#Person1#: Don't tell me you're bored already?
#Person2#: Well, yeah, I am.
#Person1#: We just got here. You will have to find a way to entertain yourself then.
#Person2#: What can I do? There are just a bunch of boring people giving boring speeches.
#Person1#: Too bad. I have to sit through it, so you do, too. Even if it's a little boring, it's important for me to be here. I have to listen carefully, take notes and then interview some of the speakers afterward. I work for the Daily News after all. Didn't you bring anything to read?
#Person2#: I brought my iPod and some headphones. Would it be rude to listen to some music?
#Person1#: Yes, it would. I might have a few old newspapers in my bag. You could read them. They also have sections with games in them, like crossword puzzles. That will keep you busy for a while.
#Person2#: I hate crosswords. Do the papers have comic sections in them?
#Person1#: You'll probably find some. Now be quiet! Another man is getting up to speak. I really have to pay attention to this one. It's the head of the charity organization.
