I am going to try to stay on top of it next time, that's for sure.

At least you have a super clean fridge to use now.

No, it's definitely going away now...

Good. I opened the kitchen window so we're getting the cross breeze now.

No problem, we're making pretty good time so I'm in no rush.

I don't mind going slow, as long as we get there safe and in one piece.

That's my number one focus, I want to ensure our safety.

Thank you for being such a responsible and good driver.


How was the drive up?

It was ok, took our time considering the conditions were bad and I was on the look out for anything in the road that shouldn’t be there.

Good on you! Better to arrive later and in one piece than try rushing here and risking an accident.

Exactly!

You hear of some many terrible driving accidents on the news these days.

I know, I had no intention of letting that happen to us.


Wow that storm did a lot of damage last night! There's so much debris on this road.

I know right? I would have been freaked out if I was the one driving.

Hopefully the drive back will be a lot easier for us!

Well, It can't hurt, can it? Hm. Actually these shoes are really tight. It really does hurt. No wonder Skylar is so bitter about life.

Did you fall on your head as a child or were you just born that way?


I kinda get why Skylar is so bitter all the time.

Oh yeah, and why's that?

I was chatting with her and she told me how tough she has it, she has so many things on her plate and she's having to deal with it all on her own.

Guess what dear?

The Riley we know? We haven't seen her in ages, is she around?

She came back from Austria last week after a 10 years hiatus

Yes it is. I can cook dinner and always have leftovers for lunch.

Great idea and awesome way to eat healthier and save.


I was planning to go out to dinner tonight but then I realized I didn't have cash.

Were you going with someone?

Jeez Robin! what did she break? What is he suing you for?

Some antiques near his bed and some family heirlooms and statues. He says the damage was my fault. If you ask me he's just a jilted lover trying to get revenge.

She was having an affair with you in her husband's house? Awkward.


This is not a frivolous lawsuit like some may think.

What is the basis of your suit?

My neighbour accused me of damage to their property.

How can they say you did that when we've been having such bad storms?

What are you talking about?

I've been trying to contact someone on the phone for over an hour about my account and I'm still on hold

That's a pretty big job, isn't it?  Remy must be a good mechanic.

He's a great mechanic.  We are talking about going into business where he will be the mechanic and I will manage the business.

I think that's a great idea, you guys will make a fortune.

I love the beach; I guess everyone's different.


What a miserable day I had. Never again, I promise you that.

You didn't have fun? How can you not have fun at the beach?

It's not my idea of a good time. It's too hot, too crowded and the sand hurts!

Wow that's excellent!

They all came to the unanimous decision that I am in fact a great cook haha.

Haha I know you are!

Maybe I should look into finding a job as a chef in a high end restaurant.


I was busy cooking for the party all night.

I loved all the food you prepared at the party.

I am glad you did.

When everyone had eaten, they uttered how great a cook you are.

That is sweet of them.

Everyone had a really fun time.


Context: Riley and friends were camping in the wood and they had lit a fire but it was starting to go out so Riley poured fuel on to keep it going.

How was the camping trip last week?

It was good but I think my friends got annoyed at me.

How come?

When the fire was going out I poured more fuel on it and nearly set myself on fire doing so.

Oh you need to be more careful, I'm sure they were not annoyed at you and just concerned for you.

Yeah maybe you're right.


Hey, don't let the fire go out guys.

The winds blowing too hard. There's no way we can keep it lit.

Do you guys have any dead wood?

Nope.

No matter. I have some lighter fluid in the car. I'll just pour that on the fire.

Great idea. Thanks for keeping us warm Riley.


The fire was going out at our camp site so I pour some fuel onto it to keep it going.

When did you go camping?

I went last summer with my friends.

Were did you guys go?

We drove up north to Yosemite. It was so nice.

That place is majestic.


Context: Remy produced a presentation to improve Casey's impression of the team that didn't seem to be working hard.

I tried to help, but it didn't work.

Casey thinks we're all a bunch of lazy dorks.

Maybe we just need to work harder.

I can't work any harder.


I'm really exhausted from staying late at the office last night.

Did you finish working on that presentation?

Yeah, I submitted it to my manager Casey this morning.

Hopefully she's impressed with your efforts.

I know. The reason I stayed late is because I want to change her impression that the team isn't working hard enough.

Well, I'm sure she will recognize that you're trying to go above and beyond.


Casey was telling me that she was having a lot of trouble with one of her teams being productive the other day.

I wonder what she is going to do about that. That has to be stressful!

I actually came up with a plan for her to try to improve their productivity.

Well hopefully it works for her.

I know I told her if it isn't working to let me know and I will try to tweak it for her.

That's really generous of you to devote your time to helping her.


Context: Despite warnings from others on protecting the information, Ash told Mike a secret.

I don't think I can keep secret.

Why is that?

I just had to spill the beans when Mike asked about the information.

Aren't you betraying someone's trust?

You can say that. I was even warned severally on keeping the information private

Let's hope Mike can keep a secret.


I think I may have really messed up.

What have you done Ash?

It's such a big secret but I had to tell someone! So I told Mike

What was it you told him exactly?

I told him about his partners affair.

Why would you do that? It's not your place to say!


Context: Remy was very overweight and was told to go on a diet but Kai caught Remy in the act of eating cookies.

Kai really upset me you know.

He brought up my weight when he caught me cheating on my diet by eating some cookies.

I'm sure he didn't mean to offend you, he's worried about you I'm sure.

Yeah maybe you're right, I haven't been very good at keeping up with this diet.


I got busted eating cookies today. I'm supposed to be on a diet.

Who busted you?

Kai and then she told everyone to watch me.

That's funny but she's doing it for your own good.

I know but this is really hard being on a diet.


Context: Remy was trying to keep from making noise. Remy kept quiet.

What time did you get in last night Remy?

Super late to be honest with you, did you not hear me come in?

no not at all.

Oh thank god, I was trying to be as quiet as possible so as not to wake you.

you were very quiet then! I'm a very light sleeper.

Oh I know, I'm glad I did disturb your sleep.


I got home really late.

How late were you?

I was really late.

Did your parents hear you come in?

No I don't think so. I was trying to keep from making noise so I kept quiet.

I guess it worked.


I had to be really quiet last night. It was pretty hard.

Why were you being so quiet?

My sister was over with her new-born who cries all the time. It was asleep so nobody made any noise.

That's a good reason to be quiet.

I hate to say it but I was glad when they left.


Context: Aubrey and Kai got into an argument yesterday because Kai betrayed her trust. She hasn't spoken to Kai today and has given him the silent treatment.

Aubrey isn't talking to me now.

Oh man, what happened?

Well, we got into a fight yesterday because I abused her trust. Now she is giving me the cold shoulder with silent treatment.

Damn, that sounds messy.

Trust me, I know.

It's ok, I'm sure you'll work it out soon.


Aubrey hasn't spoken to me all day.

You getting the slight treatment then?

So it would seem.

What did you do?

I lied to her and betrayed her trust, I hope she stops with the silent treatment soon so we can talk things over.


Context: Early this morning, Kai discovered oil was leaking from the car engine and so, he took it to the repair shop.

I took the car to our usual mechanic but I think the owner was out, it was some young guy instead.

Did they find out what was wrong?

He said something about the alternator, but honestly I didn't trust him. That wouldn't make any sense.

Are you going to get a second opinion?

Probably, but I don't know where. I want to avoid large chains but I don't know any other good shops.

Try Auto Partners on Fillmore, they've always been great with me.


I was at the auto shop today?.

Oh no, did your car break down?

No I just noticed an oil leak when I was leaving for work this morning. I was leaving early so I had time.

Oh that's great you were able to get right in.

Yeah I called them from the road so they were ready for me. They didn't think it's anything serious, and got it patched up pretty quickly.

Well that's good to hear.


Something went wrong with my car.

What happened?

Well, I walked to my car this morning and there was this pool of oil around it.

Well that can't be good!

Certainly not! Hopefully the fix doesn't cost me too much.

Fingers crossed for you.


Context: Cameron was involved in an accident while biking on the way home from school, the injury site now has a bump.

My leg hurts ever since I fell on my trip.

did you get your leg checked out.

Not yet, I don't think it was that serious of a fall.

you never know though because my dad broke his leg last week when he fell on his bike.

maybe I should get it checked out, I do have quite a nasty bump on my leg now.


Context: Sydney wanted salad for lunch. That was the healthiest thing on the menu.

Today I went to a restaurant near work for lunch. It didn't go very well at first, but turned out okay in the end.

Was it the food or service or both?

The menu had lots of yummy choices on it, but none of them were very healthy.

I'm so proud of you for trying to eat healthier foods. What did you order?

I ordered a salad, it was the only healthy item on the menu, but it was delicious!

Well, at least you know now where you can get a healthy lunch that's close to work!


Did you go out for lunch today?

I did, wanted to treat myself to a nice healthy lunch.

oh lovely! What did you get?

Just a salad but it was so yummy.

That sounds good, let me know next time you go out for lunch.

I will do of course.


Its so hard to eat healthy around here

It really is. I'm glad you finally got it under control a little bit

Me too! I used to eat like a pig.

What have you eaten today?

Just a salad so far.

Good on you for going with the healthy option!


Context: Alex and Aubrey have been best friends for their entire lives. Aubrey has gotten into college across the country. Alex helps Aubrey pack up her car.

Busy day today?

Yeah a bit, I helped Aubrey pack her car ready for college.

Nice! Did it take you guys long to pack?

Not long at all actually with the two of us doing it.

Aww that's good, are you sad to see her go off to college.

Yeah I am to be honest, I'm going to miss her so much.


I helped Aubrey pack up her car yesterday.

Really? Where is she going?

She's going off to college on the other side of the country.

Won't that be hard on you guys? You've been best friends for awhile, right?

We've been best friends our entire lives.

That's crazy! I hope you keep in touch while she's gone.


Context: Remy ran ahead of the babysitter to chase the hare and pretend to hunt with the hounds in the forest.

It was so fun pretending I was one of the dogs.

What did you guys do?

The dogs had started to chase a hare, so I joined them.

How did it go?

The dogs caught the hare and the baby sitter caught me.

I bet she wasn't thrilled about having to clean you.


Context: Sasha wanted a dog, but was not confident in controlling it.

I really want to get a dog.

Why don't you get one?

I don't know if I can handle one.

Just get a small dog.

It's not just size--it's the responsibility.

There is that; you have to devote time to them.


I have wanted a dog for so long and I think I finally found the right one.

Why don't you go ahead and get it then?

I am just worried because it's a German Shepherd and I am worried that I won't be able to control it.

I took my dog to an obedience school and I can give you the number if you want it.

I know it's important for the dog to know I am in charge so that's probably a good idea.

I think you should call and talk to my trainer because I think you will be fine with your new dog.


I really want a dog but I'm not sure if I can train it or not.

Yes you will it will just take time and patience.

You think so? I'm just a bit nervous about controlling and taking care of an animal.

You will be fine and once its done and you will love your dog


I decided against getting a dog.

Why? You really wanted to get that beagle. What happened?

Well, I did want that cute beagle, but I don't feel I would have been good enough at controlling it.

It takes time and patience to train a dog to do the things you want, it just doesn't happen overnight.

Well, I think you're right, but I don't know. Perhaps a different kind of dog?

It's possible. Just don't make rash decisions. Think about it.


Context: Quinn wasn't well liked, because they always made a lot of assumptions about everyone they came across. It was rude.

I have a terrible habit of making many assumptions about people I meet.

I find that rather rude.

I know it is. It is getting in the way of my relationships with people.

Needless to say, people who make assumptions about others are not well liked.

How can I change this?

Try to hold an honest conversation with someone to learn more about them.


I really wish I had more friends here at school. I get lonely sometimes.

I think you just need to be a little more open minded about people. You sometimes come across as uppity and rude.

I know. I get that from my mom. She always assumes people are dishonest and out to take advantage of her.

Well now that you know that you can work on not being like her. I know you're a nice person. You just need to show that side of yourself to others.

I will definitely work on that. There's a book club in my dorm. Maybe I'll join and focus on being open minded and friendly.

That's a great idea Quinn! I'll bet you have more friends than you can handle in no time.


I realized a lot of people dislike me.

What drew you to that conclusion?

I make a lot of assumptions about people. I do. Someone called me out on it and said it was rude.

Was it just one person, though?

Telling me explicitly, yes. But I did ask around to confirm.

Well, I think people should have nipped whatever's annoying them in the bud instead of stewing.


Context: Although Aubrey was older and stronger, they lost to Alex in arm wrestling.

I beat Aubrey at arm wrestling the other day.

Isn't he older than you?

Yeah, he's stronger, too.

That must have felt great.

It made me feel powerful.

Way to go! That's a terrific achievement.


I think Aubrey wants to fight me now. I beat him in arm wrestling and he's really mad.

He's a poor sport! I'm not really surprised since he goes around bullying people.

He bugged me for an hour to arm wrestle him. He kept say he was old and stronger than me.

Why did you finally do it?

Because I wanted him to go away. I figured he would just beat me and leave...but, I beat him.


Context: Ash came home late from the game that night. Ash spent the next day sleeping.

I spent most of the day asleep today.

Why were you so tired?

I went to the game last night at the stadium and wound up getting back in after 3 am.

Oh, that's really late.

And it takes a lot of energy out of you. So I didn't get up till after lunch today.

I hope you're refreshed now.


I can't believe how much I slept today.

You must have been really tired.

I came home late last night from the game.

It must have been good.

It was a good poker game. Made lots of money.

So any chance you treat me out to dinner?


The game was so fun last night.

Yeah, that comeback was insane, did you go the party afterward?

Yeah, I spent too much time there.

Did you get home late?

I did, I spend the next day fast asleep.

At least you're well rested now.


Wow, I slept the entire day away today.

You must've gotten in pretty late last night.

I did, yeah. The game went long so it was much later than usual.

Good thing you had the day off.

Yeah, but I spent it in bed. What a waste.

It's better than missing a day of work, in my opinion.


I literally slept the entire day today.

Why did you waste an entire work day?

I was out at the game last night.

That's not really an excuse though to sleep in.

Well I got home at like 2 am and there was no way to get any sleep.

I am surprised that you did not get fired to be honest.


Context: Carson attended school for three years, until they got kicked out.

I went to school for three years.

Why three years, did you drop out?

No I was kicked out.

What did you do?

I was just a brat that didn't care for education, I really regret my actions now though.


Context: Aubrey had to make Sydney explain themselves, because they were babbling with incoherent phrases.

I was wondering why I could hardly understand what Sydney was saying.

I noticed but she was babbling words to herself.

Tomorrow I can talk to her and I demand an explanation.

How irresponsible of her.

I have never seen her this way.

She may have a serious problem.


Context: Carson wanted to make sure he did the homework right so he made Jesse look it over.

I think I nailed the homework.

What makes you say that?

I was unsure initially, but then I had Jesse look it over and she said it looked great!

That's good! Jesse is the smartest in class.

You're not wrong there.

Lucky you're such good friends with one of the smartest people at our school.


Since I need all the points I can get for class I had Jesse look over my homework.

Jess is very smart so she's a great person to have.

You're right about that.

Maybe I should ask her to look over some of my stuff?

You should as it will be guaranteed that you get a good grade.

I'll send her a text and ask her.


I gave Jesse the homework we did to check it because he is the smartest in the class.

That is a good idea, Jesse really knows his math.

I really hope so, this is the last assignment of the year before the big final exam.

He has like a 97% in the class and gets A's on every test, we will be fine.

I am just worried because I am sitting on a C and close to a D.

Jesse will correct all the mistakes we made on it, don't worry about it.


Context: Once Lee became upset and started to cry, Riley stopped teasing Lee.

I must've really upset Lee.

What did you do to the poor boy now?

I was only playing around and teasing him a little but he burst into tears and is really upset at me now.

Well what did you expect? What did you say to him?

I may have tod him he smells weird and looks funny.

Well that's not very nice at all now is it? You should apologise he's a nice boy.


I was teasing Lee earlier today.

That's not very nice of you!

No, it wasn't. I stopped when he got upset.

Why did you do it?

I was just playing around I didn’t want to upset him, but he started crying and that made me feel awful.

Maybe that'll teach you to never tease him again!


Lee started crying over a little teasing yesterday. She's so sensitive.

Why were you teasing her?

She was stumbling over her words. It was just a joke and all in good fun.

It doesn't sound like she thought so. You need to be more considerate of her feelings.

I don't get why it bothered her, but I'll try to hold my tongue next time.

That's a good idea. She's not going to remain friends with you if you are always picking on her.


Oh man, I felt so bad.

What happened?

I was teasing Lee about his break up and he started to cry.

Wow, you must've really upset him.

I did. I didn't really think he cared about the girl. I stopped teasing him as soon as I realized he was in pain.

I'm sure he'll understand. You two are always teasing each other.


Context: Jan wanted to drive back home from their place but realized she left her keys on the kitchen table.

How was the drive up?

Not too bad although we had a slow start.

Why was that?

I left my keys behind and had to drive back to get them.

Haha what are you like?

I know I always forget something don't I.


Hey, can you pick me up soon?

Don't you have a car? Why can't you drive yourself home?

I accidentally left my keys on the kitchen table.

Ugh, you're so forgetful!


Oh no! I forgot my keys on the kitchen table.

So what are we going to do?

We either have to walk home or someone will have to go back and get the keys?

You better start walking back and get those car keys.

Walk with me, please.


I can't believe that I left my keys on the kitchen table.

Haha, it was so funny to see you try to start your car without the keys.

I can't believe that I did that.

Its ok it happens to the best of us, just try to remember next time.


Context: Taylor doesn't particularly enjoy the only cereal left in their cabinet. Taylor pours a lot of sugar on the cereal.

Just to let you know I used the last of the sugar.

Oh how come I thought we had loads left?

We did it I used a lot to pour onto the only disgusting cereal we had left in the house.

Why would you do that the cereal is not that bad!

It really is though! I cannot stand it.

Well next time you're out remember to pick up some more sugar then.


I hate corn flakes.

I didn't even know people still bought that.

I found some in the cabinet, so people still buy it.

It seems like a collectors item even though it's all over the place.

I had to pour so much sugar in the milk to make this even edible.

I can imagine, I'm sticking to my cinnamon toast crunch.


Did you want to finish the cereal with me?

No thanks, I am not a huge fan of cheerio's, they taste to bland.

That's okay, I don't really like them either, but I have a secret to eating them.

What is the secret?

You have to pour a ton of sugar on the cereal and than it taste great!

Maybe true, but to much sugar is really bad for you!


Have you eaten yet?

Yeah I had the last of the awful cereal we had left in the cupboard.

The Bran-flakes? I hate that stuff to, how do you eat it?

Honestly, I pour a lot of sugar on them.

Ah that explains where all the sugar has gone then.

Haha, yeah sorry about that.


Context: Carson turned up the volume in their car so that they could hear the song clearer.

I love this jam! Turn it up!!

I love that jam too but you have too much static.

I will turn it some more so we can hear it.

Carson, the static is annoying me.

Okay if I turn it up some more it will drown out the static.

Carson, my ears are bleeding!! Stop it!!


Pretty sure I made my friend half-deaf.

What do you mean?

We were listening to music and I turned the volume right up.

Was it loud?

Oh yeah! Really loud.

You should be careful or else your ears will start ringing.


Guess what they were playing on the radio today. The Beatles...stuff I haven't heard for a long time.

I love them...I listen to them all the time.

Well, I turned it up so I could hear it better and it was great!

Can't get any better driving music than that!


We were listening to some absolute gems in the car earlier.

Oh yeah, those oldies but goldies?.

you know it! We had the volume up to max setting.

That must have been loud!

it was but it was so worth it.

It's the only way to listen to the classic's really.


Context: Ash asked Casey anything on the subject to see if they were telling the truth about their knowledge but they couldn't answer the questions.

I think Ash might be on to me.

Oh no! Really?

Yeah, he was asking me all these questions and I didn't know how to answer them.

what did you do?

I just played dumb and said I didn't know to anything he asked me.

Well I highly doubt that worked well


Context: It was time to take down the tent, so Carson pulled up the stakes.

I had a great time camping and I hope we can do it again soon

for sure, maybe we can go camping again when the weather gets better.

this time I will make sure I bring my fishing rod with me so I wont be so bored

just make sure you check everything before you leave the house this time

I definitely will


Context: Kai blew up a bridge. It was being demolished.

I had another good day at work today

What did you do?

My demolition company blew up a bridge

The old main street bridge?

Yes, we're making room for the new one being built.

I can't wait for the new bridge to be done


I had a great time at work today.

Did you doing anything special?

The bridge was being demolished today. So the crew had me do the honour of pressing the button.

That must have been a lot of fun.

Yeah it was great being able to live a childhood dream.

You must have had a weird childhood.


Context: Carson threw a bone to their friend's dog that has been suffering serious hunger for days.

I need to call Animal Control.

Why must you do that?

My friend's dog has been suffering for days! They're starving the poor thing!

That is a good reason to call Animal Control.

I threw a bone to the dog.

Give the dog something more substantial and call Animal Control.


I can't believe they left this dog here with nothing to eat.

That makes no sense at all.

This is so strange because it's not like them.

Have you been feeding it?

I've been thrown bones in scraps.

You don't have any dog food?


My friends dog is looking so weak and ill.

What's wrong with him?

He's hungry, they're not feeding him properly

Why hasn't anyone fed him?

No idea! I threw a bone over to him before going to the shops to get him some proper dog food.

Maybe you should be the dogs owner and not your friend if they can't look after the poor thing.


I just kicked off at my friend.

Why did you do that?

Because he hasn't ben feeding his dog properly, it looked so hungry.

why are they not feeding it?

he claims they are but it looks worse and worse each time I see him, i gave him a bone last time.

he'll need more than just a bone if he's that hungry.


Context: Taylor was best friends with her childhood neighbor and after years of being such good friends, Taylor married the neighbor.

Did I ever tell you about how I met my husband?

No, how did you meet him?

Well, he used to be my neighbour when we were kids.

No kidding! You've known him for all these years?

Yeah, we were best friends growing up and ended up getting married after all these years!

You guys must be soul mates!


It is such a typical movie like love story, marrying my neighbour that I have been friends with since we were kids.

Yeah I don't really know of anyone else doing that.

It is also weird because we dated other people off and on for years before we got together.

You guys were just meant to be I suppose.

Yeah it feels really great to be married to your best friend.

I am so happy for you guys!


Context: Kendall did not get along with Tracy but they collaborated well in an assignment at work . The story surprised Tracy's friend.

Tracey and I did very well working together on the assignment.

Really? I thought you two were arch enemies.

Well, we weren't exactly friends but we were not enemies.

Surprised that you could collaborate with her.

We had no choice, it was a work assignment.

That's awesome Kendall!


Context: Riley was always a strict librarian, he gave no one access to the restricted section.

Kids were trying to get into the restricted section of the library again today.

Is that not allowed?.

Of course not its restricted.

Then why have a restricted section at all if people can't go into it.

Because there's many old and rare books in there!

But it’s a public library.


If I see anyone trying to get into the restricted section again I am going to lose my mind!

were they're many trying to get in?

yeah 6, the usual suspects.

Those lot are always trying to sneak past and into the restricted section.

I know it drives me up the wall.

Would have thought your strict telling off the first time would have been enough to keep them away.


Context: Cameron picked Robin up from the airport, put her luggage in the trunk, and took her home.

She had taken a trip to San Francisco to visit her sister.

Nice. Sister-bonding time.

Have you met the new kid, Barry? Oh my god...he is so good looking. He looks like a young Neil Diamond.

No, I want to meet him now, though. I suppose you already have dibs on him.

Of course, I do! I invited him to be my date for the party this weekend and he accepted.

Trust you to find the best looking guy and get a date the same day. I'm jealous!

Finders, keepers. You know what they say. I can't wait. I have to get a new outfit, for sure.

I'll go to the mall with you, when you go. I could use a new outfit, too.


I'm already putting the new moves on the new boy at school.

You and all the other girls.

That's why I have to move quick.

I don't think you were quick enough.

Why do you say that?

Because he already gave me his number.


Context: Robin activated a shadow over everyone by bringing the sad news about the dog dying that night.

Well, I'm sorry to be the bearer of sad tidings, but, last night, the dog passed away.

Oh no! I can't believe it. Poor dog!

I'm sorry. He looks like he was at peace. He passed away in his sleep. He was probably chasing rabbits in his dreams.

Man, life is so short. It really makes you think.


I want to let everyone know some sad news.

What happened?

The dog died last night.

No! how did it die?

It was hit by a car.

Oh man, that is so sad.


Context: Riley prepared for the reception. It was going to be a grand event.

The reception last night was fantastic.

Was it everything you were hoping it would be?

It was and much more! It was such a lavish event.

Oh I'm quite jealous of you now, I want to go to a grand reception like that

If you ever get the chance t go to one you have to! If I get the chance to attend another you can be my plus one.

I'll hold you to that!


How was it at the reception last week?

Absolutely fantastic, it was a great time I had so much fun.

Was it a fancy event?

It was indeed, I was all dressed up and looking my best if I do say so myself.

I'm sure you did, you have to go all out on your outfit for grand events like that.

You're not wrong there!


Last night we had the reception to welcome the incoming college president.

I saw an article about it this morning in the local news blog, looked fancy.

It was, we had a champagne and a raw bar and a quartet and there were quiet a few speeches.

Sounds wonderful, weren't you the chair of the committee planning it.

I was, we had been planning and preparing for months.

I am glad it was such a success, I think its bodes well for the incoming president.


I am so proud of this grand event tonight.

You ought to be. This reception that you prepared is amazing!

Thank you. I'm glad you liked it. I really worked hard for this

I can't wait to see everyone's expression when they come in.

I hope the big bosses with approve of it.

Yes, I'm sure they will love it.


Context: Remy failed to follow the instructions on the test. They got an f.

So I'm gonna have to do my test again.

Oh no did you fail or something?

Yeah I didn't really follow the instructions at all and ended up getting an F.

Oh no, are you actually going to prepare and follow the instructions the next time you do the test?

Yeah definitely, going to make sure I don't get an F again

Maybe in future you'll just always follow the instructions for tests.


I can't believe that I failed the test.

How did you fail the test?

I didn't read the instructions and got an F.

Did you talk to the teacher about it?

Yeah, she's not giving me a make up

Oh, that sucks.


I received an F on my test.

What happened?

I reviewed the test, and at first, I didn't understand what I did wrong.

Did you ask the teacher to explain why you received an F?

It was just a part of an outfit for a historical re-enactment.

What! I can't believe you did that!

Skylar, this is real life. You're performance has affected our team, our bonuses. We've all pulled overtime to keep our jobs and make up for you.

I worked so hard to get that role that I cant believe I got it!

I knew you would get it because you are a natural.

Why?

I'm too excited because I got the role in the play.

Whoa, that's awesome man.

I am! I will pay her back I promise.

You never have money, that's why you stole from Aubrey.

I'll figure out a way to get it to her, I promise. I don't want this to ruin mine and Aubrey's friendship.

Good luck with that.


I am so ashamed of something I did a while back.

What did you do, Remy?

You remember that time Aubrey came over to my house and she lost her wallet?

That sounds like a lot of work dealing with kids.

It was a lot of work. One kid, Taylor, I had to pay special attention to, to make sure that they stayed in place and didn't wander off.

That does not sound like a fun time corralling rowdy kids.

I actually loved the choreography part though.

Well then I guess it was a trade-off.


The Christmas pageant is by far the most fun I have working with the children.

You seem like you love it, and the children really listen to you.

Taylor was giving me a run for my money, but she kept me on my toes!

I saw that, but Taylor ended up staying in her place during the songs!

Yes she did, and that is why I do this, so I can help the children.

And that is why you are perfect for the job.


I have been giving Taylor so extra help.

Well anytime you want to take them anywhere just let me know! I could definitely use an afternoon like that again.

Yeah, they were mad over nothing too.

I think you should try to get out of the gang if you can.

I almost got in a bad car accident last night.

You got very lucky my friend.


I almost hit a deer last night!

Yikes! I've almost done that before. Was he running across the road?

No, he was just standing there in the middle. Luckily my headlights caught his eyes before it was too late.

Did you have to swerve out of the way?

No I just slammed on the brakes. I stopped maybe three feet from him. Then he nonchalantly walked away.

That's a truly fearless deer!


There was a deer crossing the street at the Parkway as I came home.

Yeah, deer cross at night a lot.

I knew they did, but I had never seen one up close.

It's good you were paying attention then.

It's a good thing you saw that.

I tried to not cry at the funeral.

I hope you can heal from this.


My best friend died. I went to his funeral. I was so heartbroken it was hard to hold back the tears.

That's too bad.


We started the race pretty good, but Kai kept slowing us down.

Did you all make it to the end?

We left Kai after she stopped for awhile.

You didn't go back for her?

No, she was so slow that we just moved on without her.

That's not good, a team should stay together.


Context: As Robin was constantly picking on Riley, Riley complained to Robin's mother.

I can't believe Riley told on med to my mom.

Maybe Riley told her because you went to far with it.

My mom isn't going to punish me. She just told me that I needed to stop.

What did Riley ever do to you?

Riley is just a little brat. I can't stand brats.

You should try and be nicer to people in the future.


Context: Against all odds, Cameron launched into his fresh new comedy routine and sent everyone home with some laughs.

This was a great new routine to try. Thanks so much for being great!

I was so tired. That nap did me so much good before I had to make that drive to the event.

How far was the event from your home?

It was a two hour drive.

Wow. I didn't realize it was that far. You needed that nap before hitting the road.

Yes. If I didn't take the nap first I wouldn't have enjoyed the event.

I'm glad that you had a good time.


Oh Boy! How did you sleep? I'm still tired.

Not to bad. Sleeping in the car is always fun.

I'm glad you came with me on this adventure.

Yes. I've always wanted to go to a large concert.

Well are you taking the first turn at the wheel or me? We've got to be in Des Moines in five hours.

I'll drive for a bit since you're still sleepy.

My Canada trip was great. I actually ended up visiting Aubrey's relatives.

Oh wow. How'd you make that happen?

I contacted them before I left because I knew I was going to be in their area.

Cool. I bet they were so happy to see you. It's been such a long time.

It really has. And, you know, it's funny how much they remind me of Aubrey.

I bet! That must be kind of surreal when you're trying to carry on a conversation.


I saw Aubrey's family in Canada.

Wow, what was the occasion?

I was on holiday there and staying nearby.

Was Aubrey there as well?

No, Aubrey wasn't there, so we talked a lot behind her back.

Context: Tracy paid Sydney tax for the bill and tipped the serving a big amount for the amazing service.

The waiter was so amazing I think I am going to leave a big tip!

He really was a good waiter. I'm sure a nice tip would mean a lot to him.

It's great that you can be that person for someone.

I hope he really is in need of it.

Considering he is a waiter I'm sure he does.


I caught up with Sydney the other day. I was nervous to see her.

Oh yeah, how was it seeing her again?

It was fine we let bygones be bygones. I made sure to help with the bill this time.

I bet you did. How did you split it?

I paid the tax and tip. We had great service so I left a nice tip.

That sounds fair. Do you plan to meet up with her again?


I was really impressed with how well the server did tonight.

Did you really have to give him a thousand dollar tip though?

I thought he was cute and I wanted to impress him.

I don't think you needed to give him all that money though and you still need a new car.

I can just ask my dad to buy me one.

Must be nice to be rich I guess.

How about Sweet Child of Mine?

Wow, I love that song, do we have the right equipment to play it though?

Sounds good. I got a bottle of coke.

Let's have a drink.

Okay, I'll open mine to drink it.

That's so refreshing.


Context: Jan had broken both their arms but was thirsty, so Addison filled Jan's mouth with water.

Jan looked parched.

Was she okay?

She broke both of her arms so was unable to drink.

That's awful!

I helped her, since her arms were injured I poured a glass of water into her mouth.

You're a good friend.


Jan needs lots of help at the moment.

How come?

She broke both of her arms.

How unfortunate!

I have been having to feed her and get her drinks when she is thirsty.

You're so helpful.


I had to hand feed Jan her water today.

Why can't she drink it herself?

She broke both arms and can't even lift a cup yet.

Oh wow. She's going to need a full time nurse.

I'm glad I was there because she was alone for a while and thirsty.

You're a good friend to take care of her like that.


I was trying hard not to spill water over Jan.

Why would you spill water on Jan?

She has broken both of her arms so can't drink for herself.

You should buy a straw.

That's a smart idea.

No problem.


Jan just recently got into an accident.

Oh really? What kind of accident?

An accident where she broke both arms.

Ouch! How is she now?

She was just thirsty at first and I filled Jan's mouth with water.

How nice of you to help Jan out even when she is injured.


Context: Robin recently had an operation and had been recouperating at home.  Robin decided to go out for a walk but quickly became tired.

I tried to move around a bit more today and failed miserably.

What did you try to do?

I just wanted to go for a short walk, but not a minute after I started, I got so tired and winded. And the pain got worse.

Oh, wow. Well it was really an extensive surgery you had. Maybe take it easy until the doctor actually tells you that you can start walking again. It's way to early and you shouldn't be pushing yourself like that.

I know, I regret the attempt but I was itching to get outside again!

In time, Robin. In time.


I think I pushed myself a bit too hard.

Oh? What happened?

You know I've been recovering from surgery at home, right?

Yeah, did you follow the doctor's advice?

I did. I started to get some mild exercise after the recommended rest, but became really tired.

It's best to rest another week before trying that again.


It was nice to go for a walk around the park today.

Yeah, it was a beautiful day, not too cold and not too hot.

Just perfect weather. It was my first walk after the operation so I was tired afterwards.

It's good you are getting out and working the legs.

They felt pretty good. I just need to strengthen them again.

You can do it.


Context: James and Taylor went on a few dates and then Taylor suddenly stopped talking to James.

I went on a few dates with Taylor. She's the one for me but I haven't heard from her.

What do you mean you have not heard from her?

I wanted to take her on a weekend getaway and she never got back to me. Its been two weeks.

Wow, what did you do to make her not to talk to you?

I told her my wife and I are getting back together but she's cool with me going out with you.

Dude, you can't do that. Taylor doesn't flow that way!


Context: Sydney concentrated on the ball in the hands before throwing it into the net and scoring.

I'm going to concentrate on the ball.

Make sure you use your hands on this.

I'll do this before throwing it into the net and scoring.

You know scoring so well.

It's all about training.

You got this.


I can't believe I won us the game last night.

You were amazing, what was going through your head on that last shot?

Nothing, honestly, I was just focused on the ball in my hands.

Wow, that's seriously so cool.

Yeah, then I released it and made the shot.

I was so happy when you made it last night.


That was the most intense game I ever played.

It sounds like it, did you end up winning?

Yes actually, by more than 3 points!

Wow you guys mush have been good!


I played basketball.

Were you successful?

I did my best.

What do you consider your best?

Each time I got the ball I concentrated on it in my hands before throwing it into the net and scoring.

Goal!


I know I can do this.

Go, Sydney! I believe in you!

I will concentrate everything on this throw and score!

Go fight go! Finish it with MVP!

Yes! Thank you!

Congratulations!


Context: Skylar cut to the front of the line at the bakery because she was in a rush.

I was so rude today.

What did you do?

I was in a rush and cut the line at the bakery.

Did anyone complain or give you mean looks?

No, the line was full of children and they didn't say anything.

I hope you don't think it's alright to do that again, it's very impolite.


Everyone at the bakery is way too slow!

Did you cause another scene at the bakery?

If I didn't go to the front of the line I was going to be late.

I don't think you should cut in line.

What do you know, you're slow too.

I can see why I'm you're only friend.


I managed to get the cake at the bakery that we wanted.

Great, I didn't think you would get it on time.

I know. I actually had to cut the line and felt really bad about it.

Oh, well, I hope it wasn't too big of a deal.

It wasn't. It's just not something I'd do every day.

Well, I'm glad you got the right cake. I can't wait to see it.


I feel bad. I cut in the line at the bakery today because I was in a rush.

Was it a really obvious cut in line or something kind of subtle?

I noticed people not paying attention, so I snuck in in front of them.

I guess that could be worse. It's not like you shoved them out of the way!!

True. But I still feel bad about it. I don't normally do things like that.

And as bad as I feel, I won't do it again either!


I didn't want to do it but I had to.

What are you talking about?

I had to cut to the front of the line at the bakery.

That is not cool man.


Context: Kendall rubbed Sydney's chin for good luck, which Sydney thought was a very odd gesture.

Kendall keeps on rubbing my chin for good luck.

Why would Kendall do that?

I have no idea, it's a very odd gesture.

Very odd indeed.

I am going to ask Kendall to stop.


Kendall just rubbed my chin.

Why did he do that?

He said it is a good luck but I find it weird.

I have never heard such a thing.

He is one weird guy.

It must be a superstitious belief.


Context: Cameron was out with friends for a while before Sydney's mother found Sydney unresponsive. Cameron regrets not being with Sydney. Sydney's mother wasn't happy either.

I feel so guilty for going out with friends for a while.

Why would you feel guilty?

Sydney's mother found Sydney unresponsive while I was gone and now I regret leaving.

You can't blame yourself for what happened.

Sydney's mom wasn't happy either.

She's a mother. You have to give her some leeway.


I wish I hadn't gone out with my friends.

It's not your fault that Sydney took all those pills.

His mom wasn't too happy after finding him alone and unconscious.

That must've been really hard for her.

I can't even imagine.

A mother's worst nightmare. Hopefully, he pulls through.


Context: They saw a downed power line in the road, so Addison called the electric company.

There is downed power line over there.

Yeah, what should we do?

I don't we need to call someone this is dangerous.

You should call the electric company they will know what to do.

Your right give me your phone.

Here you go!


There is a power line down the road that fell and I would like to call in to report it.

Okay. is it near any sort of trees and stuff?

No, it's not.

Oh that's a relief to hear.

Are you guys going to be on your way?

Yes, we are on the way now.


I was driving down the street and had to stop because a power line was in the road.

I hope you stayed far away from it.

I did. I turned the car around to go another way and called the electric company.

I hope they got there quickly before anyone got hurt.

Same here.


Context: Alex was going to head to the mountain for a relaxing weekend. Alex packed a bag.

I think I have everything I need. Can you help me carry this stuff out to the car?

Sure, are you heading out this weekend?

Yes, I need some peace and quiet. I'm going to the mountains to stay in the cabin.

I know you've had a lot on your plate between work and your family. That will be nice.

Yes, I'm really looking forward to just relaxing.

Well be safe and let me know when you get there.


Context: Lee took pity on Kendall and helped him with the homework that was giving him trouble.

I was very thankful for Lee's help.

He's a great friend and he's always been good at math.

Math has never been the subject for me.

Most people don't like math so we're all grateful for Lee.

I'm inviting him to dinner on Friday would you like to come?

Anytime I hear dinner and an invitation I'm in.


I'm having trouble with my homework.

I'm sorry, maybe Lee can help.

How is Lee with algebra?

Actually, pretty good.

Great, I hope he can take a look.

I am sure he will.


I just can't get through this homework.

Let Lee check it out. Maybe her can help?

I'd really appreciate that.

I am sure he can show you how to do it.

I think Lee pity's me.

I'm sure he just likes to help people.


I owe Lee a big favour after what he did for me today.

What did he do for you?

He helped me get my homework done. I was having a hard time figuring out how to do it.

Lee's great with schoolwork. He's always happy to help out.


Context: Cameron took the children. He was a kidnapper and a child molester and the cops were on his trail.

The cops are going to find me! I know they know what kind of car I drive

You're disgusting! Just give the poor children up. What did they ever do to deserve this

It happened to me when I was a child. It's only fair. I just can't get caught

Well if you don't then I'm going to turn you in. So just let the kids go.

I thought we were friends? How could you do that?

That was before I knew all this? how could I ever be friends with a monster
