Q: M: Is anything wrong, Madam? W: I'm afraid there is. The service here has been terrible. We had to wait twenty minutes for a glass of mineral water. M: I see. Well I'm sorry to hear that. The trouble is that we're a bit sort of hands at present. Two waitresses are ill. W: All right, but that's no excuse. My husband asked for goose and he was brought chicken instead. It's just unbelievable! And my beans weren't cooked properly. It wasn't a very enjoyable meal at all. M: This is most regrettable. W: Look at this bill. We've been overcharged. We only had one dessert, not two. Can you check the bill again, please? M: I do apologize, Madam. W: I'm afraid I'm not going to pay the service charge, or give a tip, as I don't feel satisfied with it. I'm quite disappointed as a matter of fact. M: I'll pass on your complaints to the manager right away. W: Thank you. What was said before this conversation?
A: W: Waiter! I'd like to speak to the manager please... immediately if possible.

Q: W: Do what? M: You know what I am taking about. Why did you go and tell Mrs. Wallace how much money I am going to make? Now she will go and tell the whole world! W: Well, I am sorry, Paul. M: Yeah, but you know she talks to everybody and their brothers. W: Well, I apologize. I guess I wasn't thinking. I got all excited. M: Oh, well, it's done now. I guess it doesn't matter that much, anyway. They will know in the end. Everyone in this town got a big nose. W: You know, it is really a lot of money for a first job...

A: M: Aw, Jane! What did you have to go and do that for?

Q: M: Yes, many American people do think so, and they feel proud of Lincoln. He rose from the lowest to the highest position in the United States. W: DO you know how he was killed? M: Yes. It was on April 14, 1865. After a very busy day, Lincoln and his wife went to see a play at a theatre in Washington. A 25-year-old man, who was from the South, suddenly shot Lincoln through the head. W: Did he die immediately when he was shot? M: No, he didn't. He died early the next morning in the hospital. What was said before this conversation?
A: W: It's well known that Abraham Lincoln was the greatest American, you know.

Q: M: Wow. Looks as if the party is going strong. W: Yeah. And they're eating all my food. Oh, I'd like you to meet my sister, Carol. She's visiting for the weekend. M: Oh. Which one is she? W: She's sitting on the sofa over there. M: You mean the woman with long black hair? W: That's right. Let me introduce her to you. You're very similar people, both so friendly and adventurous. M: And who's the man sitting next to her? Uh, the man wearing the jacket. W: Oh, that's Bob, my ballet teacher. M: Ballet teacher! I never knew you were into ballet. W: I started about two months ago. Come on. I'd like you to meet them. M: I'm coming. What was said before this conversation?

W: Hi, Dave. Nice of you to take the trouble to get here. Come in.
