STEVEN: We should take our coworkers out to celebrate this weekend. ALBERT: Yes, the project was a big success. Now that it's finished, I think we should have a party. STEVEN: But I'm not sure what to do. We could invite them all to dinner at the Red Lobster, and then come here for drinks. ALBERT: This place? STEVEN: Yes, why not? This is one of the best pubs in the neighborhood. A lot of the employees live around here. So it would be convenient. ALBERT: I have a suggestion. Why don't we go to a KTV and sing? STEVEN: A KTV? Are you serious? ALBERT: Yes, why not? Don't you like KTVs? STEVEN: I don't know. I never went to one. ALBERT: Never? Really? I'm surprised. STEVEN: Why should you be? Many Americans have never gone to a KTV. It's not an American thing to do. ALBERT: But there are a lot of KTVs in town. There's one just two blocks from here. STEVEN: That's because there are a lot of Asian immigrants here. All their customers are Asians. Americans don't usually go out to sing with their friends. ALBERT: I suppose. It's true that when I go to a KTV here in town, there are almost no Westerners. STEVEN: See? ALBERT: But you know, Steven--half of the employees in our company are from Japan. So going to a KTV would be fun for them. STEVEN: But what about the other employees? ALBERT: Well, I think you would have a good time too. We'd have to teach you, of course. STEVEN: Do they have English songs there? ALBERT: Of course. They have a lot of English songs. STEVEN: Well, maybe we should suggest it to the office tomorrow. I'm willing to try. ALBERT: Good. We Japanese working in America always have to learn about American culture. It would be good to introduce something Japanese to you. STEVEN: Let's give it a try then.
