Below are conversations between A and B(A and B are strangers who met in a rural restaurant).

A: Hey there, sweet thang. Ain't seen you roun' these parts before.
B: No. My husband and I are just... you know, passing through.
A: Yep, I know how that is, all right - y'all seen hoot, n now you're on your way to holler. That about the size of it?
