     Happy birthday /b/
Bob.         Hello, Barbara.
Barbara.     Hello, Bob. It’s my birthday today.
Bob.         Oh, yes! Your birthday! Happy birthday, Barbara!
Barbara.     Thanks, Bob. Somebody gave me this blouse for my
             birthday.
Bob.         What a beautiful blouse! It’s got brown and blue butter
             flies on it.
Barbara.     And big black buttons.
Bob.         Did Ruby buy it for you?
Barbara.     Yes. And my brother gave me a hairbrush and a book
             about baby birds.
Bob.         I didn’t remember your birthday, Barbara. I’m terribly
             sorry.
Barbara.     Well, you can buy me a big bottle of perfume, Bob!
Bob.         I’ve got a better idea. We’ll get into a cab and go to a
             pub, and I’ll buy you a bottle of beer!
