Ano... you dropped your grocery list.
Oh! Thanks!
You're welcome. Do you by chance know where the natto is?
(natto = It's a traditional Japanese health food of fermented soybeans. Natto may be an acquired taste because of its powerful smell, strong flavor, and slimy texture. But it is as an excellent source of vitamins. I personally like to eat it with an egg- yolk, green onion, dried bonito shavings and soy sauce.)
It's with the tofu next to the produce section.
(tofu = It is a food made from condensed soy milk.)
(produce section = 青果コーナー vegetable section)
(meat section = お肉コナー)
(deli section = 惣菜コーナー)
(dairy products section = 乳製品コーナー)
Oh, you really know your way around this place.
Funny you should say that. I just moved here.
Well, welcome to Samagawari. I used to live here years ago. I'm Hisashi.
Nice to meet you, Hisashi. I'm Hope.

There's another good looking couple and ...
Yeah. Another good start.
By the way, do you by chance know when the show ends?
Well, Ken, I think it should have ended...
A minute ago.
A minute ago.
Oh, my goodness. Well...

Elf trouble?

My battery is dead again. I should've replaced it.
I've got jumper cables. Pop your head.
It was a stroke of luck you stopped to help me. I'm most grateful.
Think nothing of it. If you'd like, I can show you where to get a new battery.
Are you sure it's no trouble?
No trouble at all. Follow me. We can fly from here.
Oh, just a second. I can't seem to fly either.
Let's walk then. It's fashionable these days.
Oh!

Nice! Well, you know, they say that the cleaning robot is out of order and somebody has to clean the studio.
(out of order = 故障して、正常に動作しないで doesn't work)
Oh, my goodness. Well, I'll help.
Me too.
Are you sure it's no trouble?
Sure.
It's huge.
That's okay.
Well, that's about it for today. I'm going home.

So far so good. I'm from Niagara, and the winters are tough there.

It was 25 below the day I left. I wasn't sure my car would start!
You drove cross-country?
I did!
My! You are beau... brave!
Well, I got to keep learning Japanese on the radio all the way.
Good for you!
I don't know what the program is about. But it makes you feel like you understand some of the Japanese. Ken, the host is speaking.
I listen to it myself.
You do?
I do.

So how do you like the story so far, you guys?
So far so very good.

I'm sorry for your loss.
Thank you. That was a long time ago.
I sympathize completely. I've been there, too.
