B: Not much, just the usual. Why do you ask?

A: Well, there's this thing about these two guys getting arrested by the cops!
B: Oh really? Who are they and what did they do?

A: One's a British guy named Kim Tung Nguyen and the other is an American, Jason Raymond Scott. They got busted for smuggling drugs into Japan.
