B Kim! Hello! Great to see you. Come on in . Let me take your coat.

Kim Thanks very much. Oh, these are for you.
A What lovely flowers! How kind of you! Thank you so much. Now, I don't
think you know Henry? Let me introduce you. Henry, this is Kim.
H Hello, Kim. Nice to meet you. I've heard a lot about you.
Kim Oh. I hope it was all good!
H Where exactly are you from, Kim?
Kim Well, I'm Canadian. I was born in Saskatoon but I've been working in the US for the last couple of years.
H That's interesting. And what are you doing in London?
Kim Work, I'm sorry to say. Actually, I'm on my way to Amsterdam for a conference, and I thought I'd stop over in London to see Anna and Ben. We used to work together in New York.
H And how do you find London, Kim? Is it like home, or is it very different?
Kim Well, it's very different from Saskatoon and New York! I know London quite well, actually, I always love it here.
B Now, Kim. What would you like to drink?
Kim Oh, could I have a beer? No, sorry, I'll have a glass of red wine, if that's OK.
B Right. I'll just get that for you.
Kim Thanks.
A Right, everybody. Dinner's ready. Come and sit down. Kim, can you sit next to Henry?
Kim Yes, of course.
B Has everyone got a drink? Cheers, everybody!
Kim Cheers! It's great to be here.
A Kim, help yourself. Would you like some Parmesan parsnips?
Kim Parmesan parsnips? I don't think I’ve ever had them. What are they?
A Well, they're parsnips coated in Parmesan cheese and roasted. Would you like to try some?
Kim Well, I'd love to but I'd better not — cheese doesn't always agree with me.
B Another glass of wine, perhaps?
Kim No, I'm alright, thanks very much. But d'you think l could have a glass of water?
B Yes, of course. Sparkling or still?
Kim Just tap water would be fine. That's great! Thanks a lot.
A Well, bon appetit everyone!
