Smoothie

Neil:	Hello and welcome to The English We Speak, I'm Neil.
Li:	And I'm Li. Neil what are you drinking? Whatever it is, it sounds very refreshing.
Neil:	Ah yes it is, Li. It's so fruity and refreshing.
Li:	What kind of juice is it?
Neil:	Oh it's not juice, it's a smoothie.
Li:	A smoothie?
Neil:	Yeah, a smoothie. The fruit is blended rather than squeezed.
Li:	Oh I see. A smoothie is a fruit drink made from blended fruit rather than squeezed fruit.
Neil:	And it sometimes has ice, ice cream or yoghurt in it too. Try it Li.
Li:	Oh thank you. Oh it's delicious.
Neil:	How would you describe the texture?
Li:	Well, it's very thick and ... smooth.
Neil:	Exactly. And that's where the name comes from.
Li:	It's called a smoothie because its texture is smooth.
	A: Right, who wants a drink? I fancy a cup of coffee. B: Yeah but it's way too hot for coffee. Can I have one of those smoothies? A: Oh that's an idea. I think I'll have one too, if I have enough money.
Neil:	Well, it's all gone now.
Li:	Oh that's a shame.
Neil:	Yes ... No more smoothie ... Shame ...
Li:	Oh well.
Neil:	(Pause) Li, have you had your hair done? It really suits you.
Li:	Oh thanks, Neil.
Neil:	No, really. It suits your face. Actually, you're looking great at the moment. I like that outfit.
Li:	Oh Neil ...
Neil:	I'd really love another smoothie, but I've just run out of money.
Li:	Don't worry, I'll get you one.
Neil:	Oh thanks! I can be such a smoothie sometimes ...
Li:	Yes you can ... Smoothie is not just a word for a drink.
Neil:	That's right. It's also an adjective describing a man who can persuade people to do things for him by being charming.
Li:	I wondered why he was paying me so many compliments.
Neil:	A smoothie for the smoothie, please Li.
Li:	OK, OK ...
