Richard: I do. Very much. Yes.

Todd: OK. What kind of art do you like?

Todd: OK.

Richard: When I was young I used to enjoy painting.

Todd: OK. What did you paint?

Richard: OK. When I was a kid, I was in art class so it was all fairly sort of basic standard stuff like country scenes.

Todd: Country scenes. So in a country scene, what can you see?

Richard: OK. I can see a red house with a chimney, billowing smoke.. green fields, luscious green grass in England.

Todd: Wow, so is your.. is your home like that in England?

Richard: Actually, no. No, It's not in the.. we're in the suburbs of London, we're not really in the country.

Todd: Oh.

Richard: And I used to paint sort of idyllic countryside scenes.

Todd: OK. Which do you prefer, the country of the city?

Richard: To paint or to live in?

Todd: To paint.

Richard: To paint. To paint I prefer the country.

Todd: OK. Great.

Richard: To live in, I think it is more convenient being near a big city.

Todd: OK. Great. Thanks.
