The answer is:
M: When did you see the American film?
input question: W: Sorry, but I usually go to the cafeteria and review them. Why not copy them in the library? M: OK. W: Here you are. M: You are a great help, Maggie. W: I don't quite understand a why you need my notes, Mark? You haven't missed any classes. M: To be honest, I work in supermarket from 7 to 10 o'clock every evening. W: I see. So you're pretty tired when you come to class. M: That's exactly why I want to borrow your notes. My notes aren't very good. W: So what do you usually do in class? M: I'm always awake at the beginning, but thirty minutes after class begins I feel sleepy and have trouble keeping my eyes open. W: Well, I need someone to study with and you need someone to keep you awake. Can we be study partners? M: Oh sure. That's a good idea. So give me a push when you see me sleeping in class. W: OK. Let's start today in the library. We are going there anyway and I don't have to go to the cafeteria. M: Sounds good. What was said before this conversation????
output answer: M: Maggie, can I borrow your notes for history? I'll return them tomorrow.
W: Hello, Phil. How are you? M: I'm fine. Where are you headed? W: Oh, I'm on my way home from work. M: I didn't know you had a job. W: Yeah. I work part-time at a supermarket. M: What do you do there? W: I work in the produce section. Wrapping fresh fruit and vegetables. I also stock shelves. Sometimes when it really gets busy, I work at the check-out counter. Have you got a job, Phil? M: Yeah. I do yard work for people. You know, cutting grass, pulling weeds, things like that. W: I'd like doing that. It must be nice to work outdoors. M: Sometimes it is, except when it rains or snows or gets too hot or too cold or... W: Ha-ha. I guess every job has its shortcomings. There are times when I get really tired of carrying things around at my job. But a job's a job. Got to earn money for school. M: Me, too. Tuition fee is high, isn't it? Well, I'd better get going. I've got to plant some trees for my neighbors this afternoon. W: Well. Don't work too hard. Holding down a job, going to class, studying. Sometimes it can become too much for one person. Take it easy. M: You, too. It was great seeing you, Mary. What was said before this conversation?

Answer: M: Hi, Mary!
Q: W: Yes, please. I'm Mrs. Browning calling from room 203. M: Yes, Madam. What can I do for you? W: I'm not clear about the checkout time. I mean how soon do I have to leave my room? M: Normally it's by 12 noon on the day when you'll leave. W: Oh, dear. M: Is there a problem, Madam? W: Well, you see, my plane takes off at 5 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Can I keep the room a bit longer? M: I see. Which room are you in, Madam? W: Room 203, the name is Browning. M: Ah yes, Mrs. Browning. You may keep your room till 2 p.m., if you wish. W: Oh, you are so kind. Thank you very much. M: My pleasure. What was said before this conversation?
A: M: Reception. Can I help you?
Question: B: Then you'd better hurry. It closes at noon on Sundays. A: Oh! I should have gone there on Saturday. What was said before this conversation?
Answer: A: I won't have anything to wear to work on Monday unless I pick up my clothes at the dry cleaner's.
Please answer this: M: Hmm, uh, are you trying to say that it presents a health hazard? W: Yes, I am. The head technician in the lab tried to persuade the hospital administration to replace it, but they are trying to cut costs. M: You are pregnant, aren't you? W: Yes, I am. I made an effort to get my supervisor to transfer me to another department, but he urged me not to complain too loudly. Because the administration is more likely to replace me than an X-ray equipment, I'm afraid to refuse to work. But I'm more afraid to expose my unborn child to the radiation. M: I see what you mean. Well, as your union representative, I have to warn you that it would take quite a while to force management to replace the old machines and attempt to get you transferred may or may not be successful. W: Oh, what am I supposed to do then? M: Workers have the legal right to refuse certain unsafe work assignments under two federal laws, the Occupation or Safety and Health Act and the National Labor Relations Act. But the requirements of either of the Acts may be difficult to meet. W: Do you think I have a good case? M: If you do lose your job, the union will fight to get it back for you along with back pay, your lost income. But you have to be prepared for a long wait, maybe after two years.

Answer:
W: I don't know what to do. I can't seem to get anyone in the hospital to listen to my complaints and this outdated equipment is dangerous. Just look at it.
