documents: #Person1#: I think I'm going to go home.
  #Person2#: Why? We just got here.
  #Person1#: I know, but it's over 12!
  #Person2#: 12? What do you mean?
  #Person1#: Look at the time. Three or four o'clock?
  #Person2#: Yes.
  #Person1#: I never stay out that late. That's too late.
  #Person2#: But why is it too late? It's Saturday night. You have nothing to do tomorrow. Why not stay out and drink with us?
  #Person1#: Were you so wild when you were still in Taipei, Sharon?
  #Person2#: Yes, I was. And I like living here. People know how to party here. In Taipei, some people know how to party. But here, everyone does.
  #Person1#: What is that they're doing on the couch?
  #Person2#: They're smoking pot. Don't worry about it.
  #Person1#: Pot? Isn't that marijuana?
  #Person2#: Yes, it is.
  #Person1#: But, Sharon, that's illegal! The police could come, and we could go to jail.
  #Person2#: Don't worry about it. It is true that pot is illegal in America. But the laws aren't as strict as in Taiwan. If people are arrested, and they have a little pot in their possession, they don't go to jail. They just have to pay a fine.
  #Person1#: Really?
  #Person2#: Yes.
  #Person1#: I didn't know you had such wild friends. Do you smoke marijuana too?
  #Person2#: I tried it a couple times. But I don't like it. I like alcohol better. Don't worry about them, though. If you don't want to smoke pot, you don't have to.
  #Person1#: I don't want to.
  #Person2#: That's alright. But you really should have another drink. People will probably start dancing soon.
  #Person1#: I don't know if I can drink more. I already had two drinks.
  #Person2#: You had two drinks at nine o'clock. C'mon, Ann, you are in an American university now! You have to learn how to drink.
  #Person1#: I thought a university was for studying.
  #Person2#: It is. We study hard all week. And then, on the weekend, we party hard. That's the best way to live.
  #Person1#: Alright. I'll have another drink.
