DIALOGUE1
M: Are you alright?
B: Not really.
My little sister told me that her boyfriend is a drug dealer.
M: Really? Do you know what kind of drugs he's into?
B: I'm not exactly sure, but I know that he was once charged with
illegally growing cannabis plants.
M: You know; there are quite a few people who don't think that
marijuana is a big deal. B: I know.
That's the problem. Though marijuana may not be so serious,
I think it often leads to other drugs.
M: So, you think it's a gateway drug?
B: Yes, I had a few friends in university who smoked a lot of weed,
but got bored with it so moved on to harder drugs like ecstasy,
cocaine, and morphine.
M: Did you ever experiment with drugs?
B: I used to smoke joints for fun in high school,
but then I started to depend on it to help me through each day.
M: So what happened?
B: My mom found a joint in my bedroom and
made me go to drug re-hab.
M: So did that make you quit?
B: No. I was upset with my mom for making me go.
M: What made you quit then?
B: I met my girlfriend and she told me that she'd only go out
with me if I quit.
M: Anything for love!
DIALOGUE2
B: Did you hear about Nicole Kidman's husband?
M: Do you mean Tom Cruise? Aren't they divorced?
B: No, Keith Urban. She married him after her marriage
to Tom ended.
M: Oh. No, I don't know anything about this. Who is he?
B: He's a country singer.
M: Oh, well, what happened?
B: Apparently in the 80s, he was addicted to cocaine and alcohol.
Drugs were an escape for him.
M: Is he still addicted to drugs?
B: Apparently, after battling his drug addiction for more
than two decades, he had finally cleaned up.
M: Well, that's good. I can't imagine Nicole Kidman living
with a druggie.
B: That's the thing. About four months after they got married,
he checked himself into a drug rehab centre again.
M: Poor Nicole. Drug addiction can really cause family and friends
a lot of grief.
B: She's told reporters that she's prepared to stand by his side and
to support him.
M: That's good of her. He's lucky to have someone in his life like her.
B: I think that life is tough enough without a drug
addiction to deal with.
