#Person1#: Hi. I think I'm sitting next to you. Seat 35B.
#Person2#: Oh,sorry. I'll just move my things. Hold on a minute.
#Person1#: Thanks. Phwoo...I've been waiting in departure for ages.
#Person2#: Mmm...The flight was delayed leaving Beijing. Security checks, you know.
#Person1#: Yeah. Same here.
#Person2#: Are you going to London, then?
#Person1#: Yes. I'm going to the LSE to do a master's degree in International Relations.
#Person2#: Really? That sounds interesting. You must be really clever.
#Person1#: So are you going to London too?
#Person2#: Well actually, I'm going to the University of Middlesex to do Business Studies.
#Person1#: That sounds interesting.
#Person2#: Well actually, it's my parents who want me to do Business Studies. I'd rather study Philosophy, but my dad wants me to take over the family business. He thinks Business Studies will make me rich.
#Person1#: Well, nobody wants to be poor...ah, here's the drinks trolley. What would you like?
#Person2#: A Coke, please,I'm sorry...I don't know your name...
#Person1#: Oh, sorry. I forgot...Ali.
