Overheard near Hamilton: A young girl, and a grown man with a dog.

Man with dog: Hey, how are you?
Girl: I’m good, how are you?
Man: Fine.
Girl: What’s your dog’s name?
Man: Chloe.
Girl: Hey, Chloe! [girl pets dog]
Man: Say hi, Chloe. [dog is quiet] Come on Chloe! Say hi!

[Dog does nothing]

Man: She’s not in a very good mood today.
Girl: Why not?
Man: She just found out she has cancer.
Girl: (awkwardly) Oh?
Man: Yeah.

[pause]

Girl: Well…talk to you later!
Man: Ok, see you!
