[Q]: W: If I were you, I'd skip it. We both have to get up early tomorrow, and anyway, I've heard it isn't that exciting. What was said before this conversation?

[A]: M: I'm really exhausted, but I don't want to miss the film that comes on at 11.

[Q]: W: Oh, sorry to miss you. But my thirst for knowledge was greater than my stomach for food. M: I never have that problem. So where were you? W: My science class ran over. What was said before this conversation?

[A]: M: Hi, Susan, Where were you at lunch time?

[Q]: M: OK. I won't do anything against your wishes. What was said before this conversation?

[A]: W: This is my house. You can't do anything against my wishes. You can't put your feet on my chairs. You can't stay out late at night. You can't ask friends to dinner in the house. You must pay me at the beginning of every month but not at the end.

[Q]: M: I did just buy a car, but it's not exactly a new one-it was made back in the 1950s. Here, take a look at this photo. W: You are right. This car hasn't been new for a long time. Couldn't you afford a newer car? M: Believe it or not, this car costs almost as much as a new one. W: Really? How could it be? M: Well, a lot of cars from the 40s, 50s and 60s have become collectors' items and are worth a lot of money. W: But this one doesn't seem to be in very good shape. M: The engine is still in good condition. I plan to fix up the interior and paint the car myself. Then it will be worth even more money. W: So then you'll resell it? M: No, I don't plan to resell it, but I might enter it in some classical auto shows. Maybe I'll win a prize. What was said before this conversation?
