Track 19 - 20

Characters: Heather and Mark

Heather: What do you want out of life?

Mark: I don’t know. Having an easy life, come and go and have fun…

Heather: Is that what the future with you will be like?

Mark: Yeah baby; the easy life. Fun, parties, etc.

Heather: I want more. What about 2 years from now? Five years?

Mark: I don’t know. I am working as an electrician for Atlas Electric as you know. I have some savings, but…

Heather: Yes, and what?

Mark: I live alone and I like that. I don’t have a house and don’t see myself buying one anytime soon. I’m happy the way I am.

Heather: I was thinking of marriage and settling down after I finish school. I am happy now, but I think I can be happier having someone study in my life.

Mark: I like the fact that you are honest.
