A conversation

Setting: Oxford Street, London. A busy Sunday afternoon.

Characters:
Me - A tired, sweaty looking tourist with backpack
Promoter - well-dressed, perky looking, english 20-something woman trying to promote a london salon.

Scene:

Promoter (perkily): Hi, can I ask you where you usually get your hair cut?
Me: Umm...
Pause
Me: Some salon in Rhode Island?
Promoter: Oh, really?
Me: But the last time was in Edinburgh.
Promoter: Oh... how long will you be in London?
Me: Only until tonight.
Promoter (losing hope): Where are you going next?
Me: Um, Norwich? And then Germany in a week.
Promoter: Um, ok then (backs away looking confused).
