M: Can I have a pound of chicken and two pounds of pork, please? W: Do you want a whole chicken, chicken wings, or some pieces without any bones in them? M: The last one. W: OK. That's $4 a pound, and the pork is going to be $6 in total. Anything else? M: No, that's it. Can I give you a credit card? W: I'm sorry, but the credit card machine is down. So it'll have to be cash or a personal check. M: Good thing. I stopped at an ATM machine on my way over here! What was said before this conversation?

Q: Woman: Yeah. My fingers are numb. Man: So, do you often ski here? Woman: No, this is my first time. Actually, this is my first time skiing ... ever. Man: So, how do you like it so far? Woman: The snow is great [ Yeah ...], but it's too crowded. You know, two people crashed into me on my first run, and some stupid skier was going way too fast ... drove me into some trees. [ Wow! ] I crashed and lost one of my gloves. [ Oh, man. ] Fortunately, I had an extra pair with me. Man: Wow. Well, did the woman stop and apologize? Woman: No, it was a man. I'm certain of it. He just ... he just laughed at me. Why do you think it was a woman, anyway? Man: Uh, well, no reason. I mean, well, you know. Woman: What? You know what? Man: Uh, uh, nothing. Woman: Yeah. You just wait until I find that guy. Man: Uh, well, what are you going to do to him, I mean, if you find him? Woman: First, I'm going to break his skis. [ Oh, well ... ] And then, I'm going to take his picture and post it on Facebook. Man: Uh, don't you think that's a little drastic? Perhaps, it was a simple mistake. And how are you going to identify him anyway? Woman: Oh, that's easy. He was wearing bright red boots and a purple hat ... um, just like yours. Heh, heh, heh ... Man: Now, now, now. Wait, wait! Yeah. What do you mean? [ Yeah ... ] Wait! Why are you looking at me? You don't think it was me, do you? ... Do you like jazz music? What was said before this conversation?
A: Man: Whew! It's pretty cold today.
Question: M: I was just taking a break. What's up? W: We'll have a math test next Monday, so I thought you'd be studying for it and maybe I can study with you. M: But I can't believe you are coming to me. I mean you do know what I got on the last test, don't you? W: Yeah, I know. You told me, but I thought two heads might be better than one. M: Well, that's a nice idea. But I wish I knew the person in our class who got a hundred on the last test. She even didn't miss any question, you know! Umm, was it Elizabeth? W: Oh yeah, Elizabeth! She is a good friend of mine. I think she'd be a big help to us right now. Why don't we give her a call? M: What? At this hour? It's already ten thirty. It's too late. W: But you know she owes me a big favor. Let's at least give her a call and see what she says. Maybe going over some of the problems with us would also help her review the material. M: You're right. Anyway, it's worth a try. What was said before this conversation?
Answer: W: Hello, Frank. Your roommate told me that I could find you here in the TV studio. Sure enough!
[Q]: W: Nope. My foot is broken. I stay at home. So I did it myself. M: With a broken foot? Was that a good idea? W: Don't worry, Dave. M: You could have called Brenda. She would have done it for you. W: I'm not asking your little sister to clean my floors, Dave. Anyway, it wasn't as hard as you think. I have been using a Roomba recently. M: Oh, that cleaning robot? I'm jealous, Sandra. I wanted one, but I didn't have 500 extra dollars. W: I know. They're so expensive. I got mine from my boss when I was Employee of the Year two years ago.

[A]: M: The floor looks super clean. Did you call the cleaning company?
input: Please answer the following: W: No, not yet. But I think I'm going to take up singing. M: Any special reasons? W: Yes. It's because I am good at singing songs. All my classmates say so. Besides, singing is quite interesting and you can meet a lot of people. M: And you will have to please them too. W: Well, you do in any job, don't you? M: And what do your parents think about it? W: They don't quite agree with my idea. That is the only trouble. M: Have they got any other plans for you, then? W: Yes, um...they're trying to send me to an art college because they want me to be an actress. M: Then what will you do? W: Er...I haven't decided yet. But I usually get my own way in the end.
