In the picture, I see two people. One person is sitting at a desk, and the other person is standing near a window. The person sitting at the desk is wearing a red shirt and is writing on a piece of paper. The person standing near the window is wearing a blue shirt and is talking on a phone.

Now, let's start the dialogue.
