Dialogue Script: Have you been on a diet?

Ben: Hi, Rod, long time no see. How’s it going?
Rod: Pretty good. Hey, you look thinner than the last time I saw you. Have you been on a diet?
Ben: Me? Oh, no! I’ve been working out at the gym three times a week now, that’s why, you’re right, I did use to be fatter.
Rod: Wow, you probably feel a lot healthier now, don’t you?
Ben: I do, it’s great to be in shape. So, I heard you moved into a bigger apartment, right? How’s the new place?
Rod: Very good. My family is really happy about this new apartment, more spacious and comfortable than the last one. We have a bigger living room and one extra bedroom now, and that makes all the difference.
Ben: Great, you do sound happy. How about the neighborhood, is it quieter?
Rod: It is and the good thing is we have great neighbors.
Ben: Wow, sounds like you made the right move. You’re also living closer to the company now, aren’t you?
Rod: I am. I can get to work faster now. My commute to work used to take about half an hour, but now it only takes me about fifteen minutes.
Ben: Good for you!
