DEBORAH:Well, here we are, in Brighton, and this is our hotel. What do you think of the hotel, dear?

ALAN: Oh, it’s fine. Kind of old-fashioned, but fine. Anyway, I’m real hungry now. Let’s go get some lunch.

DEBORAH:Lunch? Not now, dear. First we’re going to take a look around Brighton.

ALAN: Oh come on honey, I’m hungry!

DEBORAH:So what’s new? No dear, first we take a walk, then we have lunch. That’s the rule! I’ll tell you what: we’ll go to the pier first.

ALAN: The pier? What’s that?

DEBORAH:Don’t you know what a pier is? We have them in the States too, you know. Anyway, come and see it - it’s great!

DEBORAH:So this is Brighton pier.

ALAN: Uh-huh. It’s like an amusement park back home - only kind of small.

DEBORAH:It’s nothing like an amusement park, Alan - it’s typically British.

ALAN: Like those video games over there: are they typically British?

DEBORAH:Come on Alan, you know what I mean. Like some things here are typically British, and some things are, well, like, not so typically British.

ALAN: Hey, look at that - cotton candy! Do you want some, honey?

DEBORAH:Cotton candy? No way! And don’t you have any either, Alan. What about your teeth?

ALAN: Listen honey, I’m not having lunch, OK? But I’ll have some cotton candy if I want some. I’m on vacation, right?

DEBORAH:Well, all right - just this one time. Oh, and don’t call it ‘cotton candy’, will you? The British call it ‘candyfloss’.

ALAN: What? Can you say that again?

DEBORAH:Candyfloss.

ALAN: Candyfloss. Here I go!

ALAN: You know what, honey? I’m still hungry. How about a typically British burger and fries?

DEBORAH:No way, honey! No way! Just think of all that fat! We’ll go get some lunch later. You can have something that’s good for you, like a salad.

ALAN: Gee, thanks! A salad. I can’t wait.

ALAN: Anyway, so what’s so great about this ‘pier’ thing, Deborah? Like, show me something here that’s typically British.

DEBORAH:Now what about that? That is just so British! You see - that pub down there? Hey, do you know that word, honey - ‘pub’? ‘Pub’ is what the British call a bar.

ALAN: Yeah, I know what a pub is. So let’s go get a drink.

DEBORAH:Here we are. Do you want to sit outside?

ALAN: No, it’s cold. Let’s go inside.

DEBORAH:Isn’t this so British? I’ll have a diet Coke.

ALAN: I’ll have a beer. I’ll go and get the drinks. Hey, what do you know? They have Budweiser here!

ALAN: Here you are: two typically British drinks: a diet Coke for you and a Budweiser for me. To our vacation! Cheers!

DEBORAH:Cheers! To our honeymoon!

ALAN: So what now? I’m still hungry, you know. What about a snack? A typically British snack, of course.

DEBORAH:No honey, no snacks. We’ll have lunch later.

ALAN: Fish and chips.

DEBORAH:No honey, not now.

ALAN: No, I mean, like, what does that mean? Is that a kind of food? What are ‘chips’, anyway?

DEBORAH:Chips are french fries, and you’re not having any, OK? No, I want to you show you this.

DEBORAH:Now this is so British! The ghost train! Are you afraid?

ALAN: Afraid of that? No way!

DEBORAH:Come on then, honey. Let’s go!

DEBORAH:Isn’t that amazing?

ALAN: Yeah, it’s really … uh … great. Really British. So can we go and have lunch now?

DEBORAH:In a minute! First we’re going on this.

ALAN: No way, Deborah. No way am I going on that thing! Not in a million years!

DEBORAH:Oh come on, honey! Don’t be afraid!

ALAN: I’m not afraid, I’m just… Oh, alright. But we’re having lunch next, OK?

ALAN: Oh! Geez!

DEBORAH:How are you, honey? Are you OK?

ALAN: I’ll be alright. Geez!

DEBORAH:Do you want to have lunch now, honey?

ALAN: No, er… not right now. Maybe later.

DEBORAH:I know what we’ll do, then. We’ll go to Lewes3
now.

ALAN: What’s that?

DEBORAH:Oh, it’s this really cute little town, it’s about 8 miles from here. There’s a castle, there are all these old houses. You’ll see. Come on - we can go by train.

ALAN: By train? Oh, alright. But you know, I really …
