[00:00.00]Lesson 13  The Perfect Match (Part 2)
[00:07.90]  There didn't seem to be anything to add to our talk.
[00:12.48]Everything was on the cards.
[00:16.18]  "How about children?" she asked.
[00:19.66]  "There.Two boys and a girl."
[00:23.33]  "That's exactly what I want."she said.
[00:27.31]"It's written under 'Family Planning'.
[00:31.30]It's on that page there."
[00:34.58]  I suddenly noticed the papers 1 in my hand.
[00:38.76]It was the facts about her.
[00:42.24]I guessed that the papers she was holding told facts about me.
[00:47.74]I began looking through the papers I had.
[00:52.03]She did the same.Turning the pages made a lot of noise.
[00:57.53]I read under 'Habits' that she liked light music.
[01:02.52]"You like light music?"I asked her.
[01:06.41]  "Well--better than anything else."
[01:10.20]  "That's great!"
[01:13.06]I went on looking through the papers,and so did she.
[01:17.64]She liked books,basketball,sitting near the front at cinemas,
[01:23.64]going to church on Sundays,sleeping with the windows shut,
[01:29.14]having milk,bread and butter for breakfast,
[01:33.31]potato cakes,vegetables and tea for supper,
[01:37.90]wearing jackets,trousers and other plain clothes,
[01:42.89]going camping,hunting and rowing,
[01:46.97]living in the country,art museums and exhibitions.
[01:52.46]  She looked up. "It seems we like the same things."
[01:58.06]  "Exactly the same things," I said.
[02:02.06]  "I'm glad you don't drink or smoke." she said.
[02:06.36]  "I don't.I don't like to.
[02:10.25]  Sometimes I have beer,though."
[02:13.94]  "It doesn't say so here."
[02:17.45]  "Well,maybe I forgot to write it down."I hope she didn't mind.
[02:23.45]  we finished reading the reports on each other.
[02:27.65]  "We're very much alike,"she said.
[02:31.54]  Alice and I have been married for one year now.
[02:35.93]We live in the country,listen to a lot of music,
[02:40.73]go hunting and camping quite a number of times.
[02:45.22]We agree on practically 2 everything.
[02:49.49]She's been a good wife,and ,
[02:53.06]if I may say so,I've been a good hushand.
[02:57.65]In this sense,our marriage is perfect.
[03:01.63]But we know it's impossible for us to go on liveing like this any longer,
[03:08.23]because we often feel something missing 3 between us.
[03:13.03]Probably it is the very thing that failed to influence the computer when it made the decision.
[03:20.62]We're bound 4 to separate 5 and say good-bye to each otehr sooner or later.
