Karen:Tá tú croíbhriste.




Jason:Tá, tá mé trína chéile.




Karen:Cén fhad a bhí sibh ag siúl amach le chéile?




Jason:Ar feadh bliain go leith.




Karen:Agus cén fhad atá sibh scartha anois?




Jason:Coicís.




Karen:Céard a tharla?




Jason:Bhuail sí le fear eile.




Karen:Tá an-bhrón orm é sin a chloisteáil. Cé hé an fear seo?




Jason:Dónall Ó Murchú is ainm dó. As Ros Comáin é ach tá siopa ceoil aige i nGaillimh.




Karen:Dónall Ó Murchú! Tá aithne mhaith ag mo dheartháir air. Shíl mé i gcónaí go raibh seisean aerach.




Jason:Bhuel, is léir nach bhfuil níos mó.
