input: Please answer the following: Woman: So, you can't come to get me? Man: No, uh, sorry. Woman: Uh, well, um, what does your brother look like? Man: Well, he's fairly tall, he has short light brown hair, and he's pretty thin. He's certainly not a body builder or pro wrestler. Woman: Okay. Um, what else? Man: Oh, and he usually wears a white baseball cap with crazy looking red shoes. I mean, you can't miss him. Woman: Alright. So, I'm looking for some tall crazy looking guy with wild red shoes who's ready to play baseball? Man: Exactly. Woman: And what's his name? Man: Well, uh, Mike, Michael. He goes by either one. Woman: Alright. Man: Alright. Bye. Woman: (I) Hope he shows up? Man: Okay, now, I'll call him. Woman: Alright, bye. Man: Bye. What was said before this conversation?

The answer is:
M: Today's the last day that Harry Potter is on. We planned to go and see it after school.
Problem: W: What is it, John? Another term paper? M: No, no. This is easy compared to that. My cousin is coming on Thursday. She has an interview at the college and I promised my aunt that I'll look after her. We are going to the game on Friday, but Saturday I'm on duty at the library all day and can't get out of it. Uh, I was wondering if you could show her around during the day and maybe we can all meet for dinner later. W: Sure. I don't have any plans. What kind of things does she like to do? M: Actually I haven't seen her for three years. She lives so far away. But this will be her first time on a college campus, she is still in high school. So she probably enjoys anything on campus. W: Well, there is a music festival in the auditorium. That's a possibility. Only I hope it doesn't snow. M: Well, I'll plan on dropping her off at your place on the way to work, around eleven. But if there is a blizzard, I'll give you a call and see if we can figure something else out. W: Sounds good. Meantime I'll keep Saturday open. We can touch base Friday night when we have a better idea of the forecast. M: I hope this works out. I feel kind of responsible. She won't know a way around. And I want her to have a good time. Anyway I really appreciate your help. I owe you one. W: No problem. I'll talk to you tomorrow. What was said before this conversation?
