Dialogue: Man: Hey. Can you give me a hand with the groceries? And I told you I could do the shopping. Woman: Wow! Do we really need all this stuff? Let me see that receipt. Man: Hey, I only bought the essentials. Woman: Okay. Let's see. Dog food. Twenty-four dollars and seventy cents ($24.70)? We don't even have a dog! Man: Well, it WAS going to be a surprise, but look in the back of the truck. Woman: What? Man: Ah, ha, hah. Speechless. I knew you'd love him. Woman: That thing? That dog's as big as a horse. He probably eats like one, too. Man: Ah, but he's sure friendly. And someone was giving him away at the supermarket, and I... I... I couldn't let that poor thing pass another day without a loving home. Woman: Whatever. Where was I? Eighteen dollars and nineteen cents ($18.19) for twenty-four cans of tomato juice? You don't even like that stuff! Man: Ahhhh. Not yet. I've decided to change my eating habits. Woman: Right. Man: You'll see, you'll see. Woman: Okay. Let's see. Three eighty-four ($3.84) for a box of chocolate cookies and twelve fifty-six ($12.56) for a case of soft drinks. [Yeah!] Changing your eating habits, huh? Do you really think that cookies are some type of diet food? Man: Hey, I'll just eat a cookie or two every other hour. In fact, they're a great source of carbohydrates for energy. And, you see, the tomato juice and cookies kind of, you know, cancel each other out. Woman: Oh brother. I can't believe what I'm hearing. Let's see. Where was I? A carton of eggs, two fifty ($2.50) for a gallon of milk, three cans of tuna. Okay. [Yeah.] And finally two steaks for eight fourteen ($8.14). Now, something worth enjoying. I'll get the grill started. Man: Oh, we... w... well. The steaks are for Herbert. Woman: Herbert. Who's Herbert? Man: Uh, he's the dog. [No!] You see, the previous owner said that he's kind of... he's somewhat picky about what he eats, [No!], and the steaks might help him adjust [Absolutely not!].... no, no, no, and the steaks might help him adjust to his new home. Hey,... Question: Which item did the man NOT buy? - a package of cookies - some cans of tuna - a carton of orange juice

Dialogue: M: Good morning, Mrs. Wong. How are you? I haven't seen you around the building for the last couple of weeks. Is everything alright? W: Morning, Mr. Jones. No, I haven't been out much recently. I've been feeling a bit under the weather. M: I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you don't mind me saying, but you don't look very well. Your face is very pale. Perhaps you need some fresh air to bring the color back to your cheeks. It's a lovely day outside today. W: That's just what I thought. I'm going to go for a walk in the park and then pop into the supermarket. M: You look as if you've lost weight as well. W: I haven't been eating like I usually do. Usually, I love my food, but these last two weeks I just haven't felt cooking and I've eaten very little. Most unlike me. M: Have you been to the doctor? What did she say?
