Linda: "I know right. You're very used to your truck."
Allyn thinks for a while
Allyn: "Oh right. 2 days left before the birthday of our colleague, Yvonne. What should we do?"
Amy: "I suppose a small party... won't work."
Linda: "I don't know too..."
Valerina: "Guys. Do you remember the beach where we used to go in the summer? Let's get there again and do activites!"
Allyn: "What sort of activities? You mean, wait... volleyball?"
Valerina: "You read my mind. We're still keeping it unused most of the time. Let's bring it to the beach again."
Linda: "Right. We do have interactions and work with our colleagues, but we never went out for relaxation together."
Amy: "Shall we invite our bosses? I've got a nice idea in mind."
Allyn: "For sure! They deserve some time to rest, after much dedication helping people's lives safer. Let's go back and discuss this."

Wolf: "What's it though? I'm curious to know."
Amy puts a volleyball on the table
Amy: "I'd love us to have some fun activities on the beach. We've spent days there, and it was heavenly."
Linda: "Sì sì! You have many great stuffs there, from food stores, markets, to sandy slopes, bright sunlight and most importantly, clean sea water to swim in!"
Linda realizes she's over-excited
Linda: "Oh sorry... it's just that I haven't been to the beach for a very long time."
