input question: W: I know. It's hard. What does he need? M: Well, darling, the other day he said that he needed a car. W: Yeah, right. Well, I think that's a little beyond us. M: Yeah, it'd be fun, but it's just a little too expensive. W: There's the usual kind of thing, like a wallet or tie. M: Oh, please, not for his sixtieth. I think we should get him something more expensive than that, don't you? I mean, we want to get something good, something... W: Something unusual? M: Yeah. W: Well, how about a computer? We could get him a computer. That way we could keep in touch on email. M: No, no, no. You know him. He says he's too old to learn how to use a computer. He isn't, of course, but I don't think he'd ever use it. What was said before this conversation????

input question: M: What do you think of the food today? W: You have to ask. About as terrible as usual, I'd say. M: You know, I think it's about time a group of us speak to some University officials about the quality of the food. W: Do you have a good idea? M: In my view, we had better get rid of the manager. W: Do you think you are the first to think of that? The problem is that the University doesn't want to change another manager. M: You mean you've been through this before? W: Yes, when I was a freshman, I once did that. I once wrote a letter to the Student Services Official and presented a petition signed by 200 students. M: What was his reaction? W: He asked me why all the other students didn't sign it as well. I told him we only had time for a sample, but I was sure almost all the students would have. M: Why was he so cool towards you? Isn't it a serious question? W: That manager has good friends in the University. You know family connections. What was said before this conversation????
