Dialogue A
Anne is a schoolgirl; James is a schoolboy; Mr. Jones is a businessman; and Miss Eccles is … a cook.
Anne: I never want any breakfast. Just a cup of tea and a piece of toast…
James: I don’t eat much either. Just some cornflakes, and an egg, and coffee, and toast and marmalade.
Anne: I call that a huge breakfast!
James: No, it isn’t! Anyhow, I haven’t time for any more during the week when I have to get to school.
Mr. Jones: Well, what do you have at the weekend, James?
James: Oh, on Sundays it’s different. I have orange juice, then porridge, with sugar and cream, and bacon and sausages — and scrambled eggs, of course — and coffee and toast and honey.
Anne: What do you have, Mr. Jones?
Mr. Jones: Oh! I never change, I always have the same; bacon and eggs.
Miss Eccles: But you don’t have to cook it yourself, do you?
Mr. Jones: Well, no. My wife cooks the breakfast. She cooks the most perfect bacon and eggs in the world! I can smell them cooking, while I’m shaving. I just couldn’t start the day in any other way!
Miss Eccles: You’re lucky. I have to cook other people’s breakfasts. I never eat any myself. Just half a grapefruit and a cup of tea for me.
Anne: You’re like me. I can’t think how people eat those great huge meals at eight o’clock in the morning!
Mr. Jones: You see, James, women are always thinking about their figures. They’re afraid of getting fat…
Miss Eccles: There’s just one thing: sometimes, when I’m on holiday, I have a special treat…
Mr. Jones: And what’s that?
Miss Eccles: A lovely, fat, juicy kipper!
James: Oh, I’d forgotten about kippers! They’re the best of all!
