That would have been your third speeding ticket this year." ]

[ "Hey how's it going, my dog cam doesn't seem to be working.", "I've never used one, so wouldn't know how to help you there.", "Perhaps, it's the batteries, I know it's not the app. I have to film this vlog soon, but need to head back to the hotel first.", "Yeah, check the batteries, it could be the reason." ]

I'm afraid my dog did something.", "Maybe there's a glitch with the app.", "No, the app is fine. There's no live feed. Something happened to the dog cam itself. It is showing it offline.", "Maybe your dog ate it. He got sick of being spied on constantly." ]

[ "I need an assistant to help me proofread documents.", "That can be very tedious work.", "Before the meeting today I spent an hour proofreading and only found one word out of place.", "That's a lot of effort to fix one little word.", "It took about five seconds to select the out of place word but over an hour to find it.", "You should really look into getting an assistant to help you do that from now on." ]

[ "The kids weren't really paying attention in class today.", "Why weren't they paying attention?", "Some new video online or video game, I couldn't really tell.

[ "I'm really worried about how I did on the math test I took this afternoon.", "Didn't you study for it?", "Not really. I tried to do all my studying at the last minute.", "So do you think you'll get a decent grade?", "I have no idea. I tried really hard to pass it.", "Well, considering you didn't really study for it, I'd have to disagree." ]

[ "I was so stupid that I thought I could win her love back.", "I told you that she had already moved on Austin, you have to let it go.", "The flowers, the candy, the money, none of it seemed to matter.

[ "I hate having to judge this singing competition", "Yes, everybody is so good.", "It's not that; it's just that Jan is my friend.", "Well, you shouldn't be judging at all.", "I didn't know that Jan was in it when I volunteered, and I'm the only judge; everybody else dropped out. so I couldn't quit.", "Well, it's too late to pull out now.

[ "I feel so bad about my behaviour the other night at the party", "What did you do?", "I was taking meds and wasn't supposed to drink but it was a party so I drank way too much!", "Oh no, did you cause a scene?", "I think so, I was told I made a spectacle out myself but I don't even remember", "I hope you apologized and learned your lesson!" ]

[ "I feel like absolute crap today. I shouldn't have been drinking last night.", "Did you have too much fun last night?", "I made a fool out of myself so I doubt I was having much fun.", "You didn't drive did you?", "No, I had way too much to drink to drive. Thankfully, someone brought me home." ]

Bless your Mom. Is this the first time he's actually put his hands on her?", "First and last! I took him down with one punch and screamed that he better never lay another finger on her or he'd have to deal with me!", "Good for you standing up to him and for your Mom! You're a brave and good son." ]

[ "I knew that this day would come.", "What day are you talking about?", "The day that I stood up to my abusive father.", "I’m so sorry to hear about your father.", "Don’t be because that man has serious drinking issues.", "Austin, I really hope your father is not too abusive." ]

[ "I stood up to my father yesterday after he's beating us up every day and punched him hard.", "You need to report this. It was self-defense.", "Do you think that it was the best thing to do, you know he was drunk as usual.", "Did you really hurt him?", "He looked fine when I saw him this morning, only got a few bruises, hope he learnt the lesson and won't be abusive anymore." ]
