Tags: Relationships Audio Index: Slow dialog: 1:37 Explanations: 3:47 Fast dialog: 18:06 I’ve been trying to set up my good friend, Rachid, with one of my single girlfriends, but I still wasn’t too sure what his type would be. Tamara: So, tell me what you’re looking for in a woman. Rachid: She has to be rich and hot! Tamara: Come on! Be serious. Rachid: Okay, okay, but I don’t know why married people are always trying to get their single friends married off. Is it because misery loves company? Tamara: Stop being a smart aleck and answer the question. Rachid: All right. I’m being serious now. What do I look for in a woman? I’d like someone who has a good sense of humor, someone who is kind-hearted and easy to talk to, and is supportive of me. Tamara: What about vital statistics? Age, physical type? Rachid: She has to be pretty, but I’m not too picky about whether she’s a blond, brunette, or redhead. She should be my height or shorter, and around my age or a few years younger or older. Tamara: That helps a little to narrow down who may be a good match for you. Any deal killers? Rachid: I don’t like women who are too chatty or who are too bossy. Otherwise, I have a pretty open mind when it comes to women. Tamara: Okay, I can think of at least a couple of friends who may be willing to put up with you. Rachid: Put up with me? Are you kidding? I’m a catch! Tamara: Oh, geez. Finding somebody for you is going to be harder than I thought! Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
