MEG : Well, Hello there, Julia Long time no see!
JULIA : Meg! Hi! What a coincidence! I haven't seen you in ages! What are you doing here?
MEG : I just got a new job in the city, so I'm shopping for some clothes. Hey, what do you think of this shirt?
JULIA : Hmm.. Well, you know how much I love blue. See? I've got the same shirt!
MEG: You always did have good taste! What a small world.

language notes
- Well, hello there... Notice the emphasis on "hello." which shows that Meg did not expect to see Julia.
- Long time, no see! This is common expression used to say hello to someone you haven't in a long time.
- What a ____! This exclamation shows a great degree of surprise, joy, disappointment, etc. (What a surprise to see you here! What a joy to have you with us! What a shame that you have to leave so soon! What a wonderful idea that is!)
- You always did have good taste! Notice the stress on "did", which Meg uses to emphasize the fact Julia DOES have good taste! Meg says it in a joking way because Julia likes the same thing that she does.
- What a small world is a common expression used to describe a change meeting or other such coincidence.
