TASK DEFINITION: Given the prompt and a response, classify the them to "yes" if response is "yes, and" type. Otherwise classify it as "no". "Yes, and" is a rule-of-thumb in improvisational comedy that suggests that a participant in a dialogue should accept what another participant has stated ("Yes") and then expand on that line of thought or context ("and..."). 1 In short, a "Yes, and" is a dialogue exchange in which a speaker responds by adding new information on top of the information/setting that was constructed by another speaker. Note that a "Yes, and" does not require someone explicitly saying 'yes, and...' as part of a dialogue exchange, although it could be the case if it agrees with the description above. There are many ways in which a response could implicitly/explicitly agree to the prompt without specifically saying 'yes, and...'. 
PROBLEM: Prompt: We're gonna be, I guess, going back out in the world after the show is done in an hour. It's 5AM now, so we'll be back out on the street around eight, I guess. 
 Response: Yes and then I have to go directly home. I can't dilly dally. So don't get any ideas, both of you.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Prompt: So what, you're going to put the lids back on the tubs?

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Prompt: Is that the people that took our tickets scrunched down in the seats?

SOLUTION:
no
