(don't forget the subtitles & the text)

Phyllis tells Yoko about her trip to San Francisco.

Yoko: Hi, Phyllis.

Phyllis: Hi, Yoko. How have you been?

Yoko: Oh, fine. How about you?

Phyllis: Great! Just great!

Yoko: So how was your trip to San Francisco?

Phyllis: Fantastic! We really enjoyed it.

Yoko: Well, that doesn't surprise me. I love to visit 
San Francisco. Uh, so, your husband went with you?

Phyllis: Yes. I worked on Friday, and Bill had business to 
do in the city too. 

Yoko: Oh, that's nice. So what did you do over the 
weekend?

Phyllis: We went sightseeing together all day Saturday and 
Sunday morning.

Yoko: Oh, really? Tell me about it.

Phyllis: Well, we did a lot of interesting things. 
Naturally, we started Saturday morning with a ride
on a cable car.

Yoko: Naturally… And then?

Phyllis: Then we went straight to Ghirardelli Square to do 
some shopping.

Yoko: Isn't it wonderful? I went there the last time I 
was in San Francisco.

Phyllis: Oh, it sure is. We were there for a couple of 
hours.

Yoko: Did you buy anything?

Phyllis: Just some postcards and chocolate. We didn't want 
to have too much to carry.

Yoko: What did you do after that?

Phyllis: We had lunch at a crab stand at Fisherman's Wharf.

Yoko: Did you visit Alcatraz Island?

Phyllis: No, we didn't have time.

Yoko: Oh,… what did you do then?

Phyllis: We took a cab to Golden Gate Park.

Yoko: Great! Did you see the Japanese Tea Garden?

Phyllis: Oh, yes, it was really beautiful… But to 
tell the truth, the thing we liked the best was 
Chinatown.

Yoko: Oh, really?

Phyllis: Yes. We went there on Sunday morning.

Yoko: What did you like about Chinatown?

Phyllis: Well,… all the people,… and the 
buildings, the shops, and restaurants… even 
the way the streets look. It was just a fascinating
place. We walked for hours.

Yoko: I know what you mean. It sounds like you really 
had fun.

Phyllis: Oh, we had a great time! So how about you? What 
did you do over the weekend?

Yoko: Oh, nothing much. Well, here we are again.

Phyllis: Oh, back to the real world!

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this is if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
