How to start a conversation
It's the sort of thing that's really easy to get wrong. Take this little gem, for example:
DRAMATIS PERSONAE:
Dan
Bloke
SCENE I: American Beauty, a bar in Osaka
Bloke: Where are you from?
Dan: England.
Bloke: No kidding? I'm from Germany! Which part of England are you from?
Dan: Coventry.
Bloke: Coventry... Coventry... Oh- that's the place that the Germans fucked up during the war, isn't it?
Dan: That'd be the one.
Way to go, Fritz!
