• Jess! Hello. What's wrong?
• Oh, Daddy. It's nothing. I was just thinking about my future.
• Um... you will be a high school student next year. Yeah, I understand why you would be thinking about your future.
• Yes, Daddy. I think of myself as a mature adult, so I am thinking very hard about my future.
• What exactly are you thinking about? We can talk about it if you want to.
• Thanks, Dad. I'm wondering whether I should choose Richard or Alex.
• Pardon? Richard? Alex?
• Yeah. Richard is nicer than Alex, but I like Alex because he is wild! But the thing is he is an indecisive person...
• Jess...?
• Richard is saving quite lot of money, but I don't need money if I have love. Nevertheless, we need money to live. Alex's family owns a huge seafood restaurant.
