Mark, I was hoping to hear you sing. You have a good voice.

Oh, didn’t I tell you? I am no good at singing. I can’t carry a tune.

But you have a very musical family. You wife plays piano, your daughter plays the flute…

Well, that’s them not me.

No matter what, I think you have a lot of potential.

Everybody has potential. But at my age, it’s hopeless to try to make me a singer.

I am not giving up on you yet. I’ll give you plenty of opportunities.
