Problem: Given the question: M: It's all right, Rita. Where have you been? W: At the police station. I've lost my handbag. Or perhaps someone's taken it. I don't know. M: Oh, no. What happened? Sit down. Was there anything important in it? W: Important! My checkbook, all the papers I need for work. M: Oh, that's terrible. But how did you lose it? W: Well, as you know, I was with a friend all morning and we had lunch together. After I had lunch, I went shopping. And when I wanted to buy something, I couldn't find my checkbook. Then I remembered that it was in my handbag. And my handbag was in my car. M: So you went back to your car. W: But I didn't find it there. M: And you went to the police station? W: Not immediately. Before I went to the police station I called my friend's office. No luck. M: You should go to the restaurant where you had lunch and look for it. W: Oh, I should have done that. M: Now you'd better telephone the manager right away. What was said before this conversation?

input question: Dad: Yeah, sure, but wait. Weren't you supposed to get a report card sometime this past week? Girl: Well, oh yeah. Can I call Sharon now? Dad: Uh-hum. You didn't answer my question. Did you receive it or not? Girl: I love you Dad! You're the best! Dad: Don't try to butter me up. I can guess that your answer means that you didn't do well in some of your classes? Girl: Well, my English teacher is soooo boring, and he blows up every time someone talks. Dad: In other words, you're not doing so well? Girl: Uh, a C ... minus. Dad: Oh. Well, how are you doing in your Spanish class? You said you liked that one. Girl: Well, I do, but I forgot to turn in a couple of assignments, and I had problems on the last test. All those verbs tripped me up. I get them all mixed up in my head! Dad: Okay, and what about algebra? Girl: Ah, I'm acing that class. No sweat. Dad: Oh! Girl: Can I go now? Dad: And how are you doing in history? Girl: Oh, that's my favorite class. Mr. Jones is always passing out candy if you know the answers to his questions. Dad: Great. Now, I have a bright daughter with tooth decay. Girl: Ah, Dad. Can I go now? Dad: You can go if you answer my history question. How old am I? Girl: Uh, fifty-five? Dad: Fifty-five! You just failed a math and history test at the same time! Girl: Dad ... Dad: Well, okay, but you need to come straight home from the movie, and you need to practice your clarinet. Girl: Oh, I forgot about that grade? Dad: What? Girl: Gotta run, Dad. What was said before this conversation????

Answer: M: Where on earth are we?
Q: M: Yes, may I help you? M: This is Henry Jones in Room 742. I checked in about ten minutes ago. W: Ah, yes, Mr. Jones. How can I help you? M: The bathroom is in an absolutely terrible condition. When I tried the shower, no water came out at all. W: Oh, dear, I'm sorry to hear that. I'll have it fixed immediately. M: And that is not all. There is no soap, towel or toilet paper. W: I apologize for this, Mr. Jones. We're rather short staffed at present. The housekeeper should have checked your room. We'll attend to it as soon as possible. There's been a misunderstanding. M: That's all right. The most important thing is to fix it as soon as possible. What was said before this conversation?
