As I was recently walking around the National Gallery in Canberra, I overheard a woman says to her friend:-
"Damn, I think we should make a pledge tonight..."
I was taken by the possibility of the line. Should play with this as an exercise conversation starter or ending.

Scavenged Fragments of Conversation: Devonshire Tunnel
It's was a Saturday morning and I was walking down Devonshire Tunnel under Central Station in Sydney. I overheard two yound guys walking directly behind me.
I didn't look back but I couldn't help being gripped by the shread of their conversation that floated my way.
1: I told the dude that I wanted a wallet that every time I opened it, there was a crisp clean $50 note - So I could take them out and stack them up in my bedroom!
2. Why only $50 notes?
1. What ?
2. $100's
1. You got to start your dreams somewhere.
2. Modest?
1. Anyhow, the guy looked at me like I'd raped his grandmother or something.
Not long afterwards, in the foyer of Belvoir Street Theatre, a woman carrying a tray of party snacks was heading somewhere - talking, encouraging, reminding herself:-
"Warmily great and effectively engage".
