116 I Prefer My Own Brand p.303

 
    Jenny and Frank are at a coffee shop.
    (F=Frank; J=Jenny)
F: Did you read about the "special juice," Jenny?
J: Yeah. Isn\'t it disgusting?
F: Well, what gets me is how come so many people are using it.
J: It\'s incredible, isn\'t it?
F: Mind you, though, there might be some truth in the matter.
J: What? I can\'t believe what I\'m hearing. Are you that naive?
F: I\'m not so sure. It might really work.
J: Gee, don\'t tell me you\'re interested in trying it.
F: Why not?
J: Tell you what, I\'ve been drinking coffee all morning. I\'ll do you a favor...
F: Thanks, but I prefer my own brand.
