Richard： Thank you for seeing me on such short notice.
Carlson： I hope you've brought your pictures along. I see that you have. Let's get right to it. We need a new coffee table book, and a book of photos about the United States still feels right. OK, let's take a look. Good. Very good. Family Album, U.S.A. It's an excellent title. If you had to describe the book in one sentence, how would you do it？
Richard： Well, I'd describe it as a book which is a a portrait of the United States-the places, the people-mostly the people. The things they do, the ways they live, the placesd they visit, and the landmarks1. A photographic journey.
Carlson： These are wonderful-these photos in your pen arts section. Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center.
Richard： I'm glad you like them.
Carlson： I do, but
Richard： But？
Carlson： There's something missing2. You've got a good eye, Richard. You're a terrific3 photographer. But before I can publish your work. I need to meet with my marketing4 department, and you've got to do one more thing.
Richard： What's that, Mr. Carlson？
Carlson： In the section on culture, you've included performing arts centers, but you've left out street performance.The mimes5. The musicians. The dancers-in the parks and on the streets. Richard, if you go out and photograph street performances in the city, you'll have it.
Richard： That is a great ieda.The performing arts centers and the street performances. I'll do it.
Carlson： If you do it, I'll publish your work.
Richard： Are you serious？
Carlson： I've never been more serious. When do you think you can return with street performances？
Richard： A couple of weeks.
Carlson： If they're as good as the rest of these pictures, it's a deal.
Richard： You won't be disappointed, Mr.Carlson. Thanks.
Carlson： Good-bye, Richard, and good luck. See you in two weeks.
Richard： Good-bye, Mr. Carlson. Thanks. So if you like the street-performance photos, you'll really publish Family Album, U.S.A.？
Carlson： When I way something, I mean it. Go to work. Goodbye.
Richard： Good-bye.
