ELEVATOR WOMAN: JOHN: Once you have
enough small talk with someone, they will eventually become
an acquaintance. To be a successful acquaintance, you will need to have, uh,
broad interests and, uh, relatable flaws. And no matter how awful
your life currently is, you can never reveal this
to another acquaintance. So it requires a bit
of camouflage. You want to seem like someone
who is busy, but also likes to relax. That's why going on vacation
will give you enough ammunition for years' worth of, uh,
encounters. So just go to a travel agency and ask what the most popular
destinations are. I can send you to Punta Cana,
Cancún, Jamaica
