Ever since I cut back on my working hours to go to school, I've been really strapped for cash.Randall: Oh.Dave: Hey, let me show you the place. Uh, here's the living room.Randall: Oh. It looks like you could use a new carpet ... and those stains?Dave: Well. I've had a few problems with some former roommates. I know it needs to be cleaned, but I just don't have the money to do it right now.Randall: Oh. And what about the kitchen?Dave: Right this way. Look. It's completely furnished with all the latest appliances, except ...Randall: What?Dave: Well, the refrigerator door is broken ... a little bit ... and it won't shut all the way.

It isn't that bad.Randall: Well how about the bathroom?Dave: Well ...Randall: No, no. Don't tell me. The toilet is clogged or the sink has a few leaks.Dave: No, those work fine, but, uh, the tile in the shower needs to be replaced, and the window needs fixing.Randall: Let me see. The tile ... what? The window? Where's the window pane?Dave: Well, that's another slight problem. I've put up a piece of cardboard to keep out the [ Hmmm ] rain and snow, and if it gets a little cold, you can always turn up the heat. Well, you used to until the central heating went out.
