– So, have you ever considered entering a talent contest?
– Why do you ask?
– Well, they are very popular nowadays. Especially on TV. Saturday nights seem devoted to shows involving hopeful amateurs trying to become famous, or even minor celebrities seeking to revitalise a sagging career. It seems all you need is a modest degree of talent in singing, or ballroom dancing, or just about anything, really.
– And you thought I seemed a likely contestant?
– You must be good at something. It could turn out to be a lucrative new career.
– I am flattered you think I have the makings of a future star, but I am not sure what to suggest: I can't think of any particularly distinguishing talent I have.
– It was only an idea. I thought it might lead to a life-changing moment, with you becoming an overnight success and gaining immeasurable wealth.
– Do you think it is possible?
– Maybe, although I'm thinking I might have a go myself. If so, you would stand no chance.
