Neighbor: Listen. Even though the trees are in your yard, some of the branches hang over into mine, and I am getting sick and tired of raking up your leaves and picking up all the branches that fall off during storms throughout the year. And the walnuts off this tree ... they litter my yard and damage my lawnmower when I cut the grass. And my dog eats them, and he ends up with terrible diarrhea. Man: Still. You can't cut off those branches. Neighbor: Watch me. It's completely legal. I check the city code and law regarding this issue, and I am well within my rights. Man: I'm not sure about that. Anyway, It's just not right. You didn't say anything to us about it ... Neighbor: I don't have to. Man: Yeah, but you could have said something. Anything! I mean I want to stay on friendly terms with you, but the basic courtesy of informing your neighbors is the least you could have done. Neighbor: Okay. I'm cutting down your branches. You've been informed ... now, stand back! Man: Hey. Don't expect an invitation to our next barbecue or book club! Neighbor: See if I care. Hey, what are you doing? Stop shaking the ladder. You're acting juvenile now. Help! What was said before this conversation?

Answer: Man: Hey, hey, neighbor. What are you doing with my trees? My wife planted that tree 25 years ago. Get off that ladder.
Q: W: Thank you, Brian. It's great to be here. M: OK, so tell us about this new toy. W: Well, it's similar to a relaxation ball in its function, but it's useful for anyone who has problems focusing. M: So, how does it work? W: It's about the size of a cookie, and it has three small round parts that can move in any direction. Basically, you just hold it in between your thumb and middle finger and spin it. That's it. M: That's it? W: Yeah. It's very popular not only with children, but with adults as well. M: A professor at MIT by the name of Jill Meanley has publicly stated there is no scientific or medical evidence for your claims about its benefits. Many schools also have banned the toy, saying it leads to a lack of focus in the classroom. W: Well, that professor is allowed to have her opinion. M: Fair enough. And who invented it? W: Catherine Hettinger, a chemical engineer, was first believed to be its creator, but then we found that an IT professional named Scott McCoskery was the actual inventor. M: It's time for a commercial break. More with Margaret Seabrook in a moment. What was said before this conversation?
A: M: I'm here with Margaret Seabrook, the CEO of Creative Toys. In today's show, we're going to discuss the hottest new toy of 2018: the Super Spinner. Margaret, welcome!
Question: W: Pay phone? Why not use my mobile phone? Here you are. What was said before this conversation?
Answer: M: Hi, Jane, do you have some change? I have to make a call on the pay phone.
[Q]: W: Well, it never comes when I call it. It spills its food and sheds all over the place. I can't wait till John gets back. What was said before this conversation?

[A]: M: I hear John left his cat in your care while he's on vacation abroad. How are you getting along with it?
input: Please answer the following: Andrew: What? What's going on? Andrew's Sister: What happened to YOU? Andrew: You mean my hair? You like my hair? Andrew's Sister: Uh, I think you know what I mean, Andrew. Do you want me to be honest? [ What? ] Okay. Andrew. You've put on, like, a ton of weight since I saw you at Christmas time. What on earth happened to you? Andrew: Why are you always so blunt? Andrew's Sister: Well, I'm your big sister. I'm ... what am I? Three years older than you, and I can be blunt if I want. Besides, you used to say stuff like that to me all of the time. You used to call me fatso all the time when I was little. Andrew: Oh, yeah, well, to be honest, uh ..., I started changing my life .... yesterday. [ Oh good! ] I'm on the Wafu Diet. Andrew's Sister: What? I've never even heard of the Wafu Diet. What is that? Andrew: Ah, it's too difficult to explain. I found information about it in my junk mail the other day ... Andrew's Sister: What? You read your junk mail? No one reads their junk mail. Andrew: ... and I signed up for it, and it only cost $490. Andrew's Sister: You're serious? [ Yeah. ] Four hundred and ninety bucks? [ Yeah. ] Like every month or every week or ...? Andrew: I didn't check that ... ah, ah, but, but, but, but ... I think ... Andrew's Sister: Listen. I think you're getting scammed, and it sounds really stupid, so listen. I'm not fat anymore, so trust me. I ... if you want to lose weight, you need to do it the right way. Andrew: Well, like what? Andrew's Sister: Well, okay. Andrew: Okay, uh, well, look. Look at my running shoes over there. Andrew's Sister: Andrew. They're still in the box. ( Well ... ). Never used. Besides exercise, yeah, exercise is wonderful. It's great, but you also need to learn how to eat right. For example, you need to eat smaller portions. And, and you can't load up your plate with seconds and thirds like you always used to do at the family parties. Andrew: Well, okay. I'll just get a bigger plate! Andrew's Sister: Andrew! That won't help. Next [ Oh, next? ]. Oh... What was said before this conversation?
