That shirt, is that shirt appropriate? [She tips her head as discretely as she knows how towards a billboard on which a woman in shirt, sleeveless and mandarin-collared, is sampling food from a nearby restaurant with every evidence of ecstasy.

That shirt would be appropriate, yes. [He looks out at the billboard.]

...I don't suppose the food is, though, from the advertisement.

[She is wondering why she puts up with you, sir.
