soony——I know，I know.But that's no reason not to ask them.
laurance——We asked them last year and what did they say？
soony——actually，they didn't say anything.
laurance——Yeah.They didn't say anything and they didn't do anything.
soony——I think they might do something this year.I was talking to Gail last week and I thought I detected a more friendly attitude.
laurance——There you go with your optimism！Don't get your hopes too high！
soony——I won't，but it doesn't hurt to expect the best.Sometimes you get it！
