I also added a privacy protection program on your computer to help keep your data safe.

Thank you so much for helping me out!

My Dad and I got into a fight,  the other day. I didn't want to look at him anymore, so I had him pull over and walked to school.

Sounds like it was a bad one. What was the fight about?

We just don't see eye to eye on how I balance my work and free time.

I know, I just kind of felt bad about it.

In the end she will thank you for it.

I get that she is young, but I do not want her to hate me.

She will be fine once she gets a job for herself.


Tracy keeps sponging off of me and I'm tired of it.

Tell her to get a job.

I did. She's suppose to be looking for one today.

What's going to happen when she finds a job?

Yes, I did, I followed it quite well.

Remy must have been happy playing with you.


It's really no fun playing video games with Skylar.

I always have fun with her.

When we play, I have to follow all her commandments or she cries about it.

Did you do what she asked?

Yes, because it's easier to do it than listen to her whine and complain.


Remy, your commandments make no sense.

You better listen to me or automatically lose the game.

I don't like this game.

Just follow my rules and watch what happens.

I don't understand how to even win this game.

Just listen to me or we can quit now and I win.


Where are my Commandments?

Last I heard was that Remi had them.

I need to find Remi so I can get them.

You can still play the game.

Not the version that I want to play.

Yeah, you'll get the basic boring version


It was fun playing with Remy the other day.

Remy has too many rules.

I'm going to go with glasses first and then switch it off after a few months.

I'm sure you can't wait to not have to wear glasses.


I hate these new glasses

why did you get them?

I was forced to.

why?

my teacher sent a note home saying I couldn't see the board, and now I have to wear glasses.

well at least you can see better in class.


Guess what I found out the other day?

What was that?

That I need glasses,  The teacher noticed that I couldn't see the board and sent a note home with me.

What did the note say?

That I'm a great student--no, of course it told my parents that I needed glasses

I guess that explains why your wearing glasses.


Context: Cameron had used Sydney's money well. They had everything they needed to start refurbishing the kitchen.

sure thing buddy


We are finally going to redo our kitchen

Oh that will be great!

Was it very expensive?

No, Cameron found lots of good deals so it is affordable

That's great, can't wait to see the finished kitchen.

Where did you learn to cook?

My mom taught me and I watch a lot of videos about cooking on YouTube.

True. That's just ham.

Right! But to expect kisses!

You know how boys are, maybe he didn't realize how it would make you feel

Ok, sounds fair enough!

Well that's true. She did say we should meet up later.

See? You're always so pessimistic. Just give things some time and it will work out.


Context: With a whistle, Carson turned Jordan's attention to the important news on TV.

I cant believe people would want to bomb cities just for revenge


Context: As a therapist, Jordan helped Cameron manage their various relationships more effectively than in the past.

You have been such a help for me with therapy.

I am glad I have been helpful, but you have done your part as well.

It's just that this relationship has been so stressful for me.

I think the two of you just really need to take a break from each other.

I know, and I want to do that, it is just so hard to pull away.

Honestly, I think you will find the strength to do that soon, because it will be too hard to live with the stress.


So I decided to start seeing a therapist.

Oh really? How has it been going?

Very well, actually. I feel like this therapist can really help me.

That's great, I know you've had some issues with other therapists in the past.

Definitely! We'll see how it goes but so far I've already made some big steps in the right direction.

It's not easy to make the commitment and go through with it, so I'm proud of you!

I'm really glad you decided to come work for me.  I knew that together we could corner the market!

Me too, man.  I felt kind of weird about asking you for a job, but times were so hard, you know?

I'm happy you did.  With my connections and your chemistry skills, we took the product to a whole new level!

I am very happy it worked out so well? We never had product as good as this.

And the money, I didn't even know they printed this much money!

And this is just from our first year!  Imagine the truck loads of cash we'll be swimming in once we get this out globally!


The best decision I made was hiring all my friends.

I agree, you guys are making a lot of money right now.

I knew we were going to do a great job because of the things that we have talked about before.

Are you guys going to implement any more new things.

There are quite a few ideas, that were thrown around right now.

Awesome, I'll look forward to seeing them.


Context: Kendall was not a nice person. Kendall took their friend's allowance every day.

I'm wondering what I should spend this money, I took from my friend.

You took that money from your friend?

It was my friend's allowance money.

Why would you steal from your friend?

Well, people always said I was not a nice person. I guess there's a reason for that.

I wonder what you do to your enemies.


What have you got for me?

I won't do it again, I promised


Can you believe that Cameron stole money from me?

No. What did you do when you found out?

I explained to him that this is very wrong and having this bad habit can get him in serious trouble.

I would have done the same thing.

He looks seriously sad, and I am sure he understood.

I hope so, he is still so young.


What should I do about my son Cameron.

What do you mean?

I found out he was stealing money and buying video games with it?

But he's only 10, how does he even do such a thing?

I just don't know how to teach him. I had a serious chat with him about it and what consequence it can have for him in the future?

I would have done the same, I think this is all what we can do


I found money missing from my purse.

Do you know who stole it?

I found out it was Cameron.

Did you punish him?

I had a serious one to one chat with him, he seemed to be remorseful and promised not to do it again

It is not easy to tell a child, but I am sure you did the right thing.

I don't want her to.  I really want it to be very nice, so I got a really good cake.

This is very nice of you.

I like your attitude.

Come join me!


It was just so weird to see Ash dancing.

You should ask him why he was dancing at the library as well.


Ash does some strange things.

You just realized that?

I was unsure of why he was dancing and I gave him a weird look.

Did you find out why he was dancing?

I cannot tell because there was no music playing at the time.

It is good to be wealthy.

What do you mean by that?

I can send my kids to boarding school for both semesters and then to summer camp at holidays.

Do you ever have time with them? Don't you miss them?

I guess I'm selfish,  but want time for my own life.

You are wealthy and you are selfish, you know you can't buy those time back again, once they all grown up?


It's nice sending my kids away for things.

Where do you send them?

Well, I got pretty close to your grandparents when you lived with them during high school.

Yes, they are very kind and really like you.


I feel bad for Aubrey. Both his grandparents are sick.

How do you know? Are they alright?

I went with him to visit them when we came home from college.

What's wrong with them? Is it something serious?

I really don't know. They looked bad and that made Aubrey sad.

I'll have to call Aubrey, just to make sure he is alright.


So I went to see your grandparents the other day.

I had  heard about that, I really appreciate that you went over to visit them ,Jordan.

Not a problem. I knew they had been sick and I had wanted to cheer them up.

I forgot that the can't have any nuts.

I feel like you haven't really learned your lesson regarding the spending of company funds

Yes,  sometimes I don't learn enough from my mistakes

I sadly agree with that.

I think overall I could always learn more

Which is the reason why I am extending your punishment at the expense meeting.  You have generated a lot of personal expenses

I am sorry for this , I will make sure I keep this under control.


I just feel like Skylar didn't really learn her lesson from the last time.

So what are you going to do about it then?

I think I'm just going to extend her punishment since she didn't listen to me

I guess she will learn her lesson this time


Context: Ash saved many people in the neighborhood. Ash was every man's hero.

I see my face all over town.

The newspaper ran a story about you. You have fully earned my respect and admiration.

This was following the tornado that ravaged the town. I coordinated a response to evacuate the villagers.

As the mayor, people count on you to lead during times of crisis. You have fulfilled your responsibilities and then some.

The fallout for the economy is going to be bad but the lives of our people are more important. We can work to rebuild the damaged homes and buildings.

You are truly a hero.


I got another award from the city.

What did you do this time?

I have saved many people in the neighborhood.

This was a nice and brave thing you did

Well, I am doing what everyone would have.

You are an absolute amazing hero.


I don't really see myself as a hero

yes, many lives were saved by your call today

thank you for the kind words, really appreciate this

no, thank you for saving us all!


Context: Jan took her pills to the doctor so he could see which pills she was currently taking.

It is literally worrying how many pills I have to take.

What are those all for?

I am not sure myself. But I have to bring them all in to my doctor today so that he can figure out what's wrong with me.

When you take that many pills, what isn't wrong with you is more to the point.


So I got that bottle of pills out of the medicine cabinet and I went up to the doctor's office and I showed him!  'I have the cure', I said!

What do you mean by that? They don't have a cure yet.

They do have a cure!  Our president says he has a hunch that hydroxychloroquine cures COVID-19 and if he says it, it has to be true!

Jan, I don't think that's accurate.  What did the doctor say when you showed him the pills and told him you had the cure?

He said that this is not a certified medicine!

Well, actually, doctors have literally decades of education and training and usually have the best interests of their patients at heart, Jan!


Context: Taylor and Jesse were trying to edit a movie and after talking it over, they decided Jesse's way was best.

There are lots of different ways to edit movies, and they all change how the movie is experienced by the audience.

I understand, but I think my way will communicate the tone of the movie the best.

After looking over both edits, I have to agree that we should go with yours, Jesse.

Thanks for seeing it my way. I liked your edit too, it just wasn't right for the footage.


I think it is a good idea to edit it with special effects.

How about preserving the natural lights and effects of this video?

Jesse, that's brilliant. Your idea is the best.

Really? Thank you. We need to filter out everything first.

Yes, and let's try to edit that movie tomorrow.

Okay. See you.


Context: The food was almost all gone except for a few old sandwiches, but since he had not eaten since yesterday, Skylar wanted anything.

I hope you don't get sick.


Context: Casey was proud to see Bailey get perfect grades and urged the shy Bailey to accept an award.

I'm so proud of Bailey

Believe it or not and he was too shy to accept his award

Such a nice guy


Context: Skylar came into the force on Tracy's behest. It was a good fit for them both.

Well I'm sure glad you had me sign up

And were all glad that  you decided to join

I think I am going to like it here

You will, you were born to be an officer

I feel that too, nothing better that dealing out some justice

and there's a lot of justice that needs to be dealt with


I'm so glad you talked me into joining the force, Tracy. I really like it!

I'm glad too Sky! I'm happy as well.

I don't think I would have done it, if you hadn't kept on me about it.

Well we all need a little kick in the pants now and then.

Yeah I was really unsure what to do, joining the force is just what I needed!

And the force is better for it also. A win-win!

Let me tell you about a game I played yesterday.

In the park?

Yes, a group of us played a game where you kick a can as far as you can.

I kicked the can clear out of the park.

Well, I guess that's something.


Sorry I took so long, I was playing a game with my friends.

Did you win the game?

I knocked the can out of the park.

Congratulations! At least being late was worth it.


The guys and I were playing kick the can last night.

At the park over on Burham street?

Yes, I kicked the can all the way out of the park.

That is because you are best can kicker on the block.

You want to come tomorrow?

If my mon, let's me go out.

What are you doing for the long weekend?

I am going camping with my friends. I know we just started dating, but do you like to camp?

I do like to camp, and I have my own tent, so it wouldn't even be awkward.

That sounds great! I will let my friends know that you are coming.

I am excited, it sounds like it will be a nice get away.

I think so too, we will have a lot of things to do.


Addison and I started dating, so I thought it would nice to invite her on a camping trip with my friends.

You really get to know someone camping.

It was the best thing.  We were away from the city and just relaxed.

Did you guys hike?

We hiked during the day and gather around a camp fire at night.

That's so cool.


I remember when Addison and I started dating.

Where did you take her on a first date?

We went camping with friends.

How nice.

I will never forget that special moment.

They are fond memories.


Context: Jesse was teaching a class lecture, and wrote down their lecture on the board.

I had to give a lecture to a class today for my internship.

Interesting. How did it go?

I decided to write everything down on the board, so I could skip around and answer questions. It didn't go so well.

That sounds like a lot of work. Why didn't it work out?

The students couldn't keep track because of me skipping around and I got a lot of repeat questions.

That's frustrating. Perhaps you should just let the students take notes while you talk next time.


It was fulfilling to teach those kids.

How many were in the class?

About 20.  Its a normal size for a class.

Did anyone misbehave?

One kid threw paper at me, but I suspended him.

Great!  You showed him who's boss!


I got to class earlier this to prepare for the day's lecture.

It's great to prepare.  Did you have a good class?

I wrote down the lecture on the board so that I can just focus on explaining things.

You are such a great teacher.  You always think about your students.

I love teaching and it gives me joy to see students improve.

What most great teachers want is to make a difference.


Context: Kendall shops at a few different stores comparing prices. Kendall finds the best deal and buys a new mattress.

Do you like my new mattress?

I love it. When did you guy it?

I bought it earlier today. I had to shop at a few different stores to compare prices to find the best deal.

It looks like you did a good job.

I can't wait to sleep on it.

Is there any chance I can have your old mattress?


I want to make sure I check out all my options before I buy this mattress.

Yes, I've noticed you are a very good bargain shopper.

I'm going to make sure I check every store for the best deal.

It's always wise to check out multiple places before you make a final decision.

Since this is a big purchase I want to be very thorough with my research.

I'm sure that you will find the best option if you are diligent with your methods.


I went to 4 or 5 stores to compare prices before I found the best deal on a mattress.

So I assume you bought it?

Yes, I got it at Mattress Discounters.  They had the best price.

How long did it take to get delivered?

They were able to get it to my place the next day.

Great.  Hope you're enjoying it.


Context: After finding a way to the store, Cameron bought a lot of food and felt like a champion.

I feel like a champ.

Why?

Because I finally found the way to the store.

Cool. Did you buy a lot of food?

Yup.


While I'm riding in the car with you, can you take me to the grocery store?

Sure, let's stop at this one.

While we're walking around, would you like me to buy you something?

A bottle of juice will be fine.

I'll pick up this bottle of juice for you and add it to my full cart of groceries. I feel great that I'm buying items that will last for at least a month.

That's good.


I ran out of groceries since I don't have my car anymore and can't easily go.

So how'd you get to the store?

My friend let me borrow his car.

Nice! I hope you bought a lot of food to last you until your car is fixed.

I did! I felt like a real winner.


I had to ask my neighbor to give me a ride to the store because my car is broken down.

You should have asked me, I would have taken you.

Thank you, that's nice to know for the next tiome. I had just cashed my paycheck and I spent three hundred dollars on groceries!

Wow, three hundred?  You must have been hungry.

I was, and now I have enough groceries to last me until my car gets fixed, so I shouldn't need a ride again.

That's good thinking!  Now you can chill out and just eat and watch Prime Video!


Context: Austin played a the most popular game in the world and was asked to join a competition.

Guess what? All the time I've spent on that videogame looks like it might pay off.

It does? How, did you win a contest or something?

No, but I've gotten so good at the game that the company that makes it has noticed.

Are you serious? What do you mean, they've noticed? How do you know?

Because they contacted me. I've been asked to take part in an official competition.

Wow! You're on your way to being a professional gamer, man!


Do you ever play Fortnite?

Honestly I am not even into that game anymore.

Well I was just asked to join a competition.

Austin, that's great! Is there a cash prize.

Yeah, the cash prize is $100k.

I am so jealous of you!


It feels rewarding to be elite at a game everyone plays.

Congratulations on making the soccer team again.

Yeah, I will be competing at the national level.

The salary doesn't compare to basketball, unfortunately.

It is the most popular game in the world, but not nearly so in the U.S.

It's also harder to go pro elsewhere, I guess.


Context: Sasha advised Carson to not go surfing today as the sea was too rough but Carson ignored Sasha's advice and went anyway and ended up having a minor accident.

Sasha told me not to go out today, and I should have listened.

What were you out doing?

I decided to go surfer this afternoon. Sasha said it was too rough, but I didn't think so. Look at me now.

What happened? I don't see anything wrong with you.

Well I got smashed into the rocks and bruised my left thigh. It's making it tough to walk, but I'll be fine.

You're lucky it wasn't your head, man! You should really listen to Sasha. She's usually right


I decided to go surfing today even though Sasha said it was a bad idea.

Is that why you have a big cut on your leg?

Yeah, I got pulled under and hit my leg on a big rock.

Maybe you shouldn't have went surfing today then?

Yeah I know, it was a stupid decision. The waves were really rough.

Next time make a better decision and you won't get hurt.


So I ended up going surfing today and had got tossed around by the waves

What? I told you not to go! The sea is too rough. Are you OK?

I'm fine but banged my knee on a rock after I got hit by a wave

Well, I'm glad you're alright but please listen to me next time

I will be sure to. Definitely learned my lesson

I am sure I will bounce back after recovering

That is so very true.  I hope all turns out well


Context: Jan was having a chaotic day and was feeling stressed so Jan found time alone to recentre.

I'm glad I was able to find some alone time to get my mind right.

It's coming to an end so you should be able to chill out for the weekend.

I'm looking forward to relaxing days with nothing to do.

Maybe we can catch up and do something?


Context: Jan controlled Aubrey's life. Jan was a terrible person.

I feel really guilty about how I've treated Aubrey.

I thought the two of you had a solid relationship.

No, I feel like a terrible person. I keep bossing Aubrey around and telling her what to do.

Maybe you could see a therapist to work out some of those behaviors.

I know. I feel like I've controlled Aubrey's life and I need to stop doing that.

I can recommend some therapists to you if you'd like.


You need to have more control over your life so I don't have to make these decisions for you

Please stop being so controlling and making all these bad decisions

I will if you can do it yourself

I will be able to do it if you stop interfering with everything

I think I will do my best to leave your life

Thank you


Context: After seeing he was in last place, Lee quickly began running.

The marathon was tough today.  I didn't expect it to be this hot.

It was a hot day.  I bet it felt even hotter for you because you were running.

Yeah.  I was taking it easy initially but after I noticed that I was in the last place, I picked up my pace.

That's great that you were able to do that.

I didn't want to finish last so I pushed myself.  After a while, I got used to running in the heat.

It's great that you were determined.


You know that race I joined last weekend?

Yeah?

After a while, I didn't even realize I was in last place. So I started running.

What place did you end up at?

I don't know. I just skipped the rest of the race and ran back to my car.

You at least tried.


When I realised I was in the last place, I started running faster

I saw you picking speed

I could not be the last person in the race

Once I saw you pick up, I started cheering for you

Yeah I could hear you

Well done


Today's race was really sussensful

Oh, yeah, I was on the sidelines!

Did you see me pull ahead?

Yeah, you were all the way in last place!!

Yeah, I didn't even realize, I ran so hard to catch up.

Well, you won!  Congratulations!


I never thought that I would win that race.

You came out of nowhere and blew those others runners away.

I saw that I was losing and just got this burst of energy.

What do you think caused you to finding the energy to run faster?

I could hear my dad talking to me, telling me that I could do it.

He was watching out for you and gave you the boost that you needed and confidence to win.

Kendall cooked everybody lunch today.

I can still smell something good coming in the kitchen.

Kendall wanted to impress my family, so he whipped up some special dishes for everybody.

Kendall knows what he's doing. They say the quickest way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

Yeah, my family loved it and now they love Kendall too.


Context: Addison was looking for the best strategy to promote her business. Kendall, who is Addison's colleague, came up will a marketing plan to promote the business. Addison put Kendall's thoughts into action.

With the help of Kendall I really feel like my business is on good ground now.

Do you feel like you finally came up with an effective marketing strategy?

Yes! Kendall helped me with that and I am going to put her plan into action as soon as possible.

It is really good you finally think you came up with a plan to market.

I am excited to see how the business improves now that we have came up with something.

I sure hope it works out for you. I know how long and hard you have been working at that.


Kendall thought that sending out a catalogue to surrounding potential clients would work and I agreed, so we did it!

Wow, that sounds like a great marketing plan.

Yes, it has brought a lot of attention to our company.

That's great for you!

Yes, and I am thinking of giving Kendall a raise.

Well, if it's her plan that is bringing in business, she deserves it.


I hired Kendall to work with me on marketing.

That's cool, Kendall is really good at that stuff.

I know, her plan for the company was really in depth.

With her on your team, your business will be blooming in no time.


Context: Carson had gotten an extravagant gift for their birthday, and they had loved it very much.

I feel like a movie star walking around with this gold Rolex watch.

You got a Rolex? Where did you get that kind of money working at Taco Bell?

It was a birthday present from my uncle who lives in Italy.

I wish I had an uncle like that. Mine only send me a card.

He's got a vineyard and makes tons of money selling his wine.

I'd love to try some of your uncle's wine if you ever get a bottle.


Oh my God. My boyfriend got me something extravagant for my Birthday!

Let me guess. Jewellery?

Yes. Diamond earrings! I love them!

Wow. That says a lot. He must be a great guy.

He is. It's not just the earrings. It's him.

Yes. It's always the person giving the gift. Not just the gift itself.


I can't tell you how happy I was with the birthday present from my Mom!

Wow, so sorry I forgot your birthday was yesterday, happy belated birthday!  How was it?

That's ok, and thanks, it was great!

What did your Mom give you?

She gave me the watch that I'd been wanting, remember the one I'd told you about?

The one you've been drooling about for weeks, yeah I remember.  Your Mom's the best!


Context: Sasha took the bus to Vegas, but couldn't afford one home after losing all their money.

I feel miserable after losing all my money gambling

well lets take the bus to Vegas and maybe you can get your money back

sounds like a good plan to me


Context: Carson was tired of their boss stealing their work, so Carson gave Addison a piece of their mind.

I finally told the boss off today. He keeps stealing my ideas.

That is great. What did he say?

He was shocked and denied it of course .

You may have to go above his head .

I don't want to go to HR, but I may have to.


Context: Austin wants to get a new haircut.  He decided he wanted his hair to look like Kendall's hair.

I decided to have my hair cut like Kendall's. I like the way his looks.

Me, too. I look forward to see your new hair.


Context: Kai waited for the other shoe to drop and sure enough they received some very bad news.

I'm very worried. I feel like this isn't over yet.

Why? You thought the company was going to shut down your division, and that's what happened.

I don't know, I just got a weird feeling. Like there are bigger rumblings going on...

Don't be paranoid. It'll be fine once your transfer is complete.

Wait, I'm getting a text. Oh my God, the whole company is shutting down. For good.

Uh oh. I guess your instincts were right.


Context: Lee bought concert tickets for Remy's birthday for the concert that Remy wanted to go to.

I hope so! Those tickets must be expensive

I am so excited, I can believe I'm going!

I am glad this makes you happy, Lee is really great


Context: Austin spent all day building and re-building the art project for class. He wasn't happy with it and saw each tiny imperfection.

I turned in my art project today, I am still not happy with it.

I saw the picture of it on the website, it looks amazing.

There were so many things wrong with it.

Didn't you say you spent all day rebuilding it to fix it.

I did and it still had so many tiny imperfections.

Well, from the teacher's reaction and everyone's comments, I think its the best project in the class.


I just can't get this project right.

What's wrong with it.

The tower is not quite straight, the color is a little off, the windows aren't positioned correctly.

It's just an artistic structure; it doesn't have to be perfect.

I want it to be.

I think it looks good right now--don't keep making yourself crazy.


Context: Jordan's family reunion became very tense after an argument. Jordan felt uncomfortable and eventually asked their parents to leave so they did.

We had to leave the family reunion early this year.

Why?

There's some fight going on with my cousins and it made everyone so uncomfortable.

Oh, families can be tough.

Yes. But we got out of there politely so I hope we don't get involved.

Me either. That was good planning on your part, to escape.


Remind me to never host a family get together again.

Everyone knows those are always a disaster. What happened?

I thought I'd be a good person and host this year's family reunion. But of course my parents got into a fight. It was so awkward.

I don't know why they don't just get divorced. They never get along.

I know. It's so embarrassing. I actually asked them to leave. Believe it or not they did.

I bet the party was better after that.


I just had a family reunion and it went about as terribly as it could possibly go. We had a really tense argument.

Families can be tricky. What did you do?

I couldn't handle it after the argument. I asked my parents to leave and then I left.

Sometimes you have to walk away from bad situations. Maybe you did the right thing by leaving.


I don't understand why everyone can't just get along ,at least for one day!

Who couldn't get a long with each other today?

My entire family! Of course when you have a family reunion, it has to turn uncomfortable and become tense which leads to arguments.

That doesn't sound very fun at all, did you end up staying?

No, I asked my parents to leave because I couldn't take the tension anymore.

Well at least you got out in one piece!


Context: After reading the fine print of the contract, Taylor defined the agreement in terms.

They tried to get me to give them 50 percent of the royalties.

You have to look over the contract in detail.

I did, I read all the fine print like you told me to.

Would you like me to go over the contract?

I had June do that, and I was able to get the agreement that I wanted.


I think I really need to revaluate what is going on here so I can truly remember the facts and such.  I like the agreement

I am glad you do.  there is a lot of stuff in here that needs to be redefined

Yeah, there are a lot of things in there that need to be taken care of

right right.  I am glad you are able to notice the fine print

so true

you are one smart friend


I am not sure I fully understand the agreement terms.

You’ve been reading that fine print for over an hour.

Yes, but they make the writing so technical and easy to misunderstand.

You are doing a fine job analyzing it.

Thank you, now I have to figure out how to explain it.

I am sure that you will figure it out.


Context: Ash pushed the boy into the pool for what he thought was a harmless practical joke.

I was just playing and joking around and actually having a lot of fun.

What were you doing?

I just pushed a boy into the pool hahaha

Do you know the guy? Does the guy know how to swim?

I don't know, It was just a harmless joke, come on!

You don't know what could happened, be careful with your actions.


I pushed the boy in the pool as a joke

That's not very funny

it was harmless

did he get hurt?

not at all, he laughed

okay, looks like you were lucky and he was able to swim


I'm sorry, I wouldn't have pushed him in the pool if I knew he couldn't swim!

Why did he push him in anyway?

We were all joking around, everyone was pushing everyone in, it was just a harmless prank

It isn't harmless when that boy didn't know how to swim

No one knew that, why was he at the pool if he didn't know how to swim?

Now that is a good question!


Context: When he couldn't get ahold of his target, Remy killed their darlings instead.

I can't get a hold of the targets on this videogame.

Kill their darlings instead!

Hurry give me the guns.

Just load the bullets and fire at once.

I killed them already.

Go hide and remove the traces.


Damn it, my opponent when I was playing this new videogame got away, but I took care of business.

What do you mean you took care of business?

well, after he went offline, I took matters into my own hands.

Oh man Remy. What did you do?

I logged in with his account and I killed all of his darlings there. All of them.

Oh man poor things. You should have sold them instead.


Context: After cooking, Taylor liked to clean up the kitchen and throw away any trash.

You all should go ahead and eat. I'll start cleaning up this mess I made.

Taylor, you should join us since you cooked everything!

It's fine - I like to clean up and take out the trash before I eat.

Ok, everything looks really good though.

Thank you, I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for cleaning up too!


I just finished cleaning up my kitchen and getting the trash out.

I don't envy you. I hate cleaning.

I'm the other way. I love cleaning, and then seeing my nice clean kitchen afterwards.

I hate having a dirty kitchen, but I also hate the cleaning part. So I do it, but I hate it.

I think I'm one of the only people who actually enjoys it.

I think you're right. I don't know anyone else who actually enjoys it!


I am fussy about my kitchen.

I have seen that in the past.

After cooking, I like to clean up the kitchen.

No mess, no bugs is something I always say.

My last step after cooking is to throw away any trash.

Oh no, the last step after cooking is to eat, so let's eat.


Context: Alex lived and let live so that they could live peacefully with other members of society.

I have been so stress-free lately, it feels amazing.

What have you been doing differently?

I have just learned to live and let others live so that we can live together peacefully with other members of society.

That sounds great. I should really try that out.

I think you should, it has really changed the way I view the world.

Thank you for the advice, I will definitely try it out.


I went out to get some groceries and this guy in line wasn't wearing a mask.

Was he coughing and stuff?

Not coughing, but he kept chatting me up and it was a bit unnerving. I guess I didn't do anything since I have learned to live and let live.

What did he want to talk about?

He was just saying how he didn't think corona was a big deal and all that. I told him that I hoped he, and all of us, got through this ok despite our differences.

You're more diplomatic that I would have been!


I'm going to live peacefully with others.

yeah, just live and let live, that's the secret, right?

that's right!

focus on yourself.

and others are going to do the same.

very wise words.


I want a peaceful life in this society.

That is true. We must all live in harmony.

My motto has always been, live and let live.

That is fair enough, right?

I am thankful to my parents for having me to the right direction in life.

They sure did. That’s why I love them.


Context: Riley was being held captive, but they were able to break loose from the house.

You won't believe what happened to me a couple of days ago.

What?? Tell me.

I was kidnapped and being held against my will! I managed to get free though just yesterday.

You're kidding!! How did you break free?

I just kept working the knot over and over when he wasn't around and when I got free I flew out of that house!

I'm just glad you're okay! That could have gone really bad for you.


I need you to call the police for me.

Is everything okay?

Someone was holding me captive and while they were distracted I ran away.

Were they men or women?

Two men in black masks.

Okay, I will call the police.


I am glad that I made it out of there alive. My boyfriend is a disgusting person that I hope spends the rest of his life in prison.

I can't believe that he held you captive in the basement for a week.

He has mental problems.  I will never talk to him again unless it is in court.

What did you do for food and water?

He would give me enough to survive.  I am a little dehydrated still though.

He is a horrible person.


Context: Lee wasn't happy with the way the speech turned out. Lee gave their speech a rewrite.

Their speech didn't turn out so well.

How did it go?

They sounded monotone, and their voices were low. Also, they didn't speak accurately about the topic.

Did you give them a bad grade, Lee?

I told them that I would give them another chance. They can rewrite their speech and recite it next week.

I hope that they'll fix the mistakes and provide a better performance.


The speech seemed awkward and bulky even after two rewrites.

I think you've edited enough times.

I gave it another rewrite. Third draft's a charm.

Are you finally satisfied with the contents?

Yes, and since it's less awkward, it's easier to memorize as well.

Do you mind if I read it first?


I thought the speech could have been so much better!

Why? They didn't do a good job.

Well, I'm not sure, but I did feel the need to rewrite it.

I hear you! That happens sometimes unfortunately.

Yeah, we made it work.

Good! I know you are good at that stuff.


Context: Carson is trying to remove Quinn's tooth at home. Carson chips Quinn's tooth with a hammer.

I needed a tooth pulled and Carson tried to do it at home.

That's downright stupid, Quinn.

I know. He ended up just chipping the tooth with a hammer.

It probably looks a lot worse now.

It does. I wish we hadn't tried to do something.


Carson tried to remove my tooth for me.

And why can't you just see a dentist?

I don't have insurance, and this tooth is bothering me.

You can go to dentists that offer payment plans, and low income pricing.

I didn't know that.

I'll send you some links, just please stop.


Context: Quinn watched the neighbor today to see if they were going to do anything to Quinn's side of the yard.

I was watching out to see if my neighbors were going to cut those branches hanging over into my yard.

That tree is really dangerous. Have you talked to them about it?

Yeah. Mr. Riley said he was going to trim the branches on their side that hang over on my side.

It looks like they are still working on it.

Yeah. I think they are working their way around the tree.

I think you'll be happy with the results.


Context: Austin reduced the impact and severity of the fall but covering their head as they rolled.

I was kind of fortunate this morning.

What happened?

I fell head first off my bike?

Oh, my gosh--are you injured?

Not really.  I covered my head with my hands and then rolled.

Lucky you know how to fall.


I was riding my skateboard and hit a huge rock in the street.

Did you fall off your board?

I went flying off my board.

Were you injured?

I have some cuts and scrapes, but I covered my head as I was rolling on the ground.

That's a good reaction, you could be worse off.


Context: Kendall wanted her children to learn how to play piano. Kendall went and signed up them up for lessons.

When I was a kid I wanted to play the piano.

Did you ever learn?

No, that's why I'm going to sign up my kids for lessons, I want them to learn.

Just don't push them too hard if they don't like it.


I took my kids to piano lessons today

learning piano at such a young age is amazing

i think they will really appreciate learning how to play piano when they get older

it's always nice to know a skill  I guess


Context: Cameron put their way of navigating home into practice, so they can have a great place to live.

I had to apply my navigation skills to get us home so that we can sleep in our own bed.

Were you with Nancy?

Yes my wife and I went on a road trip and we took a road home that we've never been on.  We were tired and couldn't think straight.

How long were you driving?

I had been driving for twenty-four hours straight with a couple of nap breaks.

That sounds like a long stretch.


I absolutely love this new home we found together!

Thanks to your superb navigation skills, it sounds like you found a gem.

Can’t believe I found such an extraordinary place! But finding the way back was hard though, I had to put my way of navigating home into practice.

I am in awe as much as you are, Cameron.

Can’t wait to tell the rest of our friends about this place.

Me neither, this is going to be so much fun!


I finished my spreadsheet to help me find the perfect home.

Oh that's great! You've been working on that for a while.

Yeah, I started putting into practice this week. I have a few places I'm going to check out on Saturday.

And they meet all your requirements?

More or less. I weighted each requirement differently and then used a formula to come up with a final score. The spreadsheet highlights anything with a score over 80.

Wow you should patent that formula!


Context: Remembering his traumatic past, Lee came into Quinn's head.

I went to see my brother Quinn last week.

That must have been hard for him.

The past growing up together was so hard so it did jog some unpleasant memories for Quinn.

I am sorry you have such a hard past.

Well I told Quinn we have to live for the future.

That's right , we can't move forward if we don't.


I remembered my past.

What past are you referring?

My traumatic past.

I guess you must be on Quinn's head too now, you are so close. Do you want to talk with him?

I will do it.

Quinn  will listen to you.


I remember when Quinn and I were kids and one of us got hit by a car

I remember you also got hit and were in the hospital for weeks

same for Quinn except he had more broken bones

that is true, it was so scary at the time

I think about what happened sometimes and just tremble

really, Quinn probably does too, it must be something that will never go away


Quinn called me the other day out of the blue.

Did he want to talk about the accident?

Yes, I just did not know what say to him.

Did you tell him that you forgive him for drinking? That is what he wants

I don't know if I can ever forgive him.

Forgiveness is the only way that you will be free.


I've been thinking a lot about Quinn lately.

You two have been through a lot together.

I've had some traumatic things happen to me in the past, and Quinn was usually there when it happened.

I'm glad you two can get into each other's heads about it. Not everybody has such close friendships.

I know. I'm really grateful.


Context: Some children in Tracy's son's class had head lice. Tracy examined every inch of her son's head when she got home.

I checked my kid after someone in his class had lice, but I didn't see any lice so far

Did you look good?

I've looked over every inch of his hair.

Does his head feels itchy?

He didn't say he feels itchy

It should be fine them, but I would also still be worried


Can you please help me check my son's head when he gets home from school?

Sure I will.  What happened?  Did he get hurt?

No, nothing like that.  But some of the kids in his class have head lice!  His teacher just called me and told me about it....Oh, here is his bus now.  Let's go ahead and get ready.

Ok.  Let's get it done!  With both of us checking it won't take too long at all.

So we've been checking for about an hour!  I haven't found a single lice, so I think he's ok.

I think so too.  I would check every couple of days, though.  It's a lot easier to stop an infestation before they set up a community in his hair and start a society in there.


I'm still creeped out. The thought of it just makes me sick.

It's pretty gross. But you didn't find anything?

I inspected every inch of that boy's scalp. No lice to be found.

Thank God. Did they take that other boy out of class?

The kid who had it, you mean? I think so. He better not be there tomorrow.

I know. That's the kind of problem that is not easy to get rid of.


Context: Ash and Jordan went to the baseball game and Ash bought them both a hot dog and a beer at the concession stand.

Jordan and I went to the baseball game.

Did you have a fun time?

Yeah, but the concession stand food there is expensive.

What did you get.

I got us both a hot dog and a beer, and it cost me an arm and a leg.

You can't have baseball without a hot dog.


I bought hot dogs and beer at the concession stand at the baseball game last week.

I think I got food poisoning at that place before.

Was this at the stadium where Jordan and I attended the baseball game?

Yeah, that stand even has bad ratings online.

Well, this was four days ago, so I think we're in the clear.

I just bring my own food to games now.


I went to the baseball game with Jordan.

That was a nice thing to do for your little brother.

I bought a hot dog and a beer for both him and me.

Jordan is only eleven.

He ate my hot dog and I drank his beer.

Any excuse to get hammered I see.


Context: Quinn met his girlfriend for the first time and fell in love right when he saw her.

When I met my girlfriend that was it.  I knew I had met my soulmate and I was in love.

Oh, that's so sweet.  How did you two meet?

A blind date.  One of my other friends knew her and thought we'd make a great match.

Sounds like your friend new both of you well.

Obviously, because he was spot on.  She and I are perfect for each other.

I can't wait to meet her.


I didn't really think love at first sight happened.

Now your telling me it did?

Yes, I knew the moment I saw here that I loved her.

That's pretty awesome.

It is the best feeling in the world.

I hope it works out for you guys.


I just met my girlfriend in person.

Did you meet her on an online dating site?

No, actually it was on a gaming site.

I see. And how did you feel about it?

I fell in love with her. She's even more beautiful and charismatic in person.

I'm so happy for you!


Context: Sasha had gotten flowers from a secret admirer. Sasha bought a vase at a low price.

Wow, I got these flowers in the mail.

Pretty! Who are they from?

I don't know! It just says secret admirer.

Aww that's sweet. Where are you going to put them?

I think in my kitchen. I had to get a cheap vase, I didn't have one.

Haha yeah, it's not something you think about needing.


I don't know who sent these flowers but I love them and just picked up this cheap vase for them at lunch.

Are you going to keep them on your desk?

Yes and the vase is perfect for them even if I don't know who they're from.

Maybe the person who sent them will see them and admit it.

That's what I am hoping.

Let me know who it is if you find out.


Look at these gorgeous flowers someone sent me!

Wow, they are pretty! That was very nice of someone.

Hmm I don't have any vases, I'm going to have to go buy one

Try the dollar store, they usually have a bunch and cheap!

Aw thanks for the suggestion, I got one at a discounted price and it is perfect.

Now you can display your pretty flowers on the counter.


Context: Despite the warnings from her parents and other friends, Sasha became Casey's friend.

I don’t understand why my family cannot accept Casey.

Maybe it’s because she’s friends with other girls that have bad reputations.

Maybe, but that doesn’t give my family the right to tell me who to be friends with.

They are only looking out for your best interest.

They are interfering with my life and Casey is an extraordinary person.

Well, hopefully, you can prove your parent’s wrong.


I've befriended Casey.

Do you think that's a good idea?

You're just like my parents--warning me about Casey.

Well, he is known as a bad boy.

I need a little excitement in my life.

Just be careful.


I know you and my parents don't like Casey, but she's a great person.

Sasha, nobody else that we hang out with thinks you should be friends with Casey.

I can't believe that you are all judging her because she has gotten into a little trouble with the police.

Being arrested multiple times with drugs is not a little trouble.

You sound like my mom and I don't really care what you think.

I hope you are right then because Casey is going to cause you to lose the friends you have.


My friends and parents warned me about Casey.  They think he's trouble.

Why do they say that?

Casey has a reputation of stringing along a lot of girls.  He plays with their emotions.

Is that such a bad thing?  He's not a killer or anything.

My family and friends just want me to hang out with better people.

Choosing your friends wisely is very important.


Context: Sasha was cleaning Jan's room when she found a stack of old yearbooks from High School.

I had a nice trip down memory lane today when I was cleaning Sasha's room.

Memory lane? Why, what do you mean?

I ran across a bunch of old yearbooks from junior high and high school in Jan's room. What memories!

Oh, I love that! I can't even find my school yearbooks. They're in the attic somewhere, but who knows where?

What's really weird is how many people from back then that I've totally forgotten about. It's all so distant now.

Yeah, hard to believe it felt so important when we were living through it. It all felt like life and death.


You know Jan is my roommate, right?

Yes, I've met her once or twice.

Right. Anyway, I was cleaning her room yesterday and found some stuff from High School.

What kind of stuff did you find?

Mainly a stack of old yearbooks. You should see her high school pictures LOL!

I guess they looked pretty silly!


Context: Kai spent the day raking leaves for his punishment because he got an f in school.

I think I learned my lesson and will make sure I get no more F.

You probably are going to see leaves in your dreams.

Leaves are going to haunt me for the rest of my life after all that raking as a punishment.

If you need help just let me know.

Help with the leaves or with my work?

The work buddy, I'm nor raking leaves!


I can't go out today.

Why not?

I got punished because I got an f at school.

Oh, are you grounded?

No, but I have to spend the day raking leaves as my punishment.

That doesn't sound fun!


I don't see why and F is so bad.

Your parents want what is best for you.

But I hate raking leaves!

That is why it is called a punishment.

I'm gonna study really hard next time.

That's the spirit!


Context: Addison, the company's manager, approved to give Sasha a new position.

Did you know that I’m getting promoted finally.

Oh wow, Addison got you a new position?

Yep, after all the years of hard work I’m finally getting promoted.

What’s going to be your pay increase?

They’re currently working that out right now.

I hope it’s something substantial for the position that you’re going to be getting.


Context: Robin was going to loose her family business but found that by reducing deficit by reducing expenditures the business would be able to stay in the family.

I am so glad that I made the necessary changes to save my family business.

You did the right thing, Robin, you are a true hero.

If only my family understood the financial sacrifices that I’ve had to make.

How exactly did you do it?

I reduced the deficit and expenditures by saving money wherever I could.

I am proud of you Robin.


If I didn't do something to save the family business, I was going to lose it soon.  I reduced the deficit by reducing expenditures and I was able to keep the business in the family.

Those accounting classes came in handy.

I hated accounting classes when I took them, but I find myself applying a lot of the principles I've learned in real life.

That's the exciting part.

Business in the real world is exciting, not the classes.

I can't keep myself awake in class.  I am so bored.


We are in danger of losing our family business.

What are you going to do?

I think if we can reduce expenditures, we can keep it.

How are you going to that?

Mainly we'll have to cut non-employee hours and do more work ourselves.

That will be hard, but worth it.


Context: Taylor told Alex what was going on at home even though her dad had threatened not to.

I told Alex that my brother's goldfish, Gregory, isn't actually Gregory.

What?

He keeps dying and my dad keeps replacing him so my brother doesn't get upset, we're on like the eight one now.

That seems like a strange thing to hide, but okay.

Just don't tell anybody, my dad would actually kill me, he said so himself.

what are you guys going wearing to the carnival?

we have costumes, the ones from last year.

that is great, let me get mine.

fine, we will wait here for you to get ready.


I finally got out of my work schedule to go to the carnival with my friends.

How did you manage that?

I told my boss that I had severe cramps and keep keeling over.

That one always works for you.

I know. I put his hands over his ears and said just go home.

You know your boss volunteered to work the ticket booth at the carnival tonight.


I didn't think I could make it to the carnival, but I managed to clear out my schedule and I can go now.

I thought you had a ton of work to do.

I did, and I had to jump through a lot of hoops to finish everything before the carnival started. But I managed it.

I'm glad you're coming along. I saved your ticket just in case.

that doesn't mean you should just take mine though

you're right, I'm sorry I tried to steal it.

I was playing video games with Ralph.

He has a ton of games.

I was tempted to steal his old version of Mario Cart.

Did you steal it?

I heard Sydney's voice in my head telling me not to do it so I didn't.

Sydney is your conscience.


I was in the mall in a game store and about it steal one when I heard my friend tell me not to do it.

Like, in your head or she called you?

In my head, I realized that she wouldn't have approved of this behavior because she has gotten upset at me before for doing stuff like this.

So you really like her then don't you?

I mean yeah, I guess I do if thinking about her stopped me from stealing something.

Maybe you should tell her that and ask her if she feels the same way.


Context: Ash came home from the gym and took a nap on the couch. Before dinnertime, Ash regained their strength.

I feel so much better since I took that long nap.  I had a tough workout at the gym this morning.

I love long naps.

I feel like I have regained my strength.  I feel like a million bucks.

Too bad you had to sleep on the couch.  Your bed would have been much better.

Well the kids were watching Netflix in my room so I decided to nap on the couch.


I needed a refresher nap today after the gym.

Was it a tough workout?

It took a lot out of me so I just laid down a bit and fell into a nice nap.

I love taking naps.

Me too. This one totally refreshed me too. Now I can go out to eat.

Tell me where and I'll meet you.

Oh no that stinks! So what happened afterwards?

Well Rick was nice enough to pay for it, and I told him I would pay him back.

Yeah, Rick is a quality dude.


My lunch was delicious today.

"It sure was."

I wanted to pay for lunch for me and my friend.

That is so kind of you.

Yeah, but when I went to pay I realised I left my wallet at home. I felt so sorry.

No problem. You can pay for your friend's lunch next time.


I felt like such an idiot yesterday when I went to lunch with Jeff and Tyler.

Why? I thought they were your close friends.

Oh, they are. It's just that I was going to buy them lunch, but left my wallet at home.

I'm sure they understood. It can happen to anyone.

Yeah, I know. But still.

Well, I'm sure you'll take care of them next time. Don't even worry about it.


Context: Ash wanted to know what Jesse had been doing so he elicited a response from Jesse.

I think Jesse thought I was being too nosy the other day.

Why, where you questioning him or something?

A little. I saw him take something out of a coat pocket on the coat rack at school and asked what he was doing.

Well, was it his coat?

I didn't think it was. Turns out it WAS his coat.  It was different from the one I recognized because he had just bought it.

Oh. I get it. Oops. Well at least he knows you look out for people. How would you know he'd just bought a new coat?


Do you know what's up with Jesse recently?

Not really. Life is boring.

I heard through the grapevine differently.

What have you heard? My life is boring and I'm sure Jesse's too.

I heard she won the lottery and won't share the wealth.

Whoever told you that is a liar.

Thank God he had his phone on and in front of him.

Yes. Thank God. Addison was right there for you.

What happened?

A car cut me off and I couldn't hit my breaks in time.

Did you have to go to the hospital?

Yes, they took me to the emergency room. I called my friend Addison and she met me in the emergency room.

That's great that you have such good friends.


Everything hurts so much.  I didn't see that car coming from that direction.

Yeah, its important that you know that overall the process will take a while, but I am sure that you will encounter a speedy recovery.  Most people do

yeah, I am glad the pain will go away soon enough and everything will be back to normal one of these days. And also that Addison came to see me at the emergency room.

Indeed.  You are so right.  I really hope everything comes together and you are a lucky person too

I know right.  a lot of people could have died in the same predicament I was in

that is very true


I am so glad that Addison was there for me at the hospital.

What happened? Are you hurt?

I was in a car accident. Addison got the information and came right away.

I hope your injuries are not bad.

I broke a wrist, otherwise I am alright.

I will come to see you after work. Get well soon.


Context: Everyone had looks of disbelief on their faces when they heard the teacher announce the quiz, but Ash wasn't surprised at all, and fully understood what was happening.

I knew this was going to happen.

How come you're not freaking out? Everybody else in the class is shocked by the pop quiz!

It's not a pop quiz. The teacher has been suggesting we're going to have a quiz all week. You guys just haven't been paying attention.

I guess that explains why you look so calm. I hope I don't fail it!


I knew something like this would happen.

I don't believe it! Look at all of our classmates, they are in disbelief!

Yeah, I know. I'm so glad I have been prepared for this.

Lucky you. You have always been ready for anything like this anyway.

This didn't teach everyone in the lesson. You guys ought to study hard every day.

Lesson learned. I will do just that from now on.


What is the big deal with the quiz.

I wasn't expecting this.

Well you have to be ready always.

Oh! not this time I am not ready

Write what you can recall, after all its a general knowledge quiz.

Better, my hands were getting sweaty.


Mrs. Jones gave a surprise pop quiz today!

Man, how do you think you did.

I knew what was going on and had studied the last 2 nights. The other kids had a what is going on look on their face.

Good thing you had studied and were prepared for the quiz.

I am sure a bunch of them failed.


Context: Kai was having problems understanding the lesson. Kai talked to their teacher about the problems.

I think I'm ready for today's test.

That's great. You're no longer having a hard time with that class?

No, I had a tutoring session with the teacher and she explained  everything to me.

Well, I wish you lots of luck today.

Thanks, it feels good not to have problems with the material.

I'm sure you'll do great.


I asked my teacher to help me with understanding the lesson.  I just didn't get it.

What class is this?

Geometry class with Mr. Rogers.

Mr. Rogers was my Geometry teacher too.  I love the way he explains things.

He is so patient with me.  I can take a while to catch on, but once I understand it, I don't forget.

I am glad he's still teaching.  I thought he was going to retire last year.


I was having trouble understanding the lesson of the day.

You can always ask your teacher’s help.

That is exactly what I did.

Is everything clear now?

I totally understand it now. My teacher was a great help.

That is the right way to do it.
