Q: W: Well, there are too many problems. For example, when a film is popular, the cinema is rather crowded. M: Is that all? W: No, the worst is the people - children running up and down, people chatting endlessly, and so on. So, I'd rather stay home and wait to see the films when they are shown on TV. M: Then you may see the films a bit later than other people. W: Yes, but I'll be more comfortable in the quietness of my living room. M: Well, I prefer seeing films at the cinema as soon as they come out. What was said before this conversation?

Q: M: Well, it's not my fault! What did you do with it when you got it home? W: I just plugged it in and turned it on. M: Well, it was working fine when you took it... when you left here. W: Well, I think the least you people can do is to come over and adjust it for me, and make sure the thing's working all right. M: Well, I wouldn't mind doing that. Or you could bring it here and I'll have a look at it. But you bought a second-hand TV and there's only a... two-day warranty on it. W: Second-hand? Second-hand?! That thing was supposed to be new! Your salesman told me it was brand new. M: Well, I can't be responsible for that. What was said before this conversation?
A: W: Hey, I'm a little bit upset about that television you people sold me. I got it home and the thing doesn't work! The lines.., the... there're lines all over the picture! I'm just not satisfied. I'd like to have my money back, or give me a new television.
