Q: Read the below conversation. Dean: Hey, man. What's up? Tod: Ah, first of all, I put a buck in the vending machine for a seventy-five cent candy bar, and the thing got stuck here in the machine. Then, I pressed the change button [Ah, man], and nothing happened. [Wow!] Nothing came out. The dumb thing still owes me a quarter. Dean: Well, did you talk to the man at the snack bar to see if he could refund your money? Tod: Yeah, I tried that, but he said he didn't own the machine, and I'd have to call the phone number on the machine. Dean: What a bummer. Tod: Hey, I have an idea. [What?] Why don't we rock the machine back and forth until the candy bar falls? Dean: Nothing doing. I don't want to be responsible for breaking the thing, and besides, someone might call the cops. Tod: Ah, don't worry. I've done it before. What would the listener say?
A: Tod: Oh well. Hey, hey, tough luck. Hey, here, take my candy bar. [You mean?] Yeah, the machine and I hit it off earlier today.
[Q]: Read the below conversation. W: Good evening and welcome to this week's Business World, the program for and about business people. Tonight, we have Mr. Steven Kayne, who has just taken over and established bicycle shop. Tell us, Mr. Kayne, what made you want to run yourown store? M: Well, I always loved racing bikes and fixing them. When I was working full-time as a salesman for a big company, I seldom had time to enjoy my hobby. I knew then that as soon as I had enough money to get my own business going, I'll do it. I had my heart set on it and I didn't let anything stand in my way. When I went down to the bank and got a business loan, I knew I'd love being myown boss. Now my time is my own. I open the store when I want and leave when I want. W: You mean you don't keep regular hours? M: Well, the sign on my store says the hours are ten to six, but if business isslower than usual, I can just lock up and take off early. W: Have you hired any employees to work with you yet? M: Yeah, a couple of friends of mine who love biking as much as I do. They help me out a few days a week. It's great because we play cards or just sit around and talk when there are no customers. What would the listener say?
