Q: Read the below conversation. Josh: Hey, I hear you and Stephanie are really getting serious. Michael: Yeah, I think she'll be impressed with my new exercise program. Josh: What? What are you talking about? What exercise program? What did you tell her? Michael: Well, you know, I enjoy staying in shape. [Right] First, I generally get up every morning at 5:30 a.m. Josh: Oh, yeah. Since when? You don't roll out of bed until at least 7:30 p.m. Michael: No, no, and on Mondays and Wednesdays, ... Josh: Ah, not another tall tale ... Michael: I almost always go jogging for about a half hour, you know, to improve my endurance. Josh: Hey, jogging to the refrigerator for a glass of milk doesn't count. Michael: Of course, before I leave, I usually make sure I do some stretches so I don't pull a muscle on my run. Josh: Right. One jumping jack. Michael: Then, I told her that I usually lift weights Tuesdays and Thursdays for about an hour after work. Josh: Humph. Michael: This helps me build muscle strength. Josh: A one-pound barbell. Michael: Finally, I often go hiking on Saturdays with my dog [What dog!?], well, and I like hiking because it helps me burn off stress and reduce anxiety that builds up during the week. Josh: Oh yeah, those lies. Michael: Well, uh, as for Fridays, I sometimes just relax at home by watching a movie or inviting you over to visit. Josh: If I buy the pizza. Michael: But ... bu ... And on Sundays, I take the day off from exercising, but I usually take my dog for a walk. What would the listener say?
A: Josh: Forget it. She'll never buy this story.

Q: Read the below conversation. M: Susan, I could really need your help this weekend. W: What is it, John? Another term paper? M: No, no. This is easy compared to that. My cousin is coming on Thursday. She has an interview at the college and I promised my aunt that I'll look after her. We are going to the game on Friday, but Saturday I'm on duty at the library all day and can't get out of it. Uh, I was wondering if you could show her around during the day and maybe we can all meet for dinner later. W: Sure. I don't have any plans. What kind of things does she like to do? M: Actually I haven't seen her for three years. She lives so far away. But this will be her first time on a college campus, she is still in high school. So she probably enjoys anything on campus. W: Well, there is a music festival in the auditorium. That's a possibility. Only I hope it doesn't snow. M: Well, I'll plan on dropping her off at your place on the way to work, around eleven. But if there is a blizzard, I'll give you a call and see if we can figure something else out. W: Sounds good. Meantime I'll keep Saturday open. We can touch base Friday night when we have a better idea of the forecast. M: I hope this works out. I feel kind of responsible. She won't know a way around. And I want her to have a good time. Anyway I really appreciate your help. I owe you one. What would the listener say?
A: W: No problem. I'll talk to you tomorrow.
