W: Well, it is pretty cold for much of the year. But during the summer, it's just as warm as it is in states like Washington and Oregon. M: Interesting. The days are really long right now.

As a California native, I wouldn't be able to handle that for more than one season! W: I guess I'm used to it.

Huh, by the way, my wife and I are going out of town this weekend, and I was wondering if you could take care of some of our animals while we're gone. You know our dog, Jaws, don't you? Shawn: Yeah. My leg still hurts from the last incident. Norman: Hey, he's just a playful little beast. Shawn: Right. Norman: Hey, he likes to bark a little, and his bark is worse than his bite. Shawn: Oh yeah. Norman: Just feed him a can of dog food a day, and make sure he has plenty of water in his dish. [Oh] And then, take him for a walk around the block. Shawn: Well, how about if I just throw a Frisbee over the fence to give him some exercise? Wouldn't that work?

Norman: Well, and then there's Claws. Shawn: Claws? Who's Claws. Norman: Oh, he's the cat we adopted from the animal shelter, but he's a little temperamental. Shawn: What do you mean "temperamental"? Norman: Well, he has mood swings [Mood swings?], but he's been doing better since he's been going to the animal therapist. Shawn: A therapist? Norman: So, be sure to feed him a half cup of cat food two times a day [What? A therapist ...], and don't forget to put out (on) some soft classical music during his nap time at 2:40 p.m. But don't let him out of the house because he might run away and chase the neighbor's dog. Shawn: You have some high-maintenance animals. Norman: Not really. And, don't forget to change the cat litter daily, or he might have an accident on the carpet.

Read the following conversation and answer the question. Ashley: Ryan. I just want you to know that I'm going to go to school to become an auto mechanic. Ryan: Uh what? Does Dad know about this? Ashley: Who cares? It's my life. I really enjoy working on cars. Ryan: Oh, I get it. You want to study auto mechanics because of your new boyfriend. What's his name? Jimmy or something? Listen, auto mechanics is a man's job. Ashley: No, you got it all wrong. [What?] First of all, his name is James, and second, he doesn't work at an auto shop anymore. He had a job there for five years, and he really liked his job because he learned how to identify problems and fix things. You, on the other hand, can't even change the toilet paper roll in the bathroom. Ryan: Hey, that's not fair. Ashley: And James is now back in college. He's majoring in nursing. Ryan: Nursing? Nursing? That's a woman's job? Ashley: I cannot believe I'm hearing this. A man can be a nurse, and they can do the job just as well as anybody else.

Ryan: Well, most men do those jobs, so ... Anyway, women can do them if they want. I just think that women are better suited to be secretaries, waitresses, piano teachers. You know. Ashley: Man, you're stuck in the 18th century. No one will marry you. Ryan: Oh, well, just forget this. But not to change the subject, but I'm having a problem with my car, and I was wondering if Jimmy, I mean James, could take a look at it. Ashely: Forget it. Start pushing! Ryan: Ah!
