Context: Sydney admired her grandparents coin collections, so she started collecting rocks.

I was at my grandparents' house yesterday and while they were out running errands, I took a look at their coin collections.

Oh yeah? How many do they have?

So many I couldn't keep track!

Wow, that's cool. I collect seashells from all the beaches I go to.

That's awesome! I started collecting rocks after being inspired by their coin collection!

Cool! I hope you find some pretty ones!


I know. I am so blown away but this collection.

I hope she has them insured. That's a gold mine.

You're not kidding and it's real gold!

Well, I can store them in my safe for her if she wants.

No, that's cool. I told her to exchange them all for Bitcoin.

Great idea. Much more secure but does she remember her private key?


Context: Remy and Alex were on a date. Remy showed Alex's dog lots of love but didn't pay much attention to Alex.

Remy paid more attention to my dog than me!

Well, the dog is adorable.

But not as adorable as me

No, maybe Remy was nervous

No, he really acted strange.

Want me to ask him what's up?


I spent some time with Remy last night, we were on a date.

Did you have a good time?

We did, but Alex was paying more attention to my dog than me.

You're dog is adorable!

I know, but I would've liked to have a chat with Remy.

That is fair.


I went on a date with that guy Remy.

Oh yeah. That guy. How did it go?

I cooked at home, and he spent the entire time playing with my dog.

So he didn't help cook?

No he didn't. It made me think this is what it would be like when we marry. Me working, him playing around.

Well, if you have kids he'd be a good dad.


I'm glad Remy came over for our date.

Was your dog there?

Yes, Fluffy was at home too.

Did Fluffy and Remy get along?

Yes, Remy spent more time with the dog than me!

That's not a surprise.


Context: Remy was a doctor who was tending to Tracy. Tracy gave Remy expressions of pain.

I'm in so much pain ever since I broke my arm.

Did you see a doctor?

Yes, I went to Remy, he thinks I have a large fracture in my elbow.

Did you get any painkillers?

Yes, but I really had to give Remy a lot of expressions of pain.


I'm in a lot of pain.

What did the doctor's say?

The nurse called in Remy to have a look at me and he said I was looking like I was in a lot of pain.

Were you?

Yes, I couldn't stop the expressions of pain in my face.

I hope you feel better soon.


Context: Robin was making breakfast before work and felt his oats to ensure they were the right temperature.

This oatmeal is a little soggy but at least it's warm.

That's good, I bet you wouldn't want your oatmeal cold and soggy.

Of course not! I want a healthy and nutritious breakfast.

And of course tasty and delicious.

You bet! Let's sit down and eat.

I'll grab the bowls and spoons.


And this is how I can tell that the oats are the right temperature.

Gross. You put your finger in them?

Well, yes. I am going to be the one eating them after all. What, do you think I would use a thermometer?

Hm, I don't know, but putting your finger in wet food is definitely gross.


I'm making breakfast.

Put the oats in there.

The temperature needs to be right.

Yes that's true.

I usually feel my oats to see if they're the right temperature.

Go for it.


I am making oats for breakfast.

I never get the temperature right on those things.

It's tough, I have to make sure to get it just right, and I need to hurry before work.

Yeah for breakfast I just eat a banana.

You need more food in your system, oats is a better choice.

I'll think about it.


Context: Sasha asked Lee's mom for her number so that she could stay in contact with Lee.

My mom gave Sash my number.

Why did Sasha want your number?

My mom gave it to Sasha so we can stay in contact.

Are you going to call Sasha?

Of course, I was a little sad when I forgot to get her number.

Seems like Sasha was thinking ahead.


Sarah got my number from my mom. She's so sweet. I forgot to give it to her.

She doesn't have it already?

We were neighbours and I never really hung out with her. But she wants to stay in touch.

Well you'll have more phone friends for college now.

It will definitely be nice to have more people to write and talk to.

That's great you've got a bunch of people behind you.


Context: Cameron felt the torn muscle in Robin's leg and suggested that they have an MRI to confirm the injury.

I'm still in shock in dealing with this tremendous pain.

I'm so sorry this happened to you, I know you're upset.

I was having such a great season and the team is winning also, Cameron said I might need an MRI.

It was going to be our year finally.

I have that feeling to, hopefully everyone comes together and is able to still deliver.

Hopefully, but it's going to be hard without you.


Context: Jesse and friends went to the funfair and Jesse was a big coward but after alot of persuasion Jesse rode a roller coaster fearfully.

This is a great day at the funfair.

Let's go on the roller coaster.

I don't know. It looks dangerous. How about the merry-go-round?

What are you, five? Let's go, it'll be fun and it's plenty safe.

O.K. If you say so.

Come on, I'll hold your hand.


Even though I was big coward about roller coasters, I rode it fearfully, after much persuasion from my friends.

See it wasn't that bad.

Yes it was. I wet my pants I was so scared. I was just screaming the whole time.

You made it though.

You mean like I didn't die?

Pretty much.


Context: Ash justified the answer to why he committed the robbery to men in the justice system.

The men in justice system asked me why I committed the robbery.

What was your response to them?

I only justified the answer to why I committed the robbery!

Were they convinced?

It seems so!


I just lost my job and needed some money to eat.

That's not a good excuse to commit robbery.

Hunger will make you do strange things.

There are plenty of charities that will give you free food if you ask.

I've never been this desperate before so I was unaware of that.

Next time you need something give me a call and I'll come help you.


Context: It was Kendall's birthday so for surprise, Sydney got all Kendall's friends together to celebrate it.

I got all of Kendall's friends together the other night.

What for?

It was Kendall's birthday and we wanted to surprise her to celebrate.

Wow that must've been quite the celebration.

It really was!

You're a great friend Sydney.


Okay everybody. When she walks in the room yell surprise!

Okay but does she really not expect this?

She doesn't have a clue. So just follow the plan.

Kendall is going to be happy to see all of her friends. I can't wait to see her face.


I threw a surprise party for Kendall.

Wow how did it go?

It went great, she didn't expect a thing.

That's amazing I am glad the surprise worked.

I just hope Kendall enjoyed the celebration.

I am sure she did!


I'm planning on holding a get together for Kendall's birthday, are you in?

Is it a party?

Sort of, it's like a surprise party, don't tell Kendall about it.

Okay, I'm in.


Context: Robin made Taylor comment about the news because they wanted to know the truth about what they think.

I hung out with Robin today.

Nice, what'd you guys do?

Robin made me talk about the news.

Why?

They wanted to know what I think, I guess.

That's kind of weird.


I think Robin is not going to want to be friends with me anymore.

How come? You guys are so close.

Well she kept asking for my opinion about the recent events in the news. I didn't want to tell her the truth because I know we disagree on that.

Oh yeah, she's pretty left wing.

Exactly. So I kept trying to change the subject but she wouldn't give up.

Well hopefully she can be open minded and not let it affect your friendship.


I just knew Robin wouldn't agree with me, that's why I didn't want to say anything.

I didn't realize how far apart you two were in your opinions.

I didn't realize how invested Robin was in politics.

It's not a big surprise she has always been very into her news.

We just have completely different mindsets.

I think to remain friends, you two just have to stay out of politics.


Context: Taylor's family moved and Taylor had to attend a new school. On the first day, a girl named Quinn became Taylor's friend.

I'm so glad I met Quinn! I was nervous about this new school after the move.

That's great do you two have a lot of the same interests?

I think so, she has invited me to her house tonight.

That's nice, at what time?

She said maybe for dinner? Her mom is making meatloaf!

That sounds great, have a good time!


Even though I was worried about moving to a new school, my first day turned out pretty great.

That's good to hear. Did you make new friends?

Actually, yes. This girl named Quinn seems really nice and she helped me a whole lot.

That's good. I'm glad to hear it. You should introduce us next time we hang out.


Today was my first day at school since we moved.

How was the new school, is the building like our school was?

No, it's all one big building, but it has a big playground and field and we got to run around for gym and recess.

That's way better then our small basketball court.

Yeah, and I met a girl named Quinn, she's my new friend.

Just don't forget your old friends, we miss you a lot.


Context: Cameron and their friends were playing baseball. Cameron got a hit in the game.

I think I'm getting better at baseball.

Did you play today?

Yeah, I managed to get a hit at the game.

That's great, what will you work on now?

I still can become better at hitting.

If you work hard you'll be the best hitter.


O.K., I'm up to bat.

You can do it, Cameron.

This pitcher is pretty tough.

Nice, hit Cameron! Stay on second!

O.K. Now it's you're turn.

Don't worry, I'll drive you in.


My jaw hurts.

What happened? Did you fall or something?

I got hit by a pitch playing baseball the other day.

Maybe you should see a doctor and get it checked out.

I can't stand going to the doctor.

Better safe than sorry.


This bruise is pretty significant.

How did you get it?

I was playing baseball and got hit by the ball.

Wow, how fast was the ball traveling?

It was a fly ball, actually. The sun was in my eyes and I got hit after failing to catch it.

Looks like the baseball cap couldn't block the sun, huh?


I didn't see you at the baseball game.

Shoot, I forgot about that.

It was really fun. I finally got a hit in the game!

Wow, you are getting better. That is very cool!

Will you be at the next game?

I will try. See you soon!


Context: Tracy was bored and sitting inside the house because of the rain. Tracy stared out the window.

I am so bored.

Well, stop staring out the window, and let's think of something to do.

What can we do in the rain?

Something inside, how about a movie?

Have you forgotten the movie theatres are closed?

No, just one of your DVDs.


I'm just staring out the window right now.

Why are you staring out the window?

I'm bored and I'm stuck inside of the house because it's raining.

Go play in the rain. It's refreshing.

Come over so I don't look like an idiot doing it alone.


Context: Sasha knew they didn't need the shoes, but bought the shoes anyways.

I have a closet full of shoes, but I really want these so I bought them.

Well, you are not in need of money.

My dad pays for my credit card bills.

How nice it is to have a rich dad.

Not really. I never see him. He's always working.

Someone has to make the money.


I know I didn't need them but look at them.

They look expensive.

They were on sale, don't you think they are cute?

Yeah, they are fine I guess.


Context: Jesse sent lunch instead. The others in the office were very grateful to Jesse for her help.

It felt great to be able to send lunch to my co-workers.

That's nice of you.

Yes and the people in the office were very grateful too.

I bet. Free lunch is always a good thing.

Free for everybody except the boss. I used the company card.

I wouldn't ask for any raises for a while.


Hey, I hope everyone enjoyed lunch

Yeah, thanks man! You didn't have to do that, though.

Hey, we're all in this together. Just trying to make the day a bit brighter.

Yeah, It's been pretty grim around here lately.

We all need to take a break and breathe once in a while. It's too serious around here.

Agreed. Let's finish lunch and hit the ground running.


I think everyone's too busy right now to get ourselves lunch.

I'd pickup food for you guys if I could, but I have to get this work done before noon.

How about I send out for lunch instead? They can drop it off here.

That's a great idea! Thanks so much.

You guys deserve it. The whole office has been working really hard today.


Context: Ash poured a bowl of cereal into his favorite bowl, but they didn't know they were out of milk.

Ugh! How am I suppose to have my favourite cereal without milk. I hate this!

Well, you went shopping last night. Why didn't you buy milk?

I thought we had a whole gallon.

Oh, we used it for the cooking class. I thought you knew.

Well, you really should run out right now since dry cereal does not cut it for me.

Oh all right then. Give me ten minutes.


I had dry cereal for breakfast this morning.

That's an odd breakfast.

I had poured a bowl of cereal into my favourite bowl, but didn't know I was out of milk.

That's a shame.


Dude I just poured a nice bowl of cereal and we are out of milk. I thought there was some left

Nah man I used the last of it for dinner last night.

Well I'll make sure to add it to the grocery list.

You can always eat your cereal dry

I guess so it's just never as good

Agreed, but it'll still fill you up


The most annoying think happened this morning.

What is that? I hope it wasn't bad.

Well, it wasn't bad. Just about my cereal.

Oh no! Don't tell me the milk was spoiled.

Well, it wasn't spoiled, but we didn't have any.

Oh no! Well you could have just gone to the store I guess.


Context: Bailey had collapsed onto the bed exhausted after a long day. Jordan removed Bailey's shoes.

I was so exhausted. I couldn't even get my shoes off.

Long day at work?

Yeah. I'm just had to lie down on the bed.

Did anyone help you with your shoes?

Yes, Jordan removed them for me.

That was nice of him.


I am so tired today that I cannot wait to just get to bed.

Long day for you?

Yes, it has been a really long day.

I hear you, but sometimes sleep does the trick.

Yea, I collapsed right onto the bed earlier.

That's awesome! I hope that you are feeling better now.


I'm exhausted. I'm just going to collapse on the bed when I get home.

Why are you so exhausted?

It's been a very long day.

What happened?

The shipment was late, so we had to work overtime to unload it.

Don't forget to remove your shoes once you get into bed.


I was so tired yesterday I just collapsed on the bed.

Oh that stinks, did you fall asleep straight away?

Kind of, Jordan had to take my shoes off, I was so out of it.

That was very nice of him!

I know, I love him so much.

That's sweet, you two are great together.


Context: Kendall needed a few extra dollars, so they decided to shovel Austin's driveway.

I need a few extra hours.

What are you going to you do?

Well I was hoping to do extra work.

You should ask Austin if his driveway needs shovelling.

Ok that sounds good to be honest.

Good luck.


Do you still need some cash?

Yeah, I'm broke.

Austin is paying me $100 to shovel his driveway.

That's a lot of work.

If you help me, we can split the money.

I'll do it. I'm desperate.


I needed a few extra dollars to buy a video game.

Did you manage to get the money?

I did, by shovelling Austin's driveway.

Good for you.


Context: Quinn tried hard not to faint as he held the gauze pad over the gaping wound.

I'm starting to feel really dizzy.

You should sit down. Just keep holding that on the wound.

How long do we have to wait?

I don't know. This seems like a pretty busy ER. Should be soon, though.

I hope so. Yeah, okay, I'd better sit down.

Just try and relax. I'll go and find out how long it's going to be.


Oh, man, this really hurts and it's pouring blood so fast!

You're going to be fine, buddy. Just hold that gauze over the hole and keep pressure on it!  We'll get you to the hospital in no time.

I kind of feel like I'm going to pass out, the pain is crazy.

I'm sorry, Quinn. I swear I didn't know it was loaded.

I know, it's okay.

Not long now Quinn.


Context: Addison went to a horror movie with her friend even though she did not like them.

I went to see an awful horror movie today. Now I won't sleep for a week.

Why did you go if it was awful?

A friend of mine asked me to go with her so I did. It was terrible.

Did your friend like it?

Oh, yes! She was totally into it. Screaming and hiding her eyes.


I love horror movies, so I figured I would just go.

But you don't even like that group of people, do you?

No, not really, but I had nothing else to do, and horror movies are my thing.

Was the movie at least a good movie?

The movie wasn't bad, I wouldn't see it again, but it gave me something to do.

Well next time, call me, we can go if you want.


Context: Taylor wanted to identify the strange bird, so Taylor got a closer look.

I love being accurate.

Same.

I've got to get a closer look to figure out what that strange bird is.

Good idea.


I saw such a weird bird today.

Do you know what kind it was?

No, I tried to get closer, but it flew away.

That's too bad, I would have loved to see it.


Context: After eating Italian food, Cameron annoyed the others by farting a lot and taking medicine.

My roommates are mad at me. I have been having farting due to flatulence in my stomach.

That is funny, did you have bad food?

I think my stomach hates the Italian food I had.

The pharmacist might be able to prescribe something for that.


Context: Bailey judged the lack of righteousness by that man and decided it was best to stay away.

I feel like the man who lives down the street should be avoided.

What gives you that sense?

I saw him yelling at some little kids the other day.

What kind of grown man thinks it's okay to yell at little kids?

Exactly. Seeing that made me judge his righteousness, and I think it'd be best to keep away from him.

You're probably smart to avoid him.


Context: Robin was dating their partner for a year before proposing to them in front of everyone.

I finally proposed to my partner!

Congratulations! Haven't you been dating for a while now?

We've been dating for a year.

That's a good amount of time. How did you propose to them?

I did it in front of everyone!

I certainly hope they said yes!


Context: Robin's father was known as a criminal, but Robin avenged their father's wrongdoing.

My dad was a really bad guy. He never cared who he hurt.

That's terrible. I'm sure that makes you feel bad.

I used to feel really bad about it, but I've been doing everything I can to make things right.

You are a really caring person. Most people wouldn't bother with that.

I just felt like it was my duty to avenge all his wrongdoing.

You are really an inspiration for people who want to live a moral life.


Context: Even though it was a difficult decision and someone had to lose either way, Addison supported Cameron's families decision.

I'm really glad that Addison was willing to support me on the decision I made for the family.

I think that's because Addison loves you.

I love her too. It was just sad that someone had to lose in the ordeal regardless.

As long as you guys stick together support each other, I think it'll be okay.

I'm glad to have a friend like you as well for support.

That's what we're here to do.


So do you really think we are doing the best thing? Moving across state is a big deal.

I think it will be a good thing. The work opportunity is once in a lifetime.

I know it is so hard to pass up.

Change is never easy but sometimes it's for the best, as long as Addison supports your decision.

Addison fully supports the families decision. I just hope it all works out.

You guys are a strong family, I'm sure it will.


Context: Jan slapped them in the face. They were ashamed of their behavior.

I was so mad at my friend today.

What did your friend do to upset you?

Jimmy was messing around with my favourite toy dog and dropped it in the toilet.

How horrible!

Yeah I slapped him in the face. He felt ashamed about it and told me he would buy me a new one.

At least he's making it up to you.


You would not believe what happened to me today. Some guy came up behind me and started pinching my rear end.

Are you serious? What did you do? I would have screamed bloody murder.

I turned around and slapped him. I wasn't even thinking, it was just a reflex. I was so mad.

Lucky for him, you didn't have a knife in your hand. You might have stabbed him as a reflex.

You're probably right about that. In any case, the guy was drunk and apologized but I didn't accept it.


I ended up slapping that man in the face because he was being rude.

Oh wow, and then what did he do?

He looked like I just shot him and then ran off like a little kid.

I mean he deserved it, he was being a jerk to you for no reason.

I heard him say sorry as he was running off but I didn't care, he couldn't even look me in the eye and say it.

No one should ever talk to a woman the way he talked to you.


That guy just makes me so angry sometimes.

I know, he's such a jerk. Hopefully that slap will set him straight.

I think it will, he looked really apologetic after I smacked him.

Did you leave a mark at all?

No way, I didn't hit that hard. I wanted to avoid that. I didn't want to hurt the guy, just get the message across.

Well I think you made your point!


I had a very tense evening last night with my sons.

Oh no what happened how are you feeling?

I'm still upset about the situation but I'm much more calm now.

So tell me what happened with the kids?

The boys came in last night and were drunk and disrespectful to their father. I was so angry I slapped both of them for being disrespectful. I told them if they can't respect their father and the house they need to move out.

I know that had to be very hard for you. I think you need to give them two weeks to move out they aren't children anymore and you can't deal with the disrespect.


Context: Aubrey was always trying to spend time with me even when I wanted time to myself, she went to my friends house to see me.

I was just over Ben's house again. I'm not sure if he likes me.

He has said repeatedly that he needs so breathing room. Don't suffocate him.

I know but I love being around him. He is so funny.

I am not sure if he feels the same way as you do about him.

Maybe I should stop seeing him so much.


Do you know if Sky is at the party?

I don't know if Sky decided to come.

Oh, do you know if she's at her sister's house.

I don't know but I know she likes to shop with her sister.

Do you think I can find her at the mall or the outlet stores?

Try the outlet stores. She loves outlets.


Context: Robin brought Kendall to the attention of the police after they saw Kendall steal CDs out of an unlocked car.

I turned Kendall into the police last night after I saw her stealing CDs from a car.

You did the right thing, she needs to understand how she acts is wrong.

She has been getting away with this for too long.

Her parents enable her behaviour because they are just like her.

Do you think she can ever change?

It is hard to say but she is not even 18 yet, so there is still hope.


I was sitting outside the other day and I saw this lady get inside a car and take some stuff and then run up the street!

Wow. Did you call the cops?

Yes and I gave them a description. They quickly found the lady and it turns out it was Kendall!

Wow Kendall? That is crazy. I never could imagine her stealing like that.

I didn't realize it was her at the time, but I was shocked too.

That's terrible. I wonder why she was stealing from someone!


Context: Kai was wondering if they should attend the funeral. Cameron told Kai not to come.

I feel a little guilty for telling Kai not to come to the funeral.

Why would you keep your own brother from attending your dad's funeral?

Kai had a terrible relationship with our dad and doesn't deserve to come.

Your dad is dead, though, so it's about time your family tried to heal its broken relationships.

Maybe, but I can never forgive him for the shouting matches he had with our father.

Maybe Kai was too young at that point to understand why he was so angry.


Context: Remy saw some people playing tennis at the park. They challenged them to a game.

Hey what's up friend?

Hey Remy, how are you? Nothing much going as usual.

I am good, I saw some people playing tennis at the park.

Okay, did you play with them?

Yes, they challenged us to a game.

Cool.


I met a few other tennis players today. Really nice folks.

How'd you meet them?

I was at the park and saw them playing tennis. I asked if I could get a game in with them.

Did you get to play?

Yes, one of the players was tired so she said she would sit this one out.


I played a game of tennis today with some people at the park!

Have you played before?

Not in a couple years, but I used to play all the time.

Did you have a good game with them?

I was very rusty but they taught me some new tricks.

That's so cool.


Context: In their article, Arizona gave the reader a thorough analysis of Riley's perspective.

I wrote a good article about Riley's perspective, did you read it?

Yeah I thought it was particularly good.

Thank you, I take great pride in my work.

Do you intend on writing any more articles like this?

Yes I love writing articles about characters in books.

Well then I think you should make a career out of it.


I think Riley would be proud of me.

Riley would be angry.

Why would you say that?

You only knew Riley for a month!

We bonded so closely in that month!

I knew Riley for a year, so I knew her more!


Context: Riley and their friends were having a Halloween movie marathon, and they took a break before Riley began another movie.

Do you think the other movies will be as scary as the last one?

I hope so because I love scary movies.

Do you remember when we were young and used to stay up all night watching scary movies?

Best times of my life right there just living the dream.

I miss the old days and the older scary movies.


What kind of movie do you guys want to watch next?

We need something to make us laugh.

I got a couple options we can discuss.

I'm refilling up all our snacks so we can be ready.

Make sure to pop a lot of popcorn.

Working on that as we speak.


We were watching some scary movies last night, but we had to take a break.

Why would you need a break?

I was too scared to watch another one.

You could have just watched a comedy.

It was a Halloween movie marathon though.

Well, I guess funny movies were out of the question then.


How are you enjoying the Halloween movie marathon?

I'm ready for the next movie.

What kind of movie do you want to watch?

I like one with a lot of suspense.

I think that would perfect.

I'll see what movies there are in the collection.


Context: Tracy jumped in front of the bullet and in doing so, Tracy protected others from injury.

I can't believe I decided to jump in front of that gunman.

You saved someone's life and the cops took the guy down because you did that.

I guess I will have a cool scar on my leg because of it.

Yeah always look on the bright side right!

In all seriousness I am glad no one got hurt.

Except the gunman, but he got what he deserved.


I can't believe I got shot. I'm lucky I didn't die!

You did end up in the hospital, but I'm glad you're okay.

The gunman wasn't firing at me, he was shooting at someone else. I jumped in front of the bullet to save them.

Yeah, you were a real hero.


Context: Sydney worked well in business school to get a better grant so she can keep going to school.

I've been working really hard to get grants because I can't afford school on my own.

Keep it up. The hard work will pay off.

Hopefully it does. I'm trying to get a better grant for next school year.

Let me know if you need any letters of recommendation. I would gladly help you out.

Thanks so much.


Context: Riley was double checking to be sure everything was in place. Riley made sure of oneself.

It took me 20 minutes to double-check I had everything for the party today. I had to have everything I wanted to be sure of myself.

Did you have everything in the end?

No I still had to pick up one more thing so it's good I checked.

You seem really on top of the plans for this party.

I owe it to my husband to throw him a great 40th birthday party.

You're a really great wife to go to so much trouble.


Context: Jordan was filled with anger and disgust at the aggressor when Jordan saw Casey's bruised face again.

I called the cop's yesterday on Casey's attacker.

Wait what! Go slow on this. What happened to Casey?

He was attacked by a person I know from our block. The man hit his face so hard that left Casey with bruises.

Damn! That's absurd.

Yes it is. I called the police on him and as we speak, he is in jail.

He deserves to be in prison. I am mad too.


What happened to Casey's face?

Someone hurt him and bruised his face.

It just fills me with anger and disgust that someone could do this to Casey.

It is awful.


Context: Alex ate potato chips. However, he ate too many and got a little nauseous.

These chips are so good.

You probably shouldn't eat too many.

They are just so good I cant stop eating them.

Your stomach is going to hurt.

You are right my stomach is upset, I feel a little nauseous right now.

Get some water, and stop eating all that salt.


I feel kind of sick right now. I ate too many chips.

Ahh. That would do it for sure. Limit yourself next time.

I always say I will but I never do.

I think we've all done that. Maybe it's better not to buy junk food to begin with.

Yeah, but I do it anyway and tell myself I'll just eat it over a longer period of time.

I hear you. But it's really easy to just eat it all at once.


I really feel nauseous.

What did you do?

I ate too many potato chips.

I didn't even know you bought potato chips for yourself.

I didn't. I ate your bag.

I'm glad you're feeling nauseous at the moment.


Context: Quinn waited an hour after work, but was never on time in the first place.

I walked so far today after work I am so sore.

Did you make it on time for work?

I only had fifteen minutes left and my manager still yelled at me.

Did you tell him that you couldn't find your work shoes?

I don't think he even really cared at all.


I had to work for an extra hour today.

Did you finally get some overtime work hours?

I wish. That was punishment for not arriving on time in the morning.

You are never tardy. What happened today?

I had to drop off my dog at the vet's in the morning.


I wish I didn't have to always use the bus because I never seem to be on time.

I wonder why your routes are always late, I don't have that problem.

I'm not sure! I waited an entire hour after work to get a ride home.

An hour! That is really extreme.

I was pretty frustrated, but for now my only other option is walking.

Maybe you should save up for your own vehicle.


Context: Bailey had given Addison the chance to prove that she could manage the store by herself. Things went very well and Addison maximized the day's profits.

Bailey let me manage the store. I think I did pretty well!

So you didn't have any problems?

No, not really. It was pretty busy, too.

Good work, I bet Bailey was pleased!

Thanks, I thought I did well!

Keep this up, and you'll be manager some day!


Context: Skylar's car broke down in the middle of the road so Skylar called the auto club to tow her car.

My car just broke down!

Oh no, where are you?

I'm in the middle of the road!

Do you want me to drive out and see if we can fix anything?

No, thank you, I have just called the auto club, they will tow me home.

Call me when you get home so I know you made it.


I had to call a tow truck today for the first time.

Your car broke down?

Yes in the middle of the road. I'm so glad I have triple A.

Did they come right away?

Pretty fast but I was so scared because it was blocking traffic.

I'm glad you and the car are home safe now.


My car broke down in the middle of the road. I called the auto club to help me tow it.

What's the matter with it?

I think they tell me there might be an engine issue.

Is it at the body shop still?

Yes, the mechanic will call me tomorrow with an estimate.

I hope it won't be too much.


I had a terrible day today. My stupid car broke down in the middle of the road. I couldn't even get it off the road.

Whoa, that could have been a disaster. What did you do?

I just stayed in the car and called the auto club. They came down in a half an hour and towed my car to my mechanic's shop.

You're lucky a car didn't hit you. Next time, I don't think you should stay in the car, in the middle of the road. Someone speeding could have hit you.

Yes, you're probably right but there was nothing on the side of the road.


Context: Rylie is teaching Sasha how to swim.  Riley told Sasha to hold her breath.

Did you know that Sasha had never been swimming before?

Really not even in the ocean?

She'd never been in deeper water then her bath, so I taught her how to swim.

What did you teach her first?

First was how to hold her breath.

That's a good place to start.


I was teaching Sasha to swim.

How did that go?

Really well, it took a lot of practice but after a while she could hold her breath.

That's great progress..

Next I will teach her how to tread water.

Good luck with that.


Context: Kendall borrowed a book from the library and did some research on a subject she liked.

I borrowed a book from the library.

Oh! For the research you told me about right?

Yes and it was really helpful.

Okay, so you were able to find the necessary details you needed?

Yes I was.


This is a really interesting book and I think that all the stories will be used immensely for it.

There are lots of other people that have the same interest as you but no drive.

Yeah you're right. I am just so relieved to find something I can research and have a lot of passion for.

It has been such a fun time in regards to learning more about your interests.

I cant wait to share more of this information with all my friends.

I know righ.t


Sorry If I seem to be busy. I just came back from the library.

Did you get anything interesting?

Yeah, I got this book on old ruins in South America.

Is it for any type of homework for school?

No. It's just a subject I like doing research for.

That's what makes me and you different. I would never do extra work if I didn't have to.


I borrowed a book from the library.

Relax man, the research is relaxed.

I know but I want to get a good grade in the class.

I know but you have six classes to take.

You need to get audio books too.

That's good for you.


Oh hey Matt how's it going?

Great, how are you? What are you doing here?

I need a book for a research project for school. Trying to decide the topic.

Cool, always a fun time at the library.

Hey, you can always learn something here.


Context: Robin worked hard for some overtime pay and finally bought a game they had been wanting.

Are you ready to play the new Halo game with me?

Yes, when did you get it?

Yesterday, my dad took me to the store to buy it.

You've been saving all month for it.

I have, I even worked overtime bus boy shifts at the restaurant to make sure I had enough money for it.

I am sure you are glad to finally have it to play.


I finally bought it!

What did you buy?

That game I told you about. I finally saved up and got it.

How did you save all that money?

I worked a lot of overtime hours and finally got the money to get it.

That's awesome I'm really happy for you!


I'm so excited! This has been a great day.

Looks like you are in good spirits today.

I am. I've been working too much lately and it has finally paid off.

It definitely feels nice to get rewarded. I'm so happy for you.

With the extra money I saved up I managed to buy a game that I've always been looking forward to playing.

Working so hard at a goal and succeeded, you've done well friend.


Hey, look at what I bought!

Woah! Dude, that game is so expensive.

I have been working so much overtime, finally got paid. So worth it.

Totally! Let's take advantage of that.

Meet me at my house to play?

On my way!


I worked so hard, I finally got my overtime pay check

Did you buy the game you wanted?

Yes I'm going to play it on Friday

Is it multiplayer?

Yeah want to join me?

I'd love to!


Context: Kendall devoted time to the study of animals and every week would have went out for hours on end to watch them in their own habitat.

I love my work.

You spend a lot of time there.

I have devoted time to the study of animals, many hours of my personal time in fact.

You are constantly in the lab.

Every week, I would go out for hours on end to watch them in their own habitat if I had that chance.

You might be able to switch from lab work to field work.


Next week I am finally going to Arizona to study the creatures of the desert.

Its so exciting that you keep getting to go out into the wilderness and study all these animals.

I love it, I love being out in the wilderness, in their habitats and watching them for hours do what they do.

I should have thought about that for my PHD, instead I sit in a lab day in and day out.

I couldn't do that, I want to be out in nature where I can study animals and devote my time to being in their environment and living in their world.

You are so lucky, what a wonderful way to spend your time.


Context: Carson told their brother about the movie and it was very entertaining movie to go see.

I went to a great flick.

What did you see?

I saw JoJo Rabbit.

That film almost won an Academy Award.

I told my brother about the movie as I was excited to share how entertaining it was.

That was very kind of you.


Context: Taylor bought the wrong size clothes so they went back to the shop and Jordan gave Taylor the right one.

I had to help Taylor out on buying clothes today.

She came into your store?

Yes and bought the wrong size! I had her try it on and made her do it so she could be sure.

Yeah, you really need to try some items on before buying.

At least it was a good way to work, helping a friend.

True. It must be nice to see your friends at the store.


I'm meeting Taylor for coffee later.

Are the two of you just meeting for a catch-up?

No, she's treating me since she bought the wrong size clothes from my boutique, and I let her come back to the shop for new clothes.

That was kind of you since I know you have a no-return and no-exchange policy.

I'll bend the rules a bit for friends.

I'm sure that Taylor was appreciative.


Taylor bought the wrong size of clothes!

Did they come back for the right sizes?

They did! they came back to the shop and I gave them the right one.

You did great.


Context: Aubrey put in a lot of work to their costume so they could win a contest.

I've been working all week on these costumes.

The ones for the Anime contest?

Yeah, my fingers are cut up from sewing.

Thanks for all the hard work, you didn't have to do this much.

I really want us to win, so I had to work hard.


I really think his costume is going to win me the contest

It really does look amazing I'm very hopeful that you will win

Thank you I put in a lot of time and effort into it

I understand I think it will pay off for you

Me too it would mean a lot to me to win

I have my fingers crossed for you


I really hope I win the contest tonight since many Hollywood scouts will be there

You put so much effort into it, I'd would be surprised if you didn't

I think I spent about forty hours in total working on it

I am sure you will win the contest.


Context: Cameron checked Addison's fridge, but noticed that there wasn't anything to eat in it.

I am so hungry!

Why not go to the fridge and eat something?

I checked in Addison's fridge, there is nothing there.

You should go shopping.

I will once I get some money.

Here, I'll loan you 7 dollars.


I was waiting for Addison to finish up today at his house and he had no food.

Did you need something to eat?

I wanted a snack so I checked the fridge and it was totally empty.

What does she eat if there's nothing there?

I guess she orders in a lot.

You'll have to bring some snacks over next time you go.


I opened up Addison's fridge to grab a beer and some grub, but there's nothing in there to drink or eat.

You mean it's completely empty.

Well, maybe not completely.  There was an old shrivelled up carrot rolling around.

That's sad.  Does Addison have enough money for food?

Not for food, Addison spends it all on bills and rent.

Sounds like he needs to move out of his house to a cheaper place.


I spent all day at Addison's with no food.

Surely they must have had something?

Nope, everything was empty, including the fridge.

Man, that really sucks.

Plus I couldn't get anything delivered because she lives in the middle of nowhere.

At least next time you know to bring something with you.


I am hungry.

You haven't eaten recently?

No. I was over at Addison's house but he didn't have any food in the fridge.

He never has any food in the house.


Context: Tracy was relieved that her friend was alright.  She knew that Aubrey almost died.

I was so frightened, I was genuinely shaking.

Yeah, that was a scary accident for Aubrey.

She could have died. I literally have been shaken up all day.

Yeah it was really a close call. The car that side swiped her was massive.

I am just thankful that she's okay.

Hopefully in a couple days you can give her a hospital visit.


When I got that call last month that Aubrey had been in an accident, my heart stopped beating.

I can only imagine because I know how close you and Aubrey are.

It was so scary to know that she had been hurt and then the wondering if she was going to pull through. It was so hard.

I am so glad that she ended up pulling through.

You have no idea. I cannot imagine living without her in my life.

I am sure she is glad to have you as well.


Context: Tracy had a bad flu so Alex came to look after Tracy.  Alex fed Tracy soup then put Tracy to bed to get some rest.

I heard Tracy was feeling under the weather.

She had a bad case of the flu.

I made her some soup and the put her to bed, it was wholesome.

Aren't you sweet.

I'm sure that she would do the same for me.

You would hope so!


Tracy had the flu so bad. I came over to look after him.

That was sweet of you.

I know! I fed him some soup.

Did you manage to have fun anyway?

No, I put him to bed to get some rest and watched TV until I had to go back home.

Let's hope you don't get the flu now.


I've been taking care of my daughter Tracy for the last couple of hours.

Did something happen? Is she sick?

Indeed, it's a bad case of the flu. Symptoms were a fever and a persistent cough.

I know from experience how unpleasant the flu can be.

I fed my daughter some soup and bread, gave some her some paracetamol then laid her down in bed to get some rest.

The best way to recover from the flu is to rest and take in some electrolytes. Gatorade can help with that.


Context: Skylar held her hand to Sasha's chest because she wanted her to know that she was serious about the promise.

I made a strange hand to chest gesture the other day.

Were you pledging allegiance to the flag?

No, but I was promising Sasha something and wanted to relay I was serious.

So a patriotic gesture just came about from pure instinct.

Yeah, habits from school, I guess.

Did Sasha believe you?


Right, so you know when people make pinkie promises?

I think so, yeah.

I've got my own version of that, just to be sure I place my hand in someone's chest to let them know I'm not going to betray them.

Ok that's weird but if it makes you feel better, I can't fault you.

It's a serious promise pact, I did it with Sasha earlier today.

Hope she wasn't freaked out.


Context: Robin analyzed the case in terms of the law because she needed to make a reasonable defense.

I've been studying this case all week long.

You're the best lawyer I know, so you should be able to make something out of it.

I'm trying to put together a defence for my client, so I have to study both the case and the law as it applies to the case.

Your client's lucky to have you.


Context: After being called out for failing the test, Casey turned bright red.

I can't believe I started blushing in class.

I could see it from the other side of the room. Your face looked like a tomato. What happened?

The teacher called me out for failing the test.

That's really mean of her!


I had the most embarrassing thing happen today.

I'm sorry to hear that, what happened?

I failed the math test and the teacher told the whole class.

That's a mean thing to do, how did you react?

I stayed silent but felt so shameful that my whole face turned as red as a lobster.

I hope you turn this experience into a positive and study more for the next test.


Context: After several days of arguing with the boss, Bailey finally was exhausted. Bailey let it be.

I feel like nothing I say ever gets taken seriously.

Why, what happened? Something at work again?

Yeah. My boss keeps telling me I am doing something wrong when I know I'm not! She keeps telling me what to do when the work is supposed to be subjective!

Ah, well I guess it would be wise to just listen to her from now on. Don't waste your breath and put your job on the line. It's not worth it.

I know. I'm just exhausted from it all so I'm letting it go now. I'm just going to do what she wants me to do and turn in boring, mediocre work.

That's my girl!


Context: All students were told that the given essay will be the semester test. Even Skylar, the class lazybones, wrote a story.

Oh my goodness, I am so wiped out from writing a story.

You wrote a story?

Well it's actually our essay exam for the semester grade.

Yikes! that's a lot of work for you. I know you don't like school.

I just don't like to do homework but I managed to finish it so I should pass.

Good for you. You should be proud for trying.


I am glad she told us it was the test.

Yeah, I haven't studied very much.

Well the essay is the test, so that is easy to do.

I guess it's better than a quiz.

I can write an essay better than I can study.

Well it will work out for all of us.


Context: Jan was gambling at a game of poker and lost all of Kendall's hard earned money.

Kendall is going to kill me!

What did you do this time?

I was gambling at a poker game and lost all of her money!

You should find a way to get her money back.

I will.


Well I was at the casino the other night and I may have lost some money.

May have? How much money did you lose?

Look I had a great hand in this poker game, 3 aces, and it was a sure thing.

Except it wasn't Jan, how much money did you lose exactly?

About 5 grand, but the worst part is that I borrowed it from Kendall, I don't know how to tell her.

You borrowed it from Kendall? How could you do that Jan? You better tell her or I will.


I lost all of Kendall's hard earned money at a game of poker.

When did you do that?

A couple of days ago when we went to the casino.

You can't win every time.

I was up over a thousand then I lost it all.

That's how it goes.


Context: Tracy snuck up behind Cameron. They were trying to scare him.

Man, Tracy is such a character.

She likes doing tricks and playing games.

Too right, I was on my lunch break and she just snuck up out of nowhere.

Why on earth would she do that?

She was trying to scare me for fun, shame that I spilt a coffee over my expensive new white trousers.

I would have killed her if I were you.


Is it me or is Tracy really strange?

She does have some weird mannerism I must admit.

Well, yesterday she snuck up behind me and screamed in my ear. Could've given me a heart attack.

That's one way to express humour, I guess.


Context: Because they were requested for the ceremony, Carson sung Remy's favorite songs.

How did you like my performance for Remy's wedding?

It was beautiful and I'm glad he hired you.

I sung every song on that list of his favourite songs.

He looked incredibly happy, I'm sure he loved it.

Just give me a great referral.

I will definitely drum you up some more business.


Always nice to perform at ceremonies, good spirits all round.

Did you sing your usual stuff or a requested playlist.

No, Remy wanted all of his favourite songs played, so I fulfilled his wishes.

Your musical knowledge and style must be so versatile to deal with that.

It's what having a lot of years in the industry does to you.


What did you think about the set of songs I sang at the ceremony?

I thought you did a great job. Who picked the songs?

Remy did. It was a list of her favourite songs.

It turned out to be a really nice set and she looked beautiful.


Remy requested me for the ceremony!

Was it fun at the event?

Yes, I sang Remy's favourite song

She must really be happy!

Yes! she danced a lot


The ceremony was quite beautiful. You should have seen it.

I'll bet it was lovely. Did Remy like the songs you sang?

Of course, why wouldn't she? She requested them all personally.

Oh. At least you knew you'd be a hit, right?

Right. Plus we have similar taste in music, so I really did like her choices.

And you sing so beautifully, you could make anything sound good.


Context: Jesse hadn't seen his friends in a long time and finally got to play baseball with them.

I am really happy today

Why is that?

I got to see some friends I had not seen in a really long time!

That is great, what did you do?

We played baseball like old times

How fun! I'm happy for you guys


I missed those guys. It's been a long time.

About time you had a chance to meet your friends. You never have time to play baseball anymore.

Between work and college I barely have time to breathe, let alone play sports.

How long is your break for?

I'm on holiday break for two weeks, but I still have to work. Maybe two days a week I can get together with them again.

That sucks, look after yourself.


I had such a great time. It was good to finally get to hang out again with my friends.

I know, it had been way too long!

Yeah, I've got to do this more often with them. I love playing baseball.

Shame you don't get to play it as much, you could have made it pro for sure.

Well, let's not exaggerate now.

I'm serious!


I miss my friends.

Haven't you kept in touch?

I finally called them up so we played baseball, but I won't see them again for ages.

Did your team win?

Yeah, we thrashed them!

I'll come next time and show you what it's all about.


This is great, I finally had some time to meet and play baseball with my pals.

How long has it been?

At least, a month.  I'm glad we got everyone together.

You guys go so long without seeing each other, I couldn't do it.

It's just the way it is after college you see, people don't have as much time.

That's sad.


Context: Addison had taken Spanish and wanted to go somewhere outside of the country to practice their knowledge.

I feel like I want to travel to Spain to immerse myself in their language and culture.

You are in an advanced Spanish course, I think it would be fun.

Yeah, it would be expensive though.

You can always pay it off through a credit card.

Yeah, but anyway I want you to go with me if I decide to go.

Seriously? I would love to go with you!


I took a six month Spanish class online.

You should be fluent in Spanish now.

I've been practicing words and the accent a lot.

You should try it out and start a conversation with people who are fluent in Spanish.

I've decided, I want to go out of the country to a location where Spanish is the main language to try out my skills.

Great, I'll go too.


So you know how I've been taking those Spanish classes at the community college?

Yes, aren't you on level 4 now?

Yes, and I feel like I've learned all I can in the class.

Well that is exciting.

Sort of.  I can't go any further so I booked a trip to Mexico to practice in real life!

Even more exciting!  I hope you have fun!!


Context: Jan ran out of fruit for her smoothie every morning. Jan went to the store to buy some fruit.

Hey how was your morning?

It was ok, same thing just another morning.

Yeah I just got back from the supermarket to get some fruit for my smoothie. I do that every morning

Why don't you just buy enough fruit to last you a couple of days?

Because I enjoy going to the supermarket. It gives me something to do

If it was me I would just buy enough fruit for the week.


Context: Ash shed hope on the problem by offering a couple of options to consider for solutions.

My friends came to me for help.

What kind of help?

They had a problem and I gave them some hope.

What did you do?

I offered them a couple of options to consider for the solution.

I hope they took your advice.


I think a have a few options people should look at before we start the meeting

I hope you can figure this out before your manager sees it

I think I can shed some light on what has been going on with the stocks

You need to figure it out fast, or you might get fired

I think I have a few good solutions


Context: After being hounded for hours to tell him her plans for the weekend, Sasha finally gave Carson an answer. She is going out with her friends and not him.

I hope Carson can understand why I couldn6't go out with him

I'm sure he will, because you haven't seen your other friends for a long time

Things just haven't been the same since the hurricane, I had to relocate

Must be tough, you haven't had a chance to really meet with anyone

You will tonight though!


I have been thinking all day of my plans for the weekend.

Exactly what are your plans?

I didn't want to disappoint Carson, but I told him I was going out with my friends instead.

How did he take it?

It was no problem. He just wants me happy.

You are so lucky to have him.


Context: Addison took her awhile ago, and people were getting worried they wouldn't return.

Me and my friend were gone for a really long time.

Where did you guys go?

We just went to the bathroom. But people were getting worried that we wouldn't return.

Why did you guys take so long?

The line for the bathroom was incredibly long, so we just had to patiently wait.

I hate when bathroom lines are long, especially when I really have to go!


I hope no one worries that I will be gone for awhile and won't come back

I'm sure they understand that you needed to get checked out

My body temperature has been so bad. It's been rising steadily

It's better to get checked out than to have someone get really sick

Yeah, that's a good idea. I will come back as soon as possible.


I just got back from the mall.

We were worried about you.

Yeah, sorry, my phone was off.

We were about to call the police. We thought that you might not return.

Oh, you should not worry so much.

You two mean everything to us!


Context: Robin brought the paperwork to trial after her associates forgot to grab the briefcase they were in.

I swear to God, I'm dealing with incompetency.

Rough day at work?

We had a big case to cover today and my associates forgot the briefcase.

Oh no, how did you get through trial?

I had to rush back, drive all the way around town and get the briefcase.

At least you got it there in time.


How can someone forget the paperwork for the trial!

Your associates must have their heads in the clouds.

I suppose I can sort of sympathise. Having the stress of a trial on your shoulders is not easy.

I know...nerves I guess. It's not everyday you take on such a famous figure.

Yeah, we caught him red handed committing fraud .

I feel confident he'll go away for fraud for a very long time.


Context: Quinn dropped their computer on the way to class, so Quinn had to get their computer repaired.

I was running on the way to lecture and dropped my laptop!

Oh no. Can you get it repaired?

Yes but it'll cost a lot. I dropped it on a corner and the screen cracked.

Can you use it and just get a new part or what?

No, I had to leave it at the computer place.

I know that place and it's good. They'll fix it fast and I bet it'll be better than new.


I am so upset.  I dropped my laptop on my way to Biology today.

Did it break?

It did.  It doesn't start now and there's a dent on the body.

Are you going to fix it?

I am going to take it back to the store and get it repaired.  I won't have a computer until it's fixed.

You can borrow mine until you get it back.


Context: Aubrey was driving on the way home and noticed a astray cat so Aubrey kept the cat.

On my way home last night I saw a stray cat on the side of the road, so I took it home with me.

Aw, are you going to keep it permanently?

I think so. I'm already growing attached to it.

Do you have any other pets?

I do have a cat, but so far they seem to be getting along.

That's good. Now your cat will have a friend.


I have the craziest story.  You know how I always drive down Columbia Street to get home?

Yes, I know that street.

Well, I saw that there was a stray cat by the side of the road.

Did you stop to see if it was ok?

Yeah, and it jumped right in the car.  I decided to keep it!

Congratulations on your new pet!


Context: Carson always admired their clothes and wanted to buy the same clothes but had to get a job to make money.

Damn it.

What?

I really like their clothes, but to buy the same clothes I need a job and to make some cash.

Yeah, nice things cost money.

Yup, I'm going to make it one day though.


I really want to get a nice business suit, like the ones they are wearing.

Well, go shopping and buy one.

I don't have the money.

Well, go get a job.

I don't have a suit to wear to the interview.

Perhaps you can make money writing a novel.


They always have the coolest clothes. Can you take me shopping sometime so I can try find the same ones?

Sure! You want to buy the same kind of clothes?

I do. They look expensive, though. Are they?

A little expensive, but they're good quality and well made.

I'd better get a job and start making some money.

Definitely. And then you'll have cool clothes to wear to your new job!


The guys across the hall for me always have the best clothes.

I have seen those guys. They're pretty stylish.

I wanted to be able to dress more like that but couldn't afford those clothes.

I think he goes to those shops downtown.

Well I have a job now. I can go to those shops downtown too.

And then you'll be the cool stylish one.


Context: Remy was having a birthday party that Saturday. Remy invited all of his friends over to attend.

I am celebrating my birthday on Saturday.

What is your plan?

I would like to invite all my friends to join me.

Am I invited as well?

Of course you are.

I will wait to hear from you then.


I'm having the birthday party on Saturday. I hope all my friends can come.

How many people have you invited?

Including you, there's 20.

Wow, that's going to be a big group. Do you want me to bring anything?

You could bring a bottle of wine if you want.

Sounds good. I'll see you Saturday.


Context: Aubrey was driving when she suddenly got a flat tire. Aubrey decided to pull over and check it out.

What a day!

What happened?

I got a flat tire while driving.

Flat tires are the worst!

I pulled over and saw my front right tire was flat.

Who did you call for help?


Got a flat tire earlier today.

Oh no that stinks, what did you do?

I just pulled over to look at it. It looked flat but not all the way.

What happened, did you have to call a tow truck or something?

Yeah, I did. But he took so long and in the meantime somebody came to help me and changed it himself! I was so happy.

That's cool.


I freaked out because I got a flat tire while driving over here.

Oh my God. Did you change it yourself?

Yeah. I pulled over to check it out.

Thank God you were able to pull over in time.

Yeah. My rims are ok, and I had the jack and spare tire.

Well just know that you can call me if you ever need me to help in a situation like that.


Context: Robin gave them money for lunch. They liked to buy from the cafeteria.

I had to give them all money for lunch, cost a me a fortune!

You're so generous.

I would hate to starve so I did what I had to.

I suppose they did put you in awkward situation, you can't really say no otherwise you're the bad guy.

Yeah, that's what sucks about it.

Next time say you forgot your wallet.


I am going broke with buying lunch for them, but they are happy.

That's what matters most.

I know but if I pack lunch for them then I can save a ton.

But then you waste it since they don't eat it and its gets dumped.

You're right. I guess its easier just to buy lunch anyway.

Love and happiness always has a price attached to it.


The cafeteria is good and everything, but I don't understand why they hype it up so much.

I like to eat in the cafeteria too, to be honest.

Well, I had to give them money as well, all for substandard food.

You can't say no when someone asks you a favour, can you?.

Sadly, no.

You'll be broke in no time.


I was so busy this morning, I forgot to pack the kids lunch.

Did you just give them some money.

Yeah, the like to buy lunch from the cafeteria anyway, they don't like the healthy ones that I make.

They are happy to have a change of something different.


Context: Quinn wasn't feeling well so he let the hosts know he wouldn't be able to attend the party.

I don't like being around people if I'm not 100%.

Explain what you mean.

I wasn't feeling good so I told the people throwing the party I can't make it.

It's better to rest when you are sick.

Exactly man.


I'm sorry to do this, but I'm going to have to opt out of the party.

I'm sorry to hear that. Did you let the hosts know?

I'm actually not feeling so well. I think I might have the flu. I've let them know, so they know that I won't be attending

I'd rather you take care of yourself than get everyone at the party sick, so I understand why you don't want to attend. I hope you feel better!


I'd better not come tonight.

Why what's going on?

I don't feel very well, and with the flu going around it's probably best if I stay home.

Oh no, I'm so sorry! Thanks for doing the right thing though. I'm sure the hosts will be understanding. Are you going to get tested?

Well I'm going to wait a couple of days and see if I feel better or worse. But for now I'm just going to hunker down here.

That's a good idea. I hope you don't have it! But if you do, at least you know you're good after that!


Context: Casey saw her doll in Addison's room, so Casey took the doll back and ran home.

I knew Addison stole my doll and I knew right where it was.

He was talking about it last week, actually.

I cant believe he would resort to stealing my favourite doll from me

Just don't invite him into your house anymore I guess


It was my doll in Addison's room and that is why I took it! Why did he even have it in the first place?

It's such a cute doll, but Addison had no right to take it from you like that.

I swear the guy must be a kleptomaniac.

Just be a bit more wary of him from now on.

Yeah, sure will be.

Do you mind if I play with your doll for a bit?


Context: Taylor acted as Remy's agent in the business deal so that he would be treated fairly.

I think having Taylor acting as my agent really helped get me a better business deal.

Taylor does have some business experience.

He also seems to have some acting experience as well. Taylor was really believable as my agent.

That's great that the business deal turned out great.

It did. I'm going to give him a gift to show my gratitude.

Sounds fair as a payment for your agent.


Context: Quinn used Casey's hand to help Casey practice drawing, by guiding it across the paper.

Me and Casey used a new technique today to help her with drawing practice.

Oh cool, is it that method you've been telling me about?

Absolutely, I used her hand and made it follow a certain direction across the paper.

I will take all the tips and tricks you have, if it works on Casey.

It worked with my other pupils so it should be good with you too.

Casey is going to become a pro in no time.


I was teaching Casey how to draw last night.

She is getting better with drawing the faces.

I have been taking her hand and guiding it across the paper, to show her how I do it.

You have such patience with her, most people would not take the time


Casey has a lot to learn, but today we took a step in the right direction.

Are you trying to improve her drawing?

Indeed, I used this technique I saw online where you guide their hand across the paper.

Yeah, that sounds like a good idea.

Especially as we're practicing shapes at the moment, it will really help her.

You're a great coach.


I had my first drawing class today and met the sweetest person, Casey.

Oh, did you teach her anything valuable?

I used her hand to draw on the paper, so that she could get a feel of how it's done.

I've never heard of that but sounds fun.

It's genuinely the best way to learn if you're using pencils.

Maybe I'll give it a go as well at some point.


I ran out of ideas to teach Casey, until it struck me that I could quite literally guide her hand whilst drawing.

Yes, that way you can get the picture to look the way she wants it.

So you start by taking the hand and sketching out the base of your drawing, then you fill it in using colours.

That's interesting, how did it turn out for her?

It made a massive difference, compared to when I left her on her own.

Fancy showing me as well?


Context: Taylor laid around and fell asleep. She woke up late for work.

I fell asleep last night, I was exhausted.  I couldn't wake up this morning.

Were you late for work?

I was. I forgot to set my alarm and I was too tired to wake up on my own.

Did you go to work?

I called in and my colleagues I was running late.  They seem cool.

That's good they are understanding.


Oh no, I am so fired. I need to jump in the shower and get to work!!

Well, hurry up. I can drop you off.

I knew not to hang around so long with you.

Those shots did us in.

Not only that. It was the stupid video games too.

Well, if you get fired then we can do more shots and finish our game.


Context: Sasha hated her neighbours dog as it barked all day and night so after going to the shop and buying poisonous slug pellets, Sasha gave the dog some pills.

I hate my neighbours' dog. It doesn't ever stop barking.  It barks all day and night.

How do you get any sleep?

I don't.  It keeps me up most nights.

What are you going to do about that?

I went to the shop and bought some poisonous slug pellets. I gave the dog some of the pills.

You poisoned the dog?


I feel really bad right now.

Why, what happened?

My neighbor’s dog has been barking nonstop all day and night so I...did something about it.

What? What did you do???

I bought some poisonous slug pellets and gave the dog some pills.

Wow, way to go. You killed a dog for barking. You must be real proud of yourself.


I dont know how this dog is going to stop barking

yeah he for sure is making a lot of unwanted noise.  It is a true inconvience for many

there has got to be some way to make him stop

What ideas do you have?

I think I will give him a pet friendly sedative

That is a really good idea


I have not sleep in days!! I have had it with that dog so I took matters into my own hands.

What the hell did you do, Sash?

I have been warning my neighbor about leaving their stupid dog in the yard all night. It barks and barks and barks.

What a bunch of dumb-asses! Did you call the cops?

I call the cops, animal control and friends of pets but it was useless. So I handled it with my little friend over here.

Sash, that is so mean. You should use it on the neighbors not the dog!!


Context: Aubrey could not allow the memory of her parents to be forgotten admist all the crazyness that happened in the war, she strived for it be remembered and in the end, she did it justice.

I will try hard to keep the memory of my parents alive.

Nice, it's saddened they died with the war.

Yeah, I planned to keep the memory fresh.

And did you?

Yeah, for it to be remembered, I did justice.

That's Nice, you are so brave.


The statue turned out just perfect.

Your parents would be proud of you, that you have kept their memory alive and what they did to get you out of the country.

They died to save me.

You were everything to them.

I know, I hope that this reminds others of the sacrifices that many in the war made.


I created an memorial for my parents to savour their memories.

That's sweet of you. What made you do it?

I thought my parents deserved better memories than those cluttered with war.

That's good. I wouldn't want my parents memories to be clouded with thoughts of war either.


Context: Carson pulled the baby away from the road when a car was about to hit the baby.

I helped a baby today and I was proud of myself.

What happened? Tell me more.

I pulled a baby away from the road when a car was about to hit the baby.

Really? That's some hero stuff there man.

Yeah, it was a good act and the kid was very adorable.

Sure, I'm also proud of you my friend.


Last night a baby almost got hit by a car.

What happened?

We were walking to the store and this car came out of nowhere and was about to hit her.

Good thing she had you to pull her out of the road, so she didn't get hit.

I pulled that girl up right before she could get hit.


I had a scare today, my baby almost got hit by a car!

Oh my God! Is he ok? Please tell me he's ok!

Yes, it's fine. You know how fast babies can wander, he was out on the front lawn with me, and he got right to the street before I knew it.

And you grabbed him just before he got hit?

Yes, it was a pretty close call. The car wouldn't have seen him due to the trees near the street.

I'm just glad your baby is ok, that's a very scary situation.


Oh my god, dude, I just saved a baby.

What, like in a video game?

No, dude, this baby was in the middle of the road and about to be hit by a car.

What happened?

I had to run out and grab it, it was just before the car would've hit it. I'm trying to find its parents, now.

Wow, you're a hero. Let me know if I can help!


Context: Kendall developed and tested a theory, despite years of being mocked by their colleagues.

My theory worked.

You tested it?

Yes, after years of being mocked by my colleagues, I've proved them wrong.

I'm so proud of you.  You never gave up.

It took years, but I finally did it.

We need to go out and celebrate.


I believe in the scientific method.

Your colleagues don't believe in it.

Some of my colleagues have mocked me for years.

Have you gotten the better of them?

I developed and tested a theory and I proved it.

You can't argue with the scientific method.


Those fools, short-sighted colleagues of mine. For years they laughed at me, well who's laughing now!

I always believed in your theories, I knew you could do it.

This should prove everything they doubted about me.

How did you manage to get this done considering you were on your own?

Pure genius, my friend.

And self belief I guess.


Context: Taylor took it easy even though he had a big track meet coming up next week.

I can't do that hike with you tomorrow.

How come?

I have a big track meet next week and have to save my legs, I'm going to take it easy.

You're not going to work out until then?

Oh, sure, but hard hiking uses your muscles differently.

I didn't know that.


I have a big track meet next week.

Did you train well?

I trained well. But, I've been taking it easy over the past week.

Why didn't you train hard over the past week?

I want my muscles to relax. I don't want a muscle strain to occur right before the track meet.

I understand. Take it easy.


I have been skipping track practice all week.

Why have you been skipping practice, don't you need it?

I am the star on my team. I'm resting so I can be in good shape at our next meet.

Shouldn't you be practicing for the next meet if it's important?

I want to save my strength. I'm just taking it easy.

You know what they say. Practice makes perfect.


Context: Casey was making Jesse's wedding dress. At first it didn't fit so Casey had to make a few adjustments according to what Jesse wanted.

I think this dress will fit Jesse after I fix the waist.

Let her try it on real quick to know how it feels.

I'm not giving it back until it's perfect.

That's some good work ethic, but it's already looking amazing.

Looks more comfortable too.


I'm finally coming to the finish line with this wedding dress.

So you're putting on the final touches now?

Yes as I did the fitting yesterday. Should be good for Jesse.

How did that go?

I had to make a few adjustments but nothing else.

I can't wait to see her in the final product on her wedding day.


It looks like Jesse lost weight for her wedding. I'll take the dress in a little here.

The dress is beautiful. I still can't believe she's getting married.

Yeah. Just a week away! I hope she doesn't lose any more weight.

The ceremony and all the plans, only for the dress not to fit. That would be heart-breaking.

Well the dress will be ready and beautiful and everything will be perfect.

I hope so!


Context: Addison discussed these direction in detail to her friend, since the cabin was off the main roads.

I had to give very detailed directions to my friend

Was the place very far?

No, it's that it was off the main roads so it was hard to find.

Oh, glad they found the cabin though.


It is pretty simple, my friend just had to follow the directions.

Why didn't you take her there? She could have gone missing.

I just didn't have time, plus it's a bit of an adventure to go off the main roads.

Where is she going again?

To a cabin in the woods, for holiday.

Exciting.


I told my friend that we would have to depend on the landscape to find the cabin.

I still don't understand why there isn't a map to it.

Because all my family knows where it is by heart. It's just off the main road.

There is a lot of forest there to drive around. You should have helped her out.

Don't make me feel guilty.

I'm not! I'm just saying she might get lost.


The cabin is off the main road, I don't know what was so hard for my friend to understand.

Did she get there alright?

Yeah, but I had to sit there for a good forty minutes explaining how to get there and what roads to avoid.

Are you going as well?

I will meet her there once I get this assignment done.

I see.


Context: Skylar sailed using the wind even though there had been many warnings about the danger of the storm.

I am grateful that I didn't need to be rescued out there.

Didn't you see the storm warnings before going out?

I did. I just wanted to be out on the water and feel the wind. It was stupid.

Girl, we could be reading about you in the papers today. I'm glad you didn't need to be rescued too.

I will never do anything that stupid again.

Good. You live and you learn.


It was so exciting to go through all the winds and such.

I heard it is pretty dangerous, did you not listen to the warnings?

It most definitely was, but I live on the edge of danger

I know, you're crazy.

I'm going to ride into the storm again for sure.


Context: Kendall threw Sydney into prison and had to go back to the office for file work.

Kendall is a backstabbing liar.

What are you doing back in here?

So, she said I was leaving today and then she threw me back into prison after lunch.

Where did she go?

In her office, to file work.


I'm going to have to make this brief because the prison times your phone calls.

The prison? Are you calling me from prison?

Yeah, I was hoping you could post my bail. Kendall threw me in here last night for drunk driving. She's gone back to the office so I can't even persuade her.

You were drinking and driving?

No, Kendall's just out to get me. The bail amount is $500. Can you post it?

Okay, fine. Just this once!


Context: Jan brought Jesse to the doctor after they were ill for several days in a row.

I've been working on taking care of Jesse for the last couple days.

That's good to hear you doing things for others.

Jesse came down with an illness. At first it didn't seem too serious but the symptoms persisted after 3 days.

A couple of days is about when I would get worried myself.

I decided to take her to the doctor and it turned out she had a fever of 104 degrees.

Wow, that seems really high. It's a good thing you took action when you did.


I have been so worried about Jesse. I am so glad she finally agreed to come with me to the doctor.

I don't know why you have to bring her there, it's only a small cold.

It's been days that she's ill, I was left with no choice.

Sometimes you just need a good old rest, not a doctor.

At least we now know that it is not anything serious.

Yeah, still Jesse is very lucky to have someone as caring as you.


Context: Remy spent the night in the hospital.  They had a heart attack.

I nearly died last night.

I'm glad you're alive. What happened?

I had a heart attack. I was rushed me to hospital.

Thank God someone was around!

Yes. I had someone also sat by my bed the whole night.

Are you feeling better now?


Context: Riley was one of the people who prepared the food for the reception party after the wedding.

Did you enjoy the food for the reception party after the wedding?

Sure! I ate a whole lot of it.

Oh good, I prepared the food.

Wow! you are such a great cook

Thanks!


I prepared all of the food for the reception after her wedding.

I think you found a new line of work.

Everyone said the food was the best they ever had. Really shocked I haven't gotten calls to cater anything else.

You need to market your business. Facebook or any other means of doing so.

You're right. I need to put it out there!

Use her as a reference if you get calls. Maybe some of the guests will give you references on how the food tastes.


I was one of the people who prepared food for the reception party after the wedding.

What kind of food did you prepare?

Several types of finger food.

Were they difficult to make?


I made all the reception food for the wedding, not to brag or anything.

It was really good. Especially that crab dip.

I'm glad you liked it. I made it especially for the groom who loves the stuff.

Everyone was talking about how good the food was . Now I can tell them to thank you for it.


Context: Casey was grading a paper that put effort in to the length. They took it into account.

This student wrote a 12 page paper when I only asked for a 3 page minimum.

That is way too long. Are you going to give the student extra credit for writing so much?

It's an ok paper, but repetitive. However , he did go above and beyond. I guess I will give him some extra points for extra work.

That is nice of you. I'm sure he will be happy to hear see that .


I was dealing with this one student today who I kind of felt bad for.

Why did you feel badly for them?

Well I was looking at their paper and it was really a terrible paper.

So did they not follow instructions?

No it was not even that, they followed instructions and made it very long. I feel like I should make the grade at least a B.

That makes sense to me.


I've been grading papers for the last couple of days. This one paper put in extra effort, I can tell.  It was much better than the rest.

It was a stand out.

There's always one of those.

The person deserves bonus points.

We are not awarding bonus points on this paper.

The person should get a star at least.  I used to get those from my elementary teachers when I was younger.


Context: Aubrey went to the home improvement store but they no longer had the items on sale that they had seen the week before.

I was so disappointed when I had got there, all the items I wanted were gone.

Not even the coffee table you really wanted?

Nope, and it looks like the faucets I wanted aren't on sale anymore either.

Unfortunately that's the way it goes with sales, you have to act fast.

That's too bad. Do you know if there will be a sale again?

I don't know, but look out for black Friday because that's happening soon!


I just came from the home improvement store.

What did you get?

Just a few things that I wanted to buy.

At least they were in stock.

Yeah, but they were no longer on sale like they were the week before.

That's why I like to buy things on sale even when I don't need it.


The stuff I was looking for in the sale isn't available anymore.

You should've just bought it on Amazon.

I don't know, they don't have the exact same stuff.

That's where I buy everything.


Context: Riley understood the ambiguity around Quinn and felt more informed when they got a chance to get to know each other.

I am so confused about Quinn, but then we sat down and had a coffee and it was all sorted.

He's a very ambiguous person, you just have to get on his level.

I understand. I felt like I got to know him on a different level after today.

You two are going to be best friends.

Looks like it, we might have a good bond.

Good for you.


You know how I used to think Quinn was odd?

Oh yeah I remember you mentioned him to me.

Well I got to know him better last weekend

Cool how was he?

He was more normal than I thought now that I talked to him, he is fine.

That's great, must feel good to know that now.


I am just getting to know Quinn.

Quinn can be mysterious.

There is some ambiguity about Quinn and I wanted to know more about her.

What did you do?

I felt more informed when I got to know her better.

Better decisions are based on more information.


Context: Addison knew Robin owed them money. Addison got to see Robin at work.

I once lent Robin some money.

That was nice of you to help him.

Yes, but I need him to pay me back.

Of course, that is understandable.

That is the reason why I went to his job.

I hope he paid you there.


I know it was uncalled for, but I showed up at Robin's work to get what she owed me.

That must have been so embarrassing for her.

It was the only way to get her attention, by the looks of it.

Well did you get what you wanted?

Kind of.

Good.


I can't figure out what's wrong with Robin

Why do you say that?

He owes me money but it's like he does not want to pay me back

But I thought he earns well.

That's why I went to see him at his work place to demand for my money

I hope you got what belongs to you


Robin still owes me money, but I'm confident she'll be able to pay me back.

What makes you say that, since she still hasn't paid you anything?

I got to see Robin at work. She's really good at what she does and she'll be able to earn enough to pay me back in no time.

It's always a bad idea to loan friends money, in my opinion.


I hope Robin pays me back the money she owes me today

Just go visit her at work and ask her

I already went and had a chat, she said to wait until next week.

Sounds to me like you're letting her walk all over you.

No it's nothing like that, I trust her.


Context: Jan called Aubrey's girlfriend to check up on how Aubrey was doing after the car accident.

I called Aubrey's girlfriend to check up on the condition Aubrey is in after her accident.

What accident?

Aubrey was involved in a really bad car accident.  She completely wrecked her car and two other cars involved in the accident.

That's horrifying.  How's she doing?

I am not sure. I think she's in the hospital.

How many days has it been?


I can't believe Aubrey had that car accident, I couldn't even get through to her.

Oh my god, did you manage to speak to a relative?

I only spoke to her girlfriend, she says she's fine but needs time to recover.

How long before she's out of hospital then?

Should be at least a month.

Let me know once she's feeling better.


Did you hear that Aubrey was in a car accident last week?

No I didn't, is he okay?

Well, I called Aubrey's girlfriend to check up on him. She said he was doing a little better but still in a lot of pain.

That's awful, did he end up breaking any bones?

She said he has a broken leg and is in a cast for a few weeks.

Well, I hope he gets well soon and makes a speedy recovery!


Context: The garage needed to be cleaned out to have a sale. Jan played a part in this process of getting it cleaned up.

Oh boy am I tired.

Why are you so tired?

I was cleaning out the garage all day, and I did not realize the amount of stuff in there

Doing some spring cleaning?

Kind of, we're doing a garage sale for my church tomorrow, so I'm deciding what I should get rid of

What a great idea, killing two birds with one stone


I've cleaned up the garage, ready for the weekend.

Are you having the sale this weekend?

That's the plan!

Can I help you sell stuff?

it's a lot of work, there's a huge mess to sort through

I'm capable enough


I had to help cleaning out the garage today.

For chores?

No, my family is participating in the block garage sale.

Oh I love garage sales. When is it?

This weekend. So we had to finish the clean-up by today.

I might come and do some shopping!


I had a garage sale today.

How did it go?

We made some sales, but the hardest part was cleaning out the garage to make it happen.

It's hard to make sales when you're surrounded by junk.

Very true. I threw away more stuff than I sold.

No one wanted to buy your garbage?


Context: Aubrey thought of Remy almost every day, even though they were long gone.

Aubrey still chats with me every day.

Is this your friend from another state?

Yeah, I'm still in her daily thoughts even though I moved across the country five years ago.

Are you more like family than like friends?

Yes, I don't even keep in touch with my parents that closely.

You guys must have a special bond.


I'm really missing Aubrey these days.

I thought you haven't talked to her in years.

I haven't, not since I moved away twenty years ago.

So what's making you think of her now?

She sent me an email saying she thinks of me almost every day.

That's so sweet of her.


I talked to Aubrey yesterday, and she was very sad that we moved.

You can call and email her to stay in contact.

I have been in contact with her lately.

How does she feel about your move?

She says that she thinks about me everyday.

I hope that you stay in contact with her.


Context: ash realized he was about to run out of gas so he put fuel in the car.

I was on the highway and it struck me that I had almost no gas left in the tank.

Did you make it through?

Just about, thankfully the next station was 3 miles away.

Close call.

Plus this pick up truck goes through gas like manic.

That's the thing about big cars.


I was driving home the other night and I realized my gas light was on.

Did you manage to get gas before you ran out?

Yes, fortunately I was only a couple of miles away from a gas station. But I think I was running on fumes by the time I got there.

Good thing you didn't run out of gas somewhere and get stuck.

Yeah, but I really need to pay more attention to my gas gauge and not risk running out.


Oh wow, it's crazy how low the fuel was in the car and yet I still managed to make it to the house.

It has been a hell of a day.

It really has. I was  going run out of fuel right on the road but there was a cannister in the house.

And you trusted that?

I had no choice.

I suppose.


I just checked the fuel gauge, and the car's almost out of gas.

There's a gas station just up the road.

Great--I'll stop there...

You want me to get you something inside while you fill the tank?

Get me a coke.  I'm just about done.

I'll be right out.


Context: Jesse rode a roller coaster at the fair. They should know they are in danger.

That roller coaster at the fair was so scary.

It looked really dangerous, you rode it?

Yeah, it was shaking the whole time.

I would never ride a fair roller coaster, they're built in a day.

I didn't know that.

Now you know they're dangerous.


I realised I was in danger when I rode the fair's roller coaster!

I dislike roller coasters!

I was so scared, it felt so jittery as well!

I got scared too, it was the first and last time I'll ever go.


Hey I just rode the rollercoaster at the fair and it was scary.

Yea man, its a fair you should know the dangers

Yea but it's a coaster it looks so much fun to ride.

Yea but you take your own risk riding any rides at a fair


God saved me today.

What's up?

I rolled a roller coaster at the fair, I wasn't good at riding it, they should know they were in danger.

Oh jheeze, that was dangerous.

Yeah, I just wanted to give it a try.

Don't give unnecessary try next time.


Context: It took a lot of time, but Robin finally reached Tracy's level.

It is about time that Robin reached my level.

What do you mean? Robin has always been better than you in this game.

Yeah right, she doesn't have any idea of how long it took her.

You're just jealous because she's now at the same level as you.

You need to get your facts right.


I am so proud of Robin this week!

Why? What did she do?

It took her a long time, but she has finally reached the same level as me at work!

No way, I know how hard you both were working trying to get her to the next level.

Yes, exactly, hard work does pay off!

That it does my friend, that is does.


I don't take for granted how skilled I am.

You are a pretty humble person, Tracy.

It took a lot of years to master mathematics.

I imagine it's very tough. Robin is highly skilled in math as well.

Yes, I would say he's finally reached my level after several years.

I'm sure it was extremely difficult for him to do that.


Context: Bailey was having a difficult time finding a good job, but Tracy offered Bailey an opportunity.

Bailey was so excited when I told her about the management opening at our company.

Hasn't she been looking for a good job for a long time?

Yes, and I think she will be perfect for the position in our office.

I am sure she really appreciated you helping her get the job.

We have been friends since elementary school so I was happy I could do it.

You are truly a loyal friend!


Context: Even though Cameron was deep in denial, Sydney made Cameron accept their diagnosis.

I didn't want to believe what was happening. I wanted to stay in denial.

What couldn't you believe?

I didn't want to accept my diagnosis, Sydney had to convince me.

What were you diagnosed with?

I have a rare medical condition.


How's it going?

I'm doing okay, but I am somewhat concerned about what Sydney said.

Why all the worry? I can't help this.

Yeah but are you ok with everything?

I finally better just accept things so I can move forward, thanks to Sydney's comments.

I'll be here for you no matter what.


Context: Taylor really liked Sasha, so he asked her on a date.

I finally asked Sasha out on a date! We're going to dinner this weekend.

I thought you were going to stay away from relationships and focus on your work.

I was going to, but I really like Sasha.

If she agreed to go out to dinner with you, she must like you too.


I really like this girl Sasha and I finally asked her out on a date.

That's awesome. Where are you going?

I'm taking her out to dinner on Friday.

Very nice. Dinner always makes a good first date.

I agree. Easy for conversation, but also natural little breaks to eat.

Exactly. You'll have to let me know how it goes.


Context: After learning that Cameron was trying to have an affair with their husband, Quinn tried to kill Cameron.

I need a lawyer and bail money.

That sounds really bad.

I learned Cameron was trying to have an affair with my husband.

Did you revert to violence?

I tried to kill him.

It can't get any more violent than that.


Context: taylor was a guide, he led aubrey and her team up the mountain.

I led Aubrey and her team up the mountain yesterday.

Did it go well?

Yes, there were some very experienced climbers, so it went quickly.

That's good, I remember that one group you brought up who had three injuries.

Yes, that was a terrible group to lead!

You should have minimum skill requirements to go up that mountain.


We had a great time hiking the mountain over the weekend.

Aubrey told me she had a blast.

Yeah, I was the guide for her team and helped them find the best route up and down.

That's good to hear. Aubrey told me she felt safe knowing you were leading everybody.

I'm glad they had confidence in me.


You'll never believe who I led up the mountain last weekend?

I'm not sure I could guess, but it must be someone I know.  Who?

Aubrey!  She was there were a group of college friends.

Wow, I haven't seen her in ages.  How is she?

She's great, really enjoying college life.  She and her friends really enjoyed the hike, too.

That's all great to hear.  Let me know if you see her again.


Context: Jesse selected the thing that was best for you even tho Jesse knew you hated spinach with a passion.

I am going to bring a spinach dish for the potluck.

I hate spinach.

It's so good for you though.  It's packed with vitamins.

I've heard all that from my mom and doctor.  They are both trying to get me to eat more vegetables.

Add me to that list.  You need to eat more vegetables.  You eat nothing but hotdogs and buns and ketchup.

Ketchup counts as a vegetable, right?  It's made from tomatoes.


Context: Aubrey lost her necklace at the park, but Bailey helped her find it.

I found a necklace at the park.

Do you know who it belongs to?

Yes. It is Aubrey's. She complained to me that she lost her necklace at the park.

Then you found it. That is so nice of you

Thanks by the way

Now go get Aubrey.


Aubrey lost her necklace.

She lost it at the park.

I will help her find it.

Hopefully yes. Tell her we will go there.

I called the police to help.

I found it, Bailey!


I was a hero today.

Did you save someone’s life?

I sort of did that.

It’s either you did or you didn’t.

Aubrey lost her mom’s necklace and I helped her find it.

So if she didn’t find it she was going to die, is that what you’re saying?


Context: Jordan told Bob that they would take them for a drink if they won.  Jordan held up their end of a deal.

Bob won the game. I had told him I would take him out for drinks so that's what we did.

What game?

He played football in college. Their team won.

What position does he play?

He's the quarterback.

Wasn't he the quarterback in high school too?


Did I tell you I lost my game last night?

What was the final score?

4-3 and I had a bet with Bob that I would buy him a drink if he won.

I am sure he made you honour that bet.

It worked out because we stopped at the bar around the corner and they had late night drink specials.

Next time you're there give me a call and I'll join you.


Well, I guess I lost that bet with Bob. Teaches me not to get in these situations.

I still can't believe that he won, it was such a close game and his team won by a last minute winner.

The bet was so much fun, I'm mad I lost but we laughed it off over a drink I owed him in the end.

Good stuff.


I went for a drink with Bob the other night.

Really? That's not like you.

I know! But I promised to take him for a drink if we won.

You and your promises.

Yes, and I held up my end of the deal.

Now THAT sounds like you.


Context: Riley and Sydney went for a hike. Sydney tripped and Riley made fun of Sydney for tripping.

You should have seen her! She fell and started rolling around down the mountain.

Were you not worried?

I couldn't help it. It was kind of funny. But then I went over to check Sydney was actually alright.

Did you manage to make it to the top of the mountain?

Yeah, she was in pain after the trip but then it was all good..

Congratulations.


I think Sydney is mad at me.

Why would she be mad at you?

She fell down and I laughed at her, whilst on that hike I told you about.

I'd be mad if you laughed at me too.

It was really funny though.

It probably wasn't funny to her.


Sydney got so mad at me and called me immature.

Why did she call you immature?

Well she was hiking and tripped while going up the trail and I started laughing.

Why did you laugh did you at least help her when she tripped?

Yes, I did but it was knee jerk reaction and I couldn't help but laugh.

I hope she wasn't hurt after she tripped while hiking.


Context: Jesse was Skylar's boyfriend. Jesse impressed Skylar's parents when he went to dinner at their house.

I think that I really impressed Skylar's parents last night at dinner.

Yeah, I think you did Jesse. They seemed really impressed when they spoke about you.

I am so glad that they approve of my job as an engineer.  I can provide well for Skylar.

I think so too. But it's not just about the money.

They also liked that I could speak 2 other languages and that I'm very outgoing.

Only time will tell, but they seemed happy with you.


Skylar took me over to meet her parents last week.

What were they like?

They are really nice. We all had dinner together and talked about what we all do for a living.

Do you think you made a good impression?

I feel like I did. They kept telling Skylar she had found a good catch.

That is great news. I am glad it is working out for you guys.


Bro, I was freaking terrified going to Skylar's parents' house.

How terrified? Like seen a ghost terrified or didn't study for an exam terrified?

Honestly, a combo of both, but I'd humbly like to say I aced it thanks to my scheme!

What did you do?

I told them I was an astronaut in training and I could fly an air force 1 jet.

You only left out the Microsoft flight simulator part, that's smart.


Context: Casey bought a car from a friend and it was a red car with some dents in it.

Do you like my new red car? It may have some dents in it but it is a beast.

Yes I love sports cars.  Did you get a discount because of all of the dents?

I got it for a fair price from a friend. No worries there.  Do you want to go for a spin?

Hell yeah Casey.  Let's go.  Show me what she's got.


The car I bought has some dents in it.

Who did you get it from?

I got it from a friend of mine.

What colour is it?

Red

Well it should be okay with the dents.


I just got something new.

What did you get?

A  red car that I bought from a friend but it has some dents in it.

Congrats on the new car.

Thanks, I'll be driving around the block.


I finally have a working car!

Oh nice.  Where'd you get it?

My friend was selling it.  It runs well.

What's it look like?

It's red.  It's nice with only a few small dents.

Now I'll be able to meet you at the mall instead of having to pick you up.


Context: Austin was in a rage while  driving so he maintained the speed at the highest level.

I sped the whole way here.

Why would you do that?

It was emotional. I was angry while driving.

What made you so mad?

Someone cut me off and almost caused a crash.

So your response was to continue the cycle of recklessness?
