Adriana: Shhh, I’m trying to listen to the radio.
Ralph: How can you listen to that radio station? All of their Deejays have such funny voices.
Adriana: That’s precisely why I like it. Take this guy, Kevin. He has a Deep, Husky voice that I find really Sexy.
Ralph: This guy? His voice is so Monotone that it Lulls me to sleep every time I hear it.
Adriana: Well, if you don’t like his voice, how about his Sidekick, Lisa May? Her voice is Music to my ears.
Ralph: She has a nice Lilt in her voice, but it’s so High-pitched and Squeaky. It can really be Grating to listen to her for more than a few minutes.
Adriana: Okay, if you don’t like their voices, what kind of voices do you like?
Ralph: I like a Gravelly voice, speaking softly and saying…
Adriana: I’m not talking about your Fantasies. I don’t want to know anything about those!
