I just think I'm in love。
Mike： Love？ That's ridiculous。 You don't even know her。
Bill： So what？ Don't you believe in love at first sight？
Mike： Yes； as a matter of fact； I do。 But you don't and you never have。
Bill： But I do now； people can change； you know？
Mike： I know。 I guess I'm just surprised to be hearing this from you； the one who changegirlfriend every week。
