Анекдот - Завяжем разговор

«Would you like a cigar? (не желаете ли сигару)»
«No. Don't smoke (не курю). Tried tobacco once and I didn't like it.»
«Would you like to join me in a game of gin rummy? (не хотите присоединиться ко мне в карточной игре)»
«No. Don't like card games. Tried it once, and I didn't like it.
However (однако), my son will be dropping in after a bit (заглянет через некоторое время). Perhaps (может быть) he will join you.»
The first man settled back in his chair (откинулся в своем кресле; to settle — усаживаться, устраиваться) and said, «Your only son, I presume? (ваш единственный сын, я полагаю)»

  "No," said the man coolly, "Don't drink. Tried it once and I didn't like it."
  "Would you like a cigar?"
  "No. Don't smoke. Tried tobacco once and I didn't like it."
  "Would you like to join me in a game of gin rummy?"
  "No. Don't like card games. Tried it once, and I didn't like it.
