SPEAKER_04 9:09

Look, I made cookies for my friend. She said I didn't make her any cookies uh when it was her birthday, but that's just because I don't know what her birthday is.

SPEAKER_03 9:19

Seems like a herd issue, honestly. I'm not in that late.

SPEAKER_02 9:28

We don't know let's see over there still a lot of trouble. As long as they're all your encouragement.

SPEAKER_00 9:36

You're welcome. You're welcome. Look at the real life.

SPEAKER_02 9:40

Even sometimes it's a fact, and sometimes a fact is not nice, but encouragement will still be much better than insulting.

SPEAKER_03 9:49

Why are you so late?

SPEAKER_02 9:52

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_03 9:57

It's okay, man.

SPEAKER_02 9:58

Oh, I told Dad I said going to Venice is very expensive, so that's it. We may have taken a train to go there. To Venice? Well, yeah, we sleep one night on the train. Instead of flight. Why does that hate me? I will need to check. No, genuinely, why does that happen? Means we'll go to Frankfurt, uh train station and take the train and go to Venice. No, no, I know what it means. Let's just find some company. We have a long weekend uh uh on the last week of May, 24th or 25th, I don't remember. Three days. I was thinking about going to Venice with you in the three days.

SPEAKER_04 10:36

Okay, sure.

SPEAKER_02 10:37

Because my colleague dumped me.

SPEAKER_04 10:39

She dumped you? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 10:40

For good reason, because her parents are here.

SPEAKER_04 10:43

Okay, fair enough.

SPEAKER_02 10:46

I see. Oh my god. Her parents are here, so yeah. Uh you should say. But I need to figure out if we can go by train or is that uh cheaper because by flight at the hotel is very expensive. But we still have to buy a hotel, right? Hotel, yes, so we can live in Airbnb. The old Airbnb looks not very.
