  • I'm Fei Fei.

  • And hello, I'm Rob.

  • Rob.

  • It's very kind of you to bring me to this cafe and to buy me a milkshake.

  • I love milkshakes.

  • Did I say I was paying?

  • Anyway, I wanted to talk to you about work.

  • Mmm.

  • Strawberry.

  • My favourite.

  • Yes, me too.

  • But back to talking about work.

  • You know we're moving the desks around.

  • Why do milkshakes taste so good?

  • Oh, look, I've finished mine.

  • As I was trying to say, it looks like you've got the short straw.

  • Oh, that's why I've drunk my milkshake quicker than you.
