Jordi: Not really, no.
Tiri: Let me show you on the map. It’s here, look.
Jordi: Ok. Fantastic. And where’s the best place to go fishing?
Tiri: Erm, there’s a good place here, in Moss.

Tiri: No, it’s about tree hours by car.
Jordi: Ok, thanks. But I think that it’s a little bit far for me

Jordi: What does she look like?
Tiri: She’s quite short, with straight dark hair.
Jordi: Oh yes, I can see her. What’s she like?
