The white dress, gives you the virgin look.

I have to keep up the pretences to get the money.

Yes, you must be a virgin to marry the old bastard.

One more week, and then we will have what we need.


Context: Ash gave Addison the appearance of virtue. In reality they were quite wicked.

I don't think Addison has any idea of how wicked I really am.

You do a good job of acting like you're a good guy.

As long as I give her the appearance that I'm virtuous, she'll continue to be my friend.

I don't think you'll have any issues doing that.

How is it that you're still my friend?

Because I might be just as wicked as your are.


Context: After receiving a phone call, Tracy quickly rushed home.

I was at work yesterday when my phone rang.

Who was calling?

It was my daughters school.

Is she OK?

I was so scared that I drove so fast.

I am glad everything is OK.


I had to rush home last night.

Why, what happened?

I received a phone call that my friend was coming over.

Did you make it back in time?

No, she ended up waiting outside for me for almost an hour.

That is a really long time, but good thing she waited for you.


I'm sorry that I had to run away so fast.

Don't worry about it,  it's all right.

I knew you would understand because you're a great friend.

We all have had emergency calls that we needed to take care of right away.

That's true, but some people still don't understand.

Those people are friends.


Context: Kendall was difficult to get to know, but Bailey managed to establish relations with Kendall.

It has taken me quite a long time, but I think Kendall and I are finally good friends.

That's good. How did you build a relationship with her?

I just made her feel like she was safe with me and eventually she started coming around.

That's always a good idea; making others feel safe and comfortable.

Yep. She was standoffish at first, but with time we have grown very close.

It's good you guys were able to build such a close bond.


She is just off putting.

She may be going through some stuff, and just doesn't want to talk about her past.

We have somewhat a relationship now at work, but it is very tense.

Just give her time, Kendall may have went thru some kind of trauma.


Context: Lee was trying to take a run around the block with the dog. Lee persuaded the dog to follow them.

I tried to get my dog to exercise more by running around the block. I thought he would keep up, but he barely followed me.

Does the dog have a weight problem?

Yes, he is overweight. The vet said to feed him less, but it is not working.

Are you the only one feeding him?

No the kids do too. They sneak him food in secret even after I told them to stop.


Context: Kendall works in a restuarnat on the weekends. It is always hard to get good tips, but this weekend Kendall made ten dollars in tips.

I work at another job on weekends.

It's good money there.

I only made ten dollars today.

Good for you man.

Yea that's not too bad.

Yea you are a hustler.


Context: Alex had a list of chores to do but wanted to relax instead so Alex told their sister to do the chores instead.

Too many things to do. I really want to relax!

Finish all your chores first sis!

But I want to relax. Can you help me sis? Do the chores instead.

Okay. But what will you trade for it?

I will give you my dessert for dinner. Deal?

Don't back down to your words, okay? Deal.


I feel kind of bad for something I did yesterday

Oh man, what did you do this time?

So I was supposed to do a bunch of chores that my parents asked me to do, but I wanted to relax instead

so did you end up doing any of the chores? why do you feel bad?

I feel back because I told my little sister to do all my chores and she did them for me

I see how that can make you feel bad, maybe you can make it up to her.


Context: Taylor was a very well read individual.  He always was in the middle of a book.

I'm really enjoying reading this book.

You are always reading.

I am learning so much from this from this one.

You are a very well read person, I know you love to read.

Yeah, I'm always reading and in the middle of a book.

I know.


I read a lot. I'm on my twentieth book this year.

What kind of book are you reading now.

A book about politics and how Trump was able to win the election.

You always know so much about different things. You're very well read. Is that from reading all this books?

Yes, but I read both fiction and nonfiction.

It must get expensive to read all of those books. I just don't have time to read with my kids.


I'm trying to finish up this book that I started a couple weeks ago.

What is this book about?

It's about what it's like to be black in America.

That sounds very deep.

Anytime you read books like these, you really learn a lot.

Yeah, you're right.


Context: Riley and Quinn tried to make some cookies with a recipe that was handed down from generation to generation.

Oh I bet these cookies are going to taste so good.

As long as we get the recipe right, I can hardly read this writing.

Two cups of flower and a three quarter cup of sugar.

Mix it together. This tastes good.


Context: Austin  knew Alex was very smart and taught Alex to read when he was 4 years old.

Alex is a really smart kid.

Is that one of your students?

No, his my nephew I taught him how to read.

Oh I see, at what age.

He was 4 years old and picked up the pace quickly.

Impressive you must be really proud of him.


I always knew how smart my Alex is.

Yes he is one very intelligent boy.

That he is. I even taught him to how to read when he was only 4 years old.

That is very impressive!

I know I'm biased but I think so too.

You are not wrong!


I bought Alex a couple more books today. He loves to read.

Alex? He's only 5 years old.

I know. He's always been really smart and he learned to read when he was four.

Wow, that's amazing. He should do well in school, then.

I hope so. He likes to read but I don't know about everything else yet.


Alex is so smart I taught him to read at 4 years old

What that's crazy! How much could he read

He could read like 1st grade level books

How much help did he need?

he didn't even need help after a while

That's awesome, you must have been a good teacher


Context: Quinn's son fell off his bike and needed stitches so Quinn took him to the hospital.

I can't understand why there is always such a long wait at the hospital. My son only needs a few stitches.

What happened that he needs stitches.

He fell off his bike. I need to put elbow pads on the kids because he is always falling.

As a boy dad you will spend lots of time in hospitals for stitches - get use to it.

We are going on an hour. How much longer will I have to wait.

As long as it takes. They are giving other patients the same care that you'll get.


Ouch are you okay?

I'm going to need stitches!

Let's get this fixed at the hospital!

Ok

Hurry I'll drive.

It's right up the street.


Context: Taylor's doctor diagnosed him with the flu but he was not careful about spreading his germs and he got Lee's son sick.

I am pretty sure Taylor got my son sick with the flu!

Why do you think it was Taylor?

He went to the Dr and was diagnosed with the flu and has been walking around coughing on everything and everybody!

That's terrible he needs to be more mindful about the people around him when he is sick

I agree, my son might not be sick if Taylor would wash his hands more often and keep to himself until he is better

I agree, I hope they are both feeling better soon!


I'm so annoyed with Taylor. Did you hear what he did?

I can't imagine. Taylor's usually so considerate.

Not this time. He knew he had the flu but he still came over to our house for dinner.

That's pretty irresponsible, especially with your kids in the house.

That's what I'm saying. And of course, my son ended up getting sick from it.

Poor little guy. I don't blame you for being irritated with Taylor.


You know, I'm really upset you got my son sick.

I am really sorry-I had no idea I had the flu!

Doesn't matter. You've got to be more careful about spreading germs!

I know, but I had no idea I was sick! What was I supposed to do?

You should always be careful not to spread germs whether you think you're sick or not. Wash your hands, don't cough or sneeze on people. You know, normal stuff!

Makes sense. Never thought about it that way. So sorry.


Context: Kendall told Aubrey many tales about her years spent as a dancer in a Las Vegas show.

I finally told Aubrey what I use to do for a living.

How did she take the news about you keeping it hidden for so long.

She was pretty pissed that I lied about what I did for a living during that time in Vegas.

I told you to tell her the truth about you being a dancer, when you met her.

I thought she was not date me.

If you told her the truth, she would not be thinking you lied about everything in your relationship.


It's really fun to be with Aubrey.

What did you two talked about?

I told him many tales about years I spent as a dancer in Las Vegas show.

And you called that fun?

It's fun, if you were there.

I wished I was.


It's true, I loved dancing! I think I professionally danced for about five years when I was younger.

Really? I didn't know that! Around here?

No, in Las Vegas. I was in a show at Caesar's, every Thursday and Friday.

That must have been so glamourous! Did you meet lots of celebrities?

There were quite a few interesting people I got to meet. Lots of fun and crazy times, but I don't really miss it that much.

I'm sure it was a lot of work. And so far away from home.


So after my first year in Las Vegas, I knew that was where I wanted to be.

Did you get a job as a dancer right away.

Oh, no way, Aubrey. I had to audition over and over again before I could get even the smallest of roles. But things picked up.

How long were you there before you started working steadily?

I got my first permanent job in Vegas in May, so I was there about 8 months before I was making a steady paycheck.

8 months is not too bad as long as you were able to support yourself in the interm.


Context: Aubrey used to work a lot, but since having children, Aubrey spent all her time with their children.

You know. I really don't miss working outside the home that much.

Dis you give it up for the kids?

Yeah. I used to work a lot, but since having children, my priorities have changed.

It sounds like you've changed a lot.

I have. I'd rather spend my time with my kids now.

I don't blame you. And I'm glad you are able to stay home with them.


I am quite busy at home these days.

What's going on?

I'm spending a lot of time with my kids.

Sounds lovely. What were you doing prior to staying home?

I used to work a lot prior to having kids.

Glad to hear you're being a good parent.


Being a mom is so much work compared to being a CEO.

You're joking right?

Nope, you think a CEO has to change diapers, deal with crying babies, keep them entertained, cook, clean, shop, pay bills and keep a husband happy?

Whoa, you got a point.

So I am the CEO of my domain!

Okay, I am stepping down as CEO of our company. Hope that's cool with you.


I have been slacking off at work.

But you have a lot of kids. They keep you busy.

I know. I hope I can get back to work one day.

Yeah, you used to work a lot. I know you must miss it.

I do. But you're right. My kids keep me busy and I want to dedicate my time to them.

You're a great mom.


Context: Ash gently moved Cameron an inch forward when the line opened up and Cameron was frozen in place in fear.

Here it is man all that you've been waiting for, the line to get into your hockey dream team!

Yeah... all my life's work, blood sweat and tears finally the hockey team interview...

Like you said blood sweat and tears, you got this!

I'm sweating bricks man, it's almost my turn

This is what dreams are made of, get in their!

Thanks for the push, you're the best friend ever!


Come on, Cameron. The line has moved forward.

Uh, I'm not sure I really want to do this haunted house.

It'll be fine. It's not that scary.

But what if I pee my pants?

It's not that scary! And when have you ever peed your pants?

It could happen!


Context: Riley couldn't make enough money to take care of her and put the baby up for adoption.

Put the baby up for adoption.

Let's make enough money.

Okay then we don't have to.

let's work really hard.

Yea we need some help in life.

Let's turn our life around.


I just hope I don't regret my decision.

That's a really tough thing to choose, but I think you did the right thing.

I know I couldn't make enough money to take care of her, as much as I wanted.

The family you chose is so great, she's going to have a really happy life.

I think adoption will allow us to both do well and be okay.

It's true. You made a good decision for both of you.


I don't know what to do anymore, I have no money for my baby.

You need to figure out a way that you can make money.

At this point it's too late.

So, what are you planning to do?

I'm going to put my baby up for adoption.

It's your decision, so I support you.


Context: Taylor gave roses to her friend after her friends Grandmother Rose passed away. She also gave her a card and a big hug.

I'm so sorry to hear about your Grandmother Rose.

I appreciate it. She was my favorite.

Grandparents are definitely special.

Thank you so much for the roses and card.

You're welcome.

I'm going to miss her.


Context: Quinn knew Ash well enough that they broken into and stole a jacket from Ash's locker.

Do you think Ash will know that we stole his jacket after we broke into his locker?

I don't know, does anyone else know his combination?

I am not really sure, I thought he gave it to a few people.

Well than it's his fault for giving his combination out to so many people.

That is exactly what I was thinking too.

His loss, our gain, next time, keep it a secret!


Do you know anyone that would want to buy this jacket that I stole from Ash's locker?

Not many people I know will buy stolen goods.

Ash will never know that it was  me.  We know each other pretty well.  She will never expect it.

Even though she won't blame you, I don't know anyone that would buy it because it is stolen.

Well they don't have to know that.

That is true. What kind of jacket is it?


But I knew Ash well enough to know he had a jacket in his locker.

Oh, what did you do?

We broke into the locker and stole his jacket.

For a prank, or for real?

For a prank; I'm going to wear it in front of him and see if he notices.

That should be pretty funny.


Context: Jan served the company well.  They were appreciated by others.

I think i have done a great job for my company these past six months

have they even thought of giving you a raise yet?

i really hope they do or im thinking about leaving

dont work for a company that doesnt appreciate the work you do for them

that is pretty solid advice, thank you


My bosses took me out for lunch today. It was such a nice surprise.

How nice of them! What was the occasion?

They said they just wanted to show their appreciation for all my hard work.

That's great that they acknowledged all that you do. Doesn't always happen.

I know, this is the first job where I've ever felt truly valued.

Gee, I wonder if I'll ever find a job like that.


I have been with this company for such a long time

I know Jan you have made such a difference here for that very reason

Exactly.  I am glad people apprecite and value my hard work

You're not wrong.  Youve done a lot for everyone.  Even the CEO

Yeah.  Everyone is finally starting to appreciate me

You are correct


Context: Casey was 75% full in the tank, but Casey bought gas anyway.

I bought gas earlier today.

Wasn't it 75% full though?

Yes, but we are going on a long road trip.

I guess, but couldn't you buy more down the road?

I don't want to stop, and anyway it's cheaper here.

I guess that makes sense.


I'm such a nervous driver that I filled up at the gas station even though it was already 75% full.

Why do you get afraid of running out of gas?

I wanted to drive to the state park and I don't know if there are fill stations on the way.

Oh, that makes sense I guess but I do think the park has a gas station too.

Oh, good because I am sure I'll fill up again once I leave there.

Yes, if you are that nervous about running out, I am sure you will.


I got an extra gas canister in the back seat.

Why do you take extra gas with you?

Gas prices are much lower in Binghamton compared to Buffalo so I wanted to get what I could before we left.

How much gas do you have now?

The tank is at 75% so I am good. It will likely take all of it to get to Buffalo and hopefully the extra gas will get us back.

Well, if not, you will have to buy the gas for the way back.


I just fill up for the road. I was down to three quarters.

There's no need to fill up right away.

I know but I am afraid of running out in case of an emergency.

You only work two miles away.

Rather be safe in case of the impending apocalypse?

Oh, I ignore those zombies. They are quite harmless.


Context: Bailey found out the blockade had affected food shipments, but was able to supply the school with food.

I found out the blockade had affected the shipment

Oh! How were they able to eat?

I was able to supply the school with foods from the store

Oh! At normal price?

Yes!

You are so generous!


Context: When Casey found Aubrey drunk in their car, Casey called Aubrey's parents.

I could not believe that when I got there Aubrey was in that car drunk!

Oh no, did you have to drive him home?

No I didn't have time, I had to call his parents and have them come pick him up

What a mess, I hope he wasn't mad at you

It doesn't matter, he couldn't drive and he needed to get home

You made the right decision, I would have done the same thing


I had to call Aubrey's parents because she was so drunk.

Oh God. Have you talked to her since?

No, I'll wait for her to call me.

Okay, good. Just give her some time and space.


I saw Aubrey's car in the parking lot after we left the bowling alley, and when I looked inside she was in there.

What was she doing in her car?

She got really drunk, and couldn't drive home, but I couldn't just leave her there in the parking lot.

Yeah, that's not safe. Did you take her home?

I just called her parents. I can't deal with her when she's drunk like that.

She is a handful when she gets drunk. That was probably the best route.


Context: Cameron petitioned the government for a new address due to her wanting to set up a tax shelter.

I will be sending in my new address paperwork today.

Why did you need that again?

I need a new address because I am setting up a tax shelter.

Oh for sure. You need to explain this more.

Sure, I'll get a coffee and talk about it.

Sounds great.


I'm asking the government for a new address.

Why is that.

I want to set up a tax shelter.

That is interesting.

I think it will benefit me greatly.

Best of luck!


I hope I can get a new address

Do you think they will give you one just for a tax shelter

I would hope the government would give me one, I don't see why not

Well, hopefully everything works out for you and you get it


I had to write an entire petition to the government to get my paperwork going.

Why didn't you just hire a lawyer to do it?

I couldn't afford a lawyer and I thought it would be simple.

Was it complicated?

It was time consuming but hopefully it will work.

I hope it will be successful.


Context: Remy witnessed an armed robbery, so when the police showed up she briefly described the situation.

Oh snap! I was in the middle of the big bank robbery in downtown.

No way. Are you shaken up?

No, not at all but the dude stepped on my foot while fleeing.

So you saw him? You know what he looks like.

Yes, we made eye contact and he gave me a dirty look.

Well, I hope you have a good description to share.


I was shaking a bit.  I just saw this robber with a black mask on pull a gun on the cashier.  I was right behind him.

That's frightening.  What happened?

The police showed up but the thief had taken off in a black SUV.

Did you give a description to the police?

They asked me what the person looked like.  I gave a description as best as I could. The person was masked, average built, and a couple of inches taller than me.  He spoke with a lisp.

That gives something for the police to go on.


Context: Austin just flew in from out of state and was visiting friends. Remy was happy to see Austin again.

Austin is in town.  He just flew in. I am going to pick him up from the airport.

How long has it been since you last saw him?

I would say three or four years.

That's quite a long time.

He's been out of the country fighting the good fight as part of the marines.

You guys have so much to catch up on.


Context: Remy could see that the dogs would be in pain forever due to their deformed legs so she had them amputated so they could be happy again.

The dogs seem happy now.

I think you did the right thing.

Amputating their deformed legs wasn't an easy decision.

Sometimes less is more.


I am worried about my dogs.

How are your dogs doing?

Well I took them to the vet yesterday.

What happened there?

I had to have their deformed legs amputated.

I am so sorry Remy! I know that must be so difficult for you and the dogs, but the main thing is that the dogs will be free of pain now.


We had the dog legs amputated yesterday.

Now they will be able to walk without being in pain.

We have to leave them at the vet for a week to heal.

You will probably need a ride to pick them up.


I need to get a wagon for my dog.

A wagon? Is your dog that lazy?

No, I had his legs amputated.

Wow, what was wrong with your dog's legs? That's terrible!

They were really deformed and causing him a lot of pain. My vet recommended he amputate them so the dog would be happier.

That's crazy. You should definitely get a wagon then.


Context: Bailey ate seafood every day until it made them sick, and then they never at it again.

I am never eating seafood ever again

Oh no. What happened?

I just kept eating it every day, but then I got really sick

Oh yeah, getting sick always makes you hate the food you had.

Yeah, it was partly my fault, but I just can't do it anymore

Well, give it a few weeks and you should try again


I'm never eating seafood again.

Seafood is so good, why stop?

I have been eating it every day for two months and it made me sick.

Too much of a good thing. How did it make you sick?

Food poisoning.

You need to make sure everything is cooked all the way, not just meat, but seafood too.


I felt like my stomach was going to explode!

What kid of seafood did you eat?

I had lobster stuffed with clams.

That literally made no sense.

That is what my stomach said!

Well, now you know to be careful.


Context: Addison and Ash were walking through a spooky forest. Addison held Ash tightly.

Addison kept on squeezing my arm so tight. She was cutting off the circulation.

That forest is spooky and it's dark, I get it.

Nothing was going to happen. We didn't even seen an animal.

Just because we don't see anything doesn't mean something isn't there.

Wolves live in the forest. They are more scared of us, then we are of them.

If they are hungry enough, they could attack.


When we got to the really spooky part Addison held me tighter.

The entire forest is spooky. What part were you at?

We were near where the tree stump is. It is really spooky there.

What about where the trees hang down low?

That part is spooky too but not as spooky as where the tree stump is.

I just don't like it there.


This forest is really creepy so I kept holding onto Addison nice and tight.

I know Ash!

I wonder how many people have gotten lost in here?

Or worse! I think that forest was in a Cold Case Files episode.

Don't say that! I'm really scared.

Hey, everything went alright after all.


Context: Skylar left my phone at work after I reminded her several times to pick it up for me before coming home.

I'm back from work, what a day!

Ugh, no I forgot.

She really needed that!

I'm sorry, I promise I'll get it tomorrow.

Please do.

Business is really picking up for my photography company.

Really?  What happened?

At the gala last week I took a lot of pictures of Tracy giving her speech and accepting her reward, and I picked the best one and enhanced them.  Tracy bought every single one!

That's great, and I'm so proud of  you.

And now all Tracy's musician friends are making appointments with my studio to handle all their image work, too.

You're gonna be so famous!  If you need help around the studio, many would love to work there and study under you.


I got hired to take pictures of Tracy at her publicity event. My first professional job!

Congratulations! Maybe someday you'll be able to be a photographer full time.

I hope so. I selected the best ones and hopefully Tracy will buy them all. I could use the money.

I'm sure she'll like them. Maybe this gig will get you another.

I left some business cards with a few people I talked to so, maybe.


Context: Robin knew that the local cafe would give their food to the people who really need it.

I feel really good volunteering at this cafe because they help people who really need food

It must be such a great place to work at and it has changed many lives

I think it has made me look at things from a different perspective

I hope they never go out of business because people depend on it so much


Context: Remy asked Taylor the reason why he is crying. Taylor said he killed his brother.

Hi Taylor what's wrong? You look like you've been crying.

Remy, can I tell you something?

Sure, Taylor. Shoot what is it?

I think I just killed my brother.

Oh My God! Wow! Are you sure he's dead?

He's right over there. And he's got no pulse. See for yourself.


I had the worst conversation of my life yesterday.

Here sit down, you look terrible, what happened.

Remember that kid Taylor from high school, I ran into him yesterday leaving the police station, balling his eyes out.

Man, what happened, he was a good kid.

He and his brother were struck by a drunk driver, he survived but his brother didn't and he was saying that it was his fault and he killed his brother.

That's so terrible, I am gonna reach out to the family and see what they need.


Context: Quinn took Bob aside and told him that she noticed how hard he has been working lately and appreciates his effort at his job.

I am very thankful towards Bob as he is helping me so much.  I know he has been so busy in your personal life

I am sure he is glad that he can help you as much as you need.

He was such a big help.  I am totally thinking of giving him a promotion

There is a lot of stuff going on there

Yeah there really is and he was so helpful

Of course. He is great.


One of the guys on my team Bob is a really good worker. I am lucky to have him under me.

Does he know you appreciate him?

Yes. I took him to the side and told him I noticed how much he does and I appreciate it.

That was really nice of you. Was he pleased?

He was. And I'm happy he was because I can't afford to give him a raise.

That's not great.


Bob is a good employee.

I have noticed that in him.

I took him aside and told him I had noticed how hard he has been working lately.

That must have perked him up.

I added that I appreciate his effort at his job.

You've won yourself a loyal employee.


I spoke to Bob today.

Finally. What did you say?

I took him aside and told him I noticed how hard he has been working lately and made sure he knows I appreciate his effort.

That's good. He'll feel motivated to even work harder.


Context: Skylar suddenly appeared. The others wondered what took her so long.

I was sorry to the group because I was so late.

What took you so long?

I couldn't find my uniform, so I had to search for a while.

Looks like you found it.

Yes, except one sock is still missing.

Oh, so your socks don't match.


I was at the amusement park with my friends yesterday and I got lost for a while.

Oh yeah? What happened?

I was lost for like 20 minutes and I didn't have my phone on me so I couldn't call them.

How did you find them?

I just bumped into them out of nowhere. They asked me what took me so long.

Well at least it all worked out in the end.


Context: Aubrey offered tribute to the gods. They did this out of reverence.

It was a weird ceremony.

What did you have to do?

I offered a tribute to the gods for reverence.

What's the point of all that?

It's so that we can get our wishes granted.

If I could get my wishes granted, I would offer much as tribute.


I went to church the other day.

That's nice, did you enjoy the sermon?

I did, thanks. I even offered tribute when they passed the plate around.

Why did you do that? I know you've been struggling with money lately.

I just couldn't help it. I felt such reverence that I felt compelled to give.

Oh Aubrey, you are so pious.


Context: Riley was competing in a gymnastics meet. Riley felt worse after she lost.

I've been feeling miserable since the meet yesterday.

I'm sorry. Did you fall off the balance beam or something?

Actually that's exactly what happened.

Did you get back up?

I did, but it didn't matter. I got a big deduction in my score, and I didn't place.

That's tough, but you're really talented. You'll win the next one.


I have been feeling down recently.

Why is that?

I lost a competition in a gymnastics meet.

Sorry to hear that.

Unfortunately, the lost made me feel worse.

Hopefully you feel better.


The gymnastics meet was this past weekend.

How did you do at the meet? Did you win.

I lost and tried so hard to beat her. I feel so bad about losing again.

If you keep practicing I know that you will win next time.

I don't think that I ever will.

You will win, you just have to keep practicing. I have faith in you.


It was tough today.  I lost my meet today in gymnastics.

I am sorry to hear that.

I had practiced so much.  It just wasn't my day.

You are such an athletic gymnast. I am sure you are disappointed.

I have to get back in the gym and keep practicing.

You'll get better and nail it next time.


Context: It was late at night and I was drunk so Sydney picked me up and parked my car.

I drove my friend home last night.  She was to drunk to drive.  I picked her up and parked her car.

That's nice of you.

I am usually the designated driver because I don't drink.

They can always count on you to be sober.

That's true.  I don't mind driving if that means all of my friends will make it home safety.

Drunk driving is such an issue when people are partying.


My friend needed me to come for her last night.

How come?

She was so drunk and thankfully called me.

You are such a good friend.

I went and picked her up in her parked car.

Good thing she didn't drive.


Context: Remy was worried about Tracy walking home alone at night so Remy followed Tracy home then when they saw they were home safe, they waved and continued on their way.

Remy was really nice.  He followed me home at night to make sure I was safe.  Once I made it home, he waved goodbye and went on his way.

That's very considerate of him.  Where did you meet up?

He's one of friends from my old school before I transferred.

You guys kept in touch, that's great.

I value his friendship.  He's an outstanding human.

That's nice.


I just got home. Remy is so sweet. He walked me home because he was concerned about my safety.

He is a nice guy. Is he still there?

No, he left as soon I was safely inside the house.

That's a nice friend. I wish I knew him better.


Remy walked me home last night after the fight.

He wanted to make sure you got home safe.

Yeah, we just talked and when he got to by street, he waved and went on his way.

You need to call him or get his some kind of thank you gift, to show how much you appreciated it.


Context: Austin has type 1 diabetes and has just realised that they have a hypo so Austin knew what to eat to help bring their blood sugars up.

I'm feeling a little better now.

I'm glad you knew what you needed. I was at a loss.

If that ever happens again, I might lose consciousness.

Then what should I do?

If I'm still awake, get me to drink some cola or another sweet drink.

Okay. I think I need to do some research so I can help you.


Having diabetes is no fun at all.

How often do you have to take insulin?

It's only a couple times a day for me.

Do you miss eating all the foods that you loved?

I'm still able to eat some good food but in moderation.

Is moderation the portion sizes that they give you at fancy restaurant?


I am used to eating certain foods.

Do you always watch what you eat?

Well I have diabetes so I need to know what to eat to  bring my sugars up.

Is it hard to keep track of?

No you get used to it when you HAVE to do it.

Yeah, I guess if you do it all the time.


I got these snacks from my aunt who said they were really healthy

Those are good snack and they have protein in them too

I think that if I keep exercising and eating right I will feel better

Just try and take care of yourself the best you can and stay on track with what you're doing


Context: Taylor had been sick so had missed a lot of school so had got a tutor to help them study and they worked very hard to make sure they caught up.

I got a tutor to help me with my homework.

That's is very good. Is he good?

Well, focus on the easy things first.

Yeah, that sounds like a pretty good idea.

You will get it eventually in the end


Context: Lee came to pick Quinn up but found out that Quinn had gotten another ride home.

I was looking for Quinn but I had no idea where to pick her up.

Oh, she didn't tell you where?

She did, but I didn't see her message on time.

And what did she say?

She got a ride from another friend and apologized for the inconvenience. She didn't do it on purpose.

Okay, that's fine then.


I am so mad I drove all the way to Quinn's job for nothing!

Why was it for nothing?

Because by the time I had gotten there Quinn had already gotten another ride home.

Did she not tell you she had another ride planned?

No, she said that she forgot that I was already on the way.

That must have been very inconveniencing, I'm so sorry to hear that.


Hey, have you seen Quinn around?

Yeah, he got a ride home with a friend.

Oh shoot, I was supposed to take him home.

He left with John like 10 minutes ago.

Oh well, thanks for letting me know.


I was in front of Quinn's home to give them a ride, but she had already left with another friend.

At least they got a ride.

Yeah, I even offered to take them somewhere else.

And what did they say?

They said they were almost done with errands, so I told them I am available if they need another ride sometime.

That is very kind of you to offer.


Context: It was time for dinner and Jesse had everything set. Jesse called their kids.

I got everything set up for their surprise dinner and called them to the table.

What happened when you told them they were going to Disney world?

They all started screaming and yelling.

It is nice to be able to have dinner as a family and give them that news.

It was, with all the time they have been spending with their dad.


I've got to get dinner ready for the kids.

How nice to have a family dinner.

Let me call the kids.

They must be very obedient.

Depends if they're bored or not.  If they're involved in a game, it's tougher to get them to the table.

Well, I hope you have a nice dinner!


Finally, dinner is ready!  Kids, I've been working hard on this special dinner all afternoon so get your butts in here and eat!

What did you cook?

My kids love homemade lasagna so I made that, and I also hand-churned some homemade vanilla ice cream and I prepared a perfect seven-layer-salad that my daughter loves.

Wow, you went all in on this awesome dinner!

yeah, it's a special dinner because my daughter is leaving for college in two months and I want to feed her all her favorite things in the next couple of months, all made by hand from scratch.

Well, hey, you got lots to celebrate! Enjoy your family dinner!


Context: Addison did not know what to do with her life, so she looked to Aubrey for direction.

I was lost.

You got lost?

No, I just don't know what to do with my life.

What can you do?

I am looking to Aubrey to give me direction.

He is not lost so good luck with that.


I talked to Aubrey today and I think she might be able to help me with my problems.

Why, what does she know that you don't?

I don't know. She just has a way of dealing with things that are negative. And things seem to work out for her.

It doesn't matter why...if it works, it works. Do it.

I will. I need a direction in my life. I feel like I'm running around in circles.

Give Aubrey a good chance...she might be able to help.


Context: During the birthday party for her sister, Sasha shared their toys with the other children.

It was really fun to share my toys with the other children.

That's nice of you.

I was really happy to do it.

I bet the other kids loved it.

They did. They all became my friends.

I'm not surprised. You're a good friend.


My sister had a fun birthday party.

Did you play with the other kids?

Yes, I shared my toys with them.

Did you get all your toys back?

Yes, but one of the superheroes broke.

I hope your dad can superglue him back together.


I think my sister is mad at me.

Your sister is so calm and level-headed, she could never be mad at you.

But my friend broke her favorite toy, and she's blaming me.

How did your friend break the toy?

During my sister's birthday party, I shared all our toys with the other kids, and my friend took my sister's doll and snapped it in two.

Ouch, that must have hurt the doll.


Context: Quinn was slicing ham at the deli, so Quinn turned the scale on.

After I slice up ham then I have to put it onto the scale to know how much I have.

What is it like using one of those deli slicers? They kind of scare me!

They are sharp and move quick, but as long as you are careful it is no big deal.

I can see why most people prefer an employee to do it for them.

I can understand that. Most people want employees to do it.

I am glad people are being cautious!


I am in the process of cutting up some ham at the deli, do you think my friends would like some

Yes, that sounds delicious!

Okay, let me get the scale and turn it one

Great! Do you use that to measure?

Yeah, I meaure the weight of the ham I cut

That's brilliant.


I love using the slicer at the deli.

It looks like a really cool tool.

Those things are very expensive.

Do you think they have one for home kitchen?

I'll have to look into that.

I'm doing a Google search on it right now.


I had to slice a lot of ham today.

How much?

4 pounds of ham!

That is a lot of ham.

It took a while, and at the end I had to give them 4.1 pounds.

That's more ham than they wanted, they must be happy.


Context: Cameron was adopted when they were young. They vowed to help children in the future by being a Dr and providing health care to them.

I think I want to help more children.

That's great, how so?

I want to take on more patients, mostly children.

I think that is a good idea.

Yeah, I think so too, it would make me feel better about myself.

Good on you, that is a great idea.


I feel really lucky that I was adopted into a great home.

I know that not every child is so lucky.

I want to help as many people I can when I grow up.

How are you going to do that.

I want to become a doctor and help children.

That is a very noble goal.


I was aked today why I became a doctor.

And why is it?.

It wasn't money, unlike many others, for me it was my adoption.

What about your adoption?

Well since I was adopted, I feel like I have  an obligation to help out sick children.

You have such a huge heart and I am proud of you for that.


I think I want to be a doctor. I was adopted and I want to help children just like I was helped by my parents.

That is wonderful. Being a doctor is so important.

It is going to be tough because I need to raise my grades to be able to get into med school.

Yeah , and take the right classes. Make sure you get as much help as you can from the college.

I am going to do whatever it takes . I am totally inspired now.


Context: sasha had two kids that liked to play with jesse so she sent them on jesse's way.

I had so much fun today!

What did you do?

Sasha needed some me time, so she sent her two kids my way.  We spent the afternoon playing games.

You are good with kids.  I can see you having a large family when you finally decide to get married.

I certainly am getting plenty of practice with Sasha's kids.  It is a good thing that they like me.

What's not to like?


I played with sasha's kids today.

Yes, that's great.

We all met in the yard.

Did they bring their toys.

They did.

I bet it was a lot of fun.


These kids just love coming over here.

You're just too fun and they can't pass that up.

Maybe I need to find out what it is so I can use it on adults.

Good luck with that one.

Are you good with kids?

Yes, with the ones I know.


My kids are playing with Jesse today.

That sounds like fun.

Yes, they have such a good time there.

What are you going to do with your free time?

I don't know, maybe I could grab a bite to eat?

Sure. That's a good plan.


Context: Jesse tried to stick it out through the storm but soon came to realize that they had to go.

The winds were pretty bad but I thought the building would hold!

Was the foundation moving?

It was! We had to get out of there.

Did you hurry out of the building?

I did and we all met below the underpass

That's a relief.


We encountered a horrifying storm while we drove across the country in our car.

What did you do?

We didn't know what to do.  We came from mild weather.  My girlfriend and I don't know to survive in a storm.  We just know we had to stop driving.

It could be very dangerous to drive in a storm.  Where were you?

We were in a small town in Idaho.  We ended up spending the night with a nice family.

That's great you found some people who took you in.


The storm was pretty strong.

Yes!

We tried to stick it out through the storm.

Oops, it was a bad one!

It started winding stronger so we had to go then.

Yes, that was the smart choice.


That was a close call. That storm was stronger than I thought it was going to be.

I am glad you're okay!

I am glad we decided to leave.

I feel bad for the people who didn't leave.  I hope they are okay.


Context: Riley got home for Christmas, after spending 6 months away from home in another country.

It's been half a year since I left, I'm sure they can't wait to see you on Christmas day.

I can't wait either. I look forward to seeing everyone.


Context: Quinn did not know how to cook. He burned dinner and it was ruined.

This is the last time I try to cook for anyone!

At least you didn't set anything else in the kitchen on fire.

Only the food!


I'm going to make dinner for us both.

That's great.

It will be ready in 10 minutes.

Sounds awesome, can't wait.

Sorry, I burned the food.

It's ok. You both can get take-out.


Context: Carson sees Cameron crying over what someone said. Carson tells Cameron not to worry that they are very pretty and beautiful.

The others were saying some really mean things about me.

I know, they can be really cruel.

I don't think I look that bad.

Forget them, you are a beautiful person.

Thank you, you are very kind.

You deserve better.


I heard what they said and I wanted to tell Cameron it's not true.

I can't believe people are so mean.

I know. I hope he realizes they're just jealous because he is pretty and beautiful.

That's nice, I am sure he's hurt to be treated that way.

I know it does. He's been crying a lot.

You've been so kind.


Context: Robin hightailed it out of there after he realized the vote was not in his favor.

I just left, I was losing by a lot of votes anyway.

It would have been better if you stayed.

Why should I, they clearly don't want me there.

But you should comfort your supporters.

Who is going to comfort me?


My heart is beating like crazy right now.

What happened?

I was too embarrassed to stick around for long after I realized the vote wasn't going my way.

I'm sorry you lost the election.

I really wanted to be elected president.

I know, but you'll have other opportunities.


Context: After weeks of careful research, Robin landed a new job with higher pay.

Hey hey! Guess what's new with me?

Yes it does, I used that info to get a new job!

That's great! Does it pay better?

Oh yes, it's way higher pay.

Congratulations, you can pay for lunch next time!


I finally found my dream job! I am so excited.

It took you long enough to find something you would love to do.

I had to research carefully so I wouldn't fall into another job I hate.

And how's the pay?

It is so much more. Finally, I can do what I love, and have the money to travel.

Congratulations! You should go celebrate.


Context: Robin and their friends wanted to go to a movie so Robin looked up movie times online.

I wanted to do something with my friends today.

Like what?

Maybe a movie, or bowling.

What did you gus went with?

We didn't feel like bowling after all. The internet shows a movie at 11:15 and if we want really late there is one at 12:45

If you go to the first one, you guys can also get a snack after.


Context: Skylar wanted to meet Alex for a long time, because she liked the way he looked.

I wanted to introduce myself to Alex.

Why do you want to meet him?

I just think that he is really cute.

Looks aren't all that matters, you know.

They are all that matter to me.

Everyone is different.


When will I be introduced to Alex

Why are you so interested in meeting Alex?

Because he looks so good! I have been guiding him for quite a while.

Yes, sure is handsome, but he has a bad attitude.

Oh, what a turn off. Never mind, I am not interested anymore.

Good. You won't like him at all.


Alex was over there talking to Cindy, flirting.

Really?

He is in my homeroom class.

Do you like him?

Well, he is kinda cute.  I've wanted to meet him for a while.

Why don't you introduce yourself?


I just think Alex is the cutest boy i have ever seen

I thought you said Brian was the cutest boy last week

Well, I guess I changed my mind now that this guy's here

You wouldn't mind if a friend of yours talks to Brian, then?

They should go ahead!


Context: Sydney cared deeply about all the people involved in the situation, but could only save one, and Sydney loved their sister more.

This was one of the hardest decisions I have ever had to make in life.

I know it had to be difficult, I can't imagine my business going under and only being able to keep one person.

I never thought it would get to this, but my sister is the hardest working one out of everyone!

I know she is, I have seen her in action when she is working.

I just hope I made the right decision and no one is mad at me.

You made the best decision for you and your business!


Burglars broke into our house yesterday and held us at gunpoint.

That's terrible!

It sure was, they made me choose who would die, my sister or my cousin.

What did you do?

I chose to save my sister even though I cared about my cousin.

That must have been a horrible choice.


Context: Needing some new ideas for the upcoming dance, Jesse asked them for suggestions.

I need help figuring out what dances to do.

Why not check youtube?

I don't know what to search for.

You can search for cool new dances.

You think it will work?

Yes!  You can also try dances from different cultures.


So, the next school dance is coming up in three weeks.

That soon? Have you decided on a theme?

Yes, I am aware. I really can't think of anything creative.

A night under the sea? Beach bingo? Pirates?

Maybe something not so dramatic. Beach bingo might work.

But then kids will show up in bathing suits and I don't know how the faculty will feel about that.


Okay, we need some new fresh ideas for the dance next month, the old theme is getting boring!

Do you have any specific ideas or themes you want to go with?

I'm not feeling creative so I was hoping they could throw in some suggestions and help me out here

If they don't, you could do the classic fancy pants style, dress to the nines, all black and white, formal

Hmm I'm not sure this is the right age group for that but thanks for the idea

Makes sense, what about a themed era like the 80's, neon and net, so fun!


I told them I need some new ideas for the dance next week.  I needed suggestions.

What kind of dance is it?

It's the annual winter dance.  I just wanted something different this year.

You were telling me the band is amazing.  Maybe you can get them to play.

That's a great idea.  We could have a live concert with the band for the dance.

It would be good practice for the band too.


I need a new song for the performance, I've already done my favorite ones

What kind of music do they want?

It still needs to be jazz

Is new jazz ok?

Yeah that would be fine as long as it has that rhythm

How about some Louie Armstrong?


Context: Carson made sure his friends choose the destination he wants to go to. Carson always got their way.

I told them we really should go to the beach.

I thought they wanted to go to the ski slope?

We cannot go there, the ski slope was shut down last month. I don't like skiing anyway.

But they did what you wanted to do last time!

Only because you did not want to go anywhere!

That is not true, they always want to go somewhere.


Context: Jordan layered eyes on Ash till she was looking good and ready to go to the dance.

Ash and I went to the dance last night.

Great! It took Ash forever to get ready, you know how she is!

Yeah, she's like that!

But she was finally ready and looked great, so it was worth it!

Wonderful! I'm glad you had fun!


Ash looked beautiful when we went to the dance.

I am sure you looked great too.

I'm so happy I got to go to the dance with her.

What time did you have to be back?

I promised mom I'd be back by midnight.

Well you had enough time to have fun.


Context: Every morning Sasha has cereal for breakfast. Sasha realizes there won't be enough in the jug for breakfast & runs out to the store.

Oh no!  It's almost empty!

What is?

The cereal container is empty.  I am going to have to go to the store this morning to pick some up.  If I do not, we will never get through the week.

Do you have coupons?

No. I'm set, thanks.  I've gotta run  See you later.

Adios!


I hate having to go to the store for milk in the early morning.

Oh, did your family leave you an empty milk jug again?

Well it was almost empty. I am so sick of their selfish behavior.

You should start a house rule where the last person to use it must buy a new jug.

That's a good idea. I think I will put that rule into place.

It promotes selflessness and responsibility, so I think you will be pleased with the results.


Context: After three years of being on opposite sides of the country, Jordan saw Casey's face again.

Man this was a long time.

Long time?

Yeah, It's been 3 years since I saw Jordan's face again.

Why?

Cause I was on the other side of the country.

You could have video called each other.


I'm so excited because I got to see Jordan again last night.

Who is Jordan again?

He's that friend of mine that lived on the other end of the country.

Oh, yes, that guy.

Yes, I finally got to see his face again!

That's so cool!


It was really nice to see Jordan again.

Oh yeah, it's been a long time since you've seen each other.

I know, its been several years, I think about three?

That is a long time indeed.

We shouldn't wait that long to see each other again.

I agree you should see each other again soon.


Context: Kendall was tired of the dog's behavior and guided the dog even more forcefully onto the couch.

The dog is frustrating me.

Give Prince a break.

No, I want him to get on the couch.

That's funny; most people want to keep the dog off the couch.

O.K., Prince, I'm just going to push you up.

That's one way of doing it.


I had to put the dog on the couch. He kept gnawing at the carpet. He's so weird.

What do you think is wrong with him? That is strange.

I don't know it's like he thinks it tastes good or is its chew toy or something.

Maybe you could take him to the vet to figure out what's wrong .

No, first I'll try the internet. It's cheaper.


I dislike the dog.

Dogs are so friendly. Why?

I am just tired of the dog behavior

Probably you didn't train it well.

Yes!Ii have to guide the dog more forcefully onto the couch

I think it needs proper training.


Context: Tracy went really well with the group. Everyone loved her personality and her ease.

I am enjoying everyone's company.

You are an asset to the group.


I think I blended well with the group earlier this morning.

That sounds great. What happened?

We had great conversations and it seems like everyone liked my personality.

That's nice.

Hopefully I get to see the group again.

Glad to hear you're doing well.


I just fit in with the group.  Everyone seems to love my personality and my ease.

You are just such as easy going person.

People tell me that, but I have my days.  I can get agitated and annoyed.

Everyone has those days.

You are right. I am pretty mellow.

That's why you have so many friends.  You are just pleasant to be around.


I met the group that composes the team for the project today.

Oh yeah. How did it go?

It went really well. We all have similar personalities and even though they are more experienced they said I seemed really comfortable, I fit right in.

That's good. You didn't feel overshadowed.

Not at all! I even felt comfortable enough to make a few jokes.

That's good, it sounds like you we're just one of the gang.


Context: There were not enough seats on the train for everyone, so Austin sat on Bailey's lap.

The train was so packed that I had to sit on Bailey's lap.

I bet you felt like a huge grown-up.

Oh yeah, definitely a grown-up seat.

Did you guys have a good time when you got to the park?

Yes, the game was great and saw the train ride was worth it.

Was the ride back as crowded as the ride there?


There wasn't enough seats so Bailey had to seat on my lap.

Were you comfortable with that?

Sure, she's my girlfriend.

Right!

My leg fell asleep though.

Oh, no!


So I had an interesting experience with Bailey today.

Oooh...I know how much she likes you. What did you end up doing with her?

It's kind of naughty, but it was born out of necessity. There weren't any more seats on the train, right?

Oh no...I know where this is heading.

So I sat on her lap. She jumped a bit but then put her hands around me. She was blushing the whole way!

Wow, well that's one way to heat things up. She probably liked your confidence...even if you had no other choice.


Context: Alex's dog needed to go to the vet so she took the dog to the car.

Rocky swallowed a sock the other day so I had to take him to the vet.

Is he all right?

Yeah they surgically removed it.

Did he go to the car willingly? I know how he hates the car.

He put up a fight but I eventually got him into the car.

Well as long as he's okay now.


I am planning on taking my dog to the vet in the morning.

Is the dog okay?

Yes. I just need to drive him there for a routine check-up.

You have so much compassion for that animal

This dog is part of my family.


I just put the dog in the car. He needs to go to the vet for a check-up.

Is there anything wrong or just routine?

No except his usual flea problem.

Well that's nice that he is healthy.


My poor puppy has a tummy issue again!

Oh no, again? That's the third time!

Fourth, actually. I didn't tell you about the other one. This time I knew she'd have to go to the vet right away. She needed meds!

Did she struggle to get in the car again?

Yeah, it was quite the ordeal. She was howling the whole way. I felt so bad.

Aww, poor dog. I hope she feels better after getting those meds.


Context: Quinn was sleeping on their stomach, so Kendall kissed Quinn's neck.

Kendall kissed me on my neck when I was sleeping on my stomach at the beach yesterday.

Wow! Things are heating up between you two.

I don't know about that. He didn't know I was only half awake .

That's a little weird because you were sleeping.

Yeah , a bit creepy and inappropriate. What should I do?

Well you can start by saying you know what he did.


When I was sleeping on my stomach, Kendall kissed my neck.

That's sweet.

Kendall is a sweetie.

She's such a gentle soul.

She does a lot to help animals in the shelter.  She has the biggest heart.

You should marry her already.

How is it going?

As a realtor I was successful at finding a buyer for the home.

Has the sale closed?

I worked closely with Casey and the house has been sold.

Congratulations.


I think I was able to get Casey a really good price and she will be happy

That is incredible, how much were you able to get in the end?

We finally settled on around 150,000 and I think both parties were happy in the end

I am glad that everything worked itself out and that everyone is happy

I told them to contact me if they need anything else.


Context: Sasha expressed Skylar's feelings in terms. Sasha thought she'd done a good job.

Sasha has really high emotional intelligence.

Did you talk to her about your feelings?

Yeah, and she expressed them in perfect terms, she did a good job.

Yeah, she's good at what she does.


Sasha tried to write down how I was feeling based on my body language and she was pretty good at it.

Isn't she supposed to be working with the FBI as a body language expert or something?

Yeah and she is really good at it because she got my moods down perfectly.

So does she work to figure out if people are lying or not?

Yeah and it is really cool to see her do this as well.

I bet she notices things in people that the rest of us would never notice.


Context: Kendall told Aubrey many tales. Few of them were true.

Have you heard any of Kendall's stories?

No. Are they any good.

Haha, not really, and they're all complete lies, too.

Well, most scary stories aren't true.

Are you sure about that?

Um, I think so?


Context: Alex was the bouncer at the bar that kai went to. Alex allowed Kai to enter even though she is underage.

My conscience is killing me, man.

Why, what happened?

So there was this girl at the bar that was trying to get in, I  could have swore she was about 19,  I let her in anyway. It was those eyes, those seductive eyes!

Like when my dog begs for an extra snack, it was those eyes those...

Let me stop you there, pal!

I was gonna say innocent...


I let Kai into the bar even though she's underage.

Were you the bouncer that night?

I was when Kai walked up with her friends.  All of her friends are of age.

Most of the time.

You're a good bouncer to know.

It was black. Burnt. But it still tasted okay!

You're very nice to have eaten it anyway.


Context: Aubrey met a creepy stranger at the park who was trying to get Aubrey to go home with them.

I had to use pepper spray at the park today!

What? Are you okay?

This creep was following me and trying to get me to go home with him.

That is awful, I am so sorry you had to go through that.

He wouldn't take no for an answer, so I had no other choice that to use my pepper spray.

You did well. For your safety, you should always carry it with you. You should also report it to the police.


Context: Kai waited for one of the other shoe to drop because he was just done with it all.

There are going to fire me today, I just know it.

You don't know that, maybe they are calling you into the office to give you a promotion.

No, you didn't see the bosses face.

You need to think positive right now.


I'm so fed up with all of it.

You've really put up with a lot in the past few weeks.

I feel like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop; just one more thing to happen.

What will you do if something else happens?

Then I'm out of here, I'm done with it all.

I don't blame you, but I hope things stay calm for you.


It's been such a hard summer with this coronavirus happening.

Yeah, it has been a very hard year indeed.

I was just waiting for the other shoe to drop and now my job is laying me off.

Oh, that really sucks!.

Okay, I need to look at my finances again.

This is a hard time for everyone so don't feel too bad.


I just bought a new pair of shoes.

Then why aren't you wearing it?

I already lost the right shoe coming up the hill.

I am sorry about that.

I am so upset that I am just ready to lose the other one.

Who knows, you might just find it later.

That sounds good. Now I'm craving an ice cream cone.


Skylar got a great grade on our math test.

That is amazing, What did she choose?

She got a vanilla cone after school.

That sounds lovely.

Yeah, I didn't find it, and I got grounded.

That sucks!


I was grounded.

What did you do?

I ran to the toy section when Remy's mom told me not to.

Did you see any good toys?

Yeah. There were some cool video games.

Well now is the time to try them out.


Context: Austin escaped from their cage and ran out into the woods to lay low for a bit.

Dont think so keep your head down and chin up

What does that mean, Why am i talking to you, you dont exist

No no no no

Just stay in the woods you will be fine


Being kidnapped was the scariest thing I have ever experienced.

I'm so glad you're safe and home.

Me too. You just can't be too careful with who you hang out with these days.

How did you escape.

After I broke the cage's lock, I ran to the woods and laid low until I came across some hunters who called the cops.

That sounds like such a harrowing tale.


Context: Casey looked all over their house for the missing remote and it was in the sink.

I've checked everywhere for the remote and can't seem to find it.

Have you checked in the kitchen?

Ohhh! I've found it in the sink. Thanks!

You're welcome.


I searched my house high and low for the remote the other day.  You'll never guess where I found it.

By the tv?

Nope.  It was in the sink.

The sink?  How in the world did it get there?

I left it on the counter and the cat must have knocked it in.

Hopefully there wasn't water in the sink when it went in.


Context: Jesse talked to Casey about anything fun going on that weekend. They wanted to go out.

I asked Jesse if there was anything fun happening that weekend. I wanted get out of the house.

So fun.  Pretty time for a pool party.

We can have fun in the water.  It's been so hot lately.

I will be so fun.


I asked Jesse to come surfing with me this weekend.

What did he say?

He said he has never been, seemed a bit taken back.

You should teach him!

That's what I told him, and he agreed to come!

Have fun!

Oh, its so nice to reconnect with old friends.


I invited a friend I hadn't seen in 15 years to the party and she actually came.

Wow. You guys must have had a lot to catch up on after 15 years.

We had a lot to catch up on, but I did not have a lot a time to talk since there were other party guests too.

That's too bad. You guys should try and keep in touch.

We are going to. We already set up a lunch date for this week.

That would be nice. You guys will have plenty of time to talk and catch up.


Context: Because Riley cared for them and wanted to show it, Riley stared into Taylor's eyes.

I finally broke out of my shell today and showed Taylor how much I like them.

Good for you! What did you do?

I stared into their eyes longingly...perhaps a bit too much, to be honest, but it seemed to work. I really do care for them and they needed to know.

How did Taylor react?

Well, Taylor smiled and returned my gaze...and then held my hand. I couldn't stop blushing! Maybe it'll lead to something, yeah?

I hope so. Would be nice to see you two together like that!


I feel so much affection towards Taylor, and sometimes it hard to show them.

What kinds of things do you do to show them you care?

I always love to look deep into their eyes. I feel so connected with them.

That's a good start. You should tell them what you feel when you look at them.

I know, but I get lost in their eyes and lose my confidence.

I'm sure Taylor would be happy to hear how you really feel.


Context: Kai is known to be a bit of a troublemaker. Aubrey didn't like Kai.

I really hate Kai because he is always causing problems.

Is he that bad?

Yeah, he really gets on my nerves when he acts up.

Doing what he does all the time can't be funny anymore.

No, it really isn't and if he ever messes with me I'll punch him.

You might get a suspension if you hit him in the face.

It's always nice to have a report card that you can happily show your parents!

Very true!! I had 3 A's and 3 B's.

That's really good. You must be working hard at school.

I am. I like making myself and my parents proud.

Looks like you're being successful in that endeavour.


Context: Is the poem related to the others and how would another poem be helpful for taylor .

I'm trying to sort out which poems to include in my anthology for publication.

How are you deciding which poems to include?

I'm categorizing poems to determine which ones are related to the others.

Are you using any other criteria to decide?

Yes, I'm also considering how the poems would be helpful to my career.

That makes a lot of sense and I wish you the best with your publication.


Context: Taylor restored the officer to their former position and gave the officer a raise and a paid vacation.

I was happy to be able to restore Officer Jones to his prior position.

Oh. How did you come to that decision?

After my investigation, I found no wrongdoing so I was able to clear the officer and return them to their position.

I bet his was happy to hear that.

Yes, and I also was able to proceed with his raise and a vacation paid.

That is really nice for Jones. I am sure the vacation was a really nice touch.

Context: Alex brought the tree to their yard, which had plenty of fruit to bear.

Look what I got from the neighbor. They had to remove the tree so I told them I'd take it.

There are a lot of apples on the tree. Will you be picking them before you plant it?

It would make the tree lighter and easier to work with. I'll do that and I'll dig the hole after.

I didn't know trees grew fruit when they were that small. I thought it was only on big trees.


This tree will grow plenty of fruits

What kind of fruits does it bear

I'm not so sure but I know it will be full of fruits sometime soon

I should try a few when you pick them

Sure! And I will share with everyone.


I saw a lady throwing away a mango tree this morning when I was on my walk

Were the trees dead or damaged?

No, they looked great, it had huge mangos hanging from the branches!

Wow I wonder why she was throwing it away?

I have no idea, but I took one of the trees home to plant because it is full of fruit!

I would have too, enjoy those mangos


I decided to buy this apple tree and plant it in my yard.

Nice, will you give away some apples once they grow fully?

Of course, there's going to be so many apples on it.

Who doesn't like apples.

Apples are my favorite fruit, that is why I went with the apple tree.

Nice, I bet you won't get another one for double the apples though.


Context: Robin was walking to work and suddenly tripped over a large bump in the sidewalk. After getting up, Robin continued on their way.

I was walking to work yesterday and wasn't looking at the sidewalk and fell

Typical city workers never fix what we pay them for.


Context: Robin changed their baby Aubrey into a swimsuit before they both went swimming in the pool.

Baby Aubrey look so cute in her swimsuit.

Babies are adorable.

She is the cutest, it's her first time in the pool.

Yeah but wait a few minutes and she won't want to get out.

Cute as a bug.

I changed her into a swimsuit before we went into the swimming pool.

That sounds fun!

She pooped in the swimsuit.

I'm not changing that.

What did you change it to?

Ranger. He just looks like a Ranger to me.

Did the name change confuse him?

No, he wasn't Bailey long enough to know that was his name.

That's good.  Ranger is a great name for a dog, by the way.


God what a horrible name for a dog. "Bailey". Terrible

What's wrong with that name? It doesn't sound that bad.

It doesn't sound that good, either. Her name's no longer "Bailey".

Oh boy, what did you change your dog's name to?

I changed it to "Pickles". It has a better flow to it.

You named your dog "Pickles"? Hoo boy, that's a goofy name.

I'm so sad but I guess it wasn't your fault.

I feel terrible, I hope my neighbor can forgive me.

I get it, I just feel bad but there's nothing you could do.


I did something horrific this morning. I'm a horrible person.

You're not a horrible person. What happened?

I accidently ran over my neighbor's animal.

What? How did that happen?

He ran out from under the fence while I was driving out.

The cable channel that the game is on finally started working so we can watch it now.

What was wrong with the channel?

It was just a black screen for hours this morning and I thought we weren't going to be able to watch it.

It is a good thing it works otherwise you'd have to go to a bar.

I know, the bars around here charge to get in when there is a game too.

That's what I mean, thank god the channel came back on.


Today has been a great day.

Wonderful. Let me know about the details.

I had been looking forward to watching a game. And I was able to see the game live on my HDTV.

The big Yankees game.

My friend's house, they have a bigger tv!

Okay you should bring the pizza and wings

I'll be over there in 5 hours

Perfect timing

I kissed them and took them to my bedroom.

Riley called me this afternoon.

Oh did she? How come?

We're working on a project and she wanted me to know the latest.

That is really nice to help Casey when you have your own project to work on.

I don't mind helping her, it gives me extra practice and it looks good on my resume.

I am sure she appreciates the help.


I'm really nervous about this presentation I'm doing to show Casey.

What is it for?

I'm going to start working to write for a new pilot that's gonna air on tv.

If you have the job, why do you still need to do the presentation?

Because Remy wants to make sure that the writing can be filmed.

I hope Remy approves your work since I know it's going to be great.


Context: Remy lost most of their friends over the years, and grew more cynical each passing year.

Hey, how's it going? It's nice to hear a friendly voice. I don't hear one very often.

You've turned into a recluse, almost.

I know but I don't like being around people that much. I don't know many people anymore.

That's because you don't act like you like anyone. You argue with everyone.

I probably am a little too cynical but some people's ignorance just pushes my buttons.

Well, try to chill out a little. It's not worth fighting about every little thing.


Context: Remy put his arm around their neck, even though they were showing clear signs of discomfort.

I can't believe what that guy said to me, I was so mad I had to put my arms around his neck!

Did he try to stop you?

Well, I could tell he was showing signs of discomfort but I was so angry I did it anyway.

Wow, Remy, you should really consider seeing a therapist about your anger problems.

You're right, I have been dealing with anger problems since a child. It's time I get some help.

I'm glad you're interested in getting better, that's a great start.


I had to hold this guy down because I think he broke his neck

You must have been very careful.

Next time put something soft under his head so he isn't in too much pain

Today a car just cut in front of me!

I hate that! What did you do?

I honked my horn.

Did the person in the other car do anything?

Yes, he gave me a really dirty look.

That person is the kind of driver that causes accidents.


Drivers these days are out of control. People drive like it is a deadly sport.

Yes, people drive like they're racing. Did anything happen?

Someone cut in front of me and made me honk at them!

You have to be careful out there! You could have an accident.

Yeah, I will. I don't want to be dealing with any road rage anytime soon.

That is very deadly.

I know. I was overworked as is, and she was just playing on her phone all day while I picked up the slack

Yeah, that's so not fair. I'm glad you told your boss.

Me too. It will be good for me to get a break.

For sure, you deserve it.


So I ended up getting one of my co-workers demoted.

How did that happen?

They were never doing their work on time and always passing it on to others.

I hate those types of people that can't pull their own weight.

Tell me about it, I complained to my boss and it was taken care of pretty soon after that.

Well I'm glad you spoke up. If you didn't they would have kept taking advantage of peoples' kindness.

I couldn't afford a haircut the other day.

I tried to convince the stylist to give me one for free, for practice.

Why would she need to practice?

Well, my hair is unusually unruly, and the stylist could learn to deal with that type of hair.

Apparently your argument didn't work.


I had to ask my hairdresser for a free haircut earlier.

How come?.

I left my wallet at home.

You are so forgetful, did they give you a free haircut?

I am, sadly they didn't so I had to rebook.

Next time don't forget your wallet.

I hope she wasn't wishing you were dead, too.

You are not funny.

And you are not dead.


Aubrey went to view caskets for my father earlier.

That must have been hard for you both.

Yes, it was tough, Aubrey said she couldn't stop being reminded of me.

You and your father did look a lot alike.

Everyone always thought that.

Well, let me know if you ever need anything.


I'm really missing Aubrey these days.

Why's that? I thought the two of you had a falling out.

Yeah, but she told me that at our dad's funeral, she thought of her childhood memories of me while standing over the casket.

How did you respond to that?

I burst into tears. I feel badly about how our relationship turned out.

You should apologize to her and move on.

You owe them an apology.


The police came calling at my door this morning

Are you OK, what happened?

As I was driving down the 4th street, someone blocked me and I pointed middle finger at him

But did that warrant him to call the cops on you?

No, he didn't call the cops, he was a cop!

Oh! damn, sorry about that


I feel horrible. I gave the kids the middle finger I was so angry.

That is pretty bad, but not the worst mother ever. Every parent has their limits.

The kids just were shocked. They never saw that side of me before.

You really should have a talk with them about it. It will help everyone to deal with the situation.

You are right. I don't want them scarred for life.


I really crossed the line today.  I am a horrible mother.

Why? What did you do?

I got so angry that I wasn't thinking straight. I flipped off my kids with my middle finger!

You aren't a terrible person. My anger has gotten the better of me before.

What should I do now?

Sit them down and talk to them about why you felt that way and why your actions were inappropriate.

I visited a friend, so I got to just hang out with her, too.

That's my favourite kind of trip.


I took the train to Chicago this weekend.

I've never been on the train. What's it like?

It's like the bus, only better. I had my own compartment. I had fun seeing the sights.

I really like road trips.

And you would like being on the train. It's like a moving Hotel.

I had never thought of it that way.

Was he just pretending to work then?

I don't know, he asked me to grab them for him as usual.

You should be used to this.


Carson asked me to grab his tools for him so he can fix the air conditioning.

It's been so hot the past few days.

We are in the middle of summer now so I expect it to be scorching for many days to come.

Did Carson fix the AC?

He did. He worked on it for an hour and now my AC is working.

At least you don't have to suffer in the heat.


Have you seen the wrench and the screwdriver set?

No I have it, are you fixing something?

No, Carson is fixing the AC and forgot to grab them before he went under the house.

Your AC is under the house?

Yeah, that was a shocker to me too.

I'll help you look for them.


I was so happy Carson decided to go under the house to work on the air conditioning!

I bet. How did it go?

It was kind of funny, actually. He was already under the house and forgot his tools!

So he had to come back up to grab them?

No, he asked me to do it. I was close by.

Oh, good. It's so much better that he didn't have to go all the way back into the house to get them.

Very cool! You're a multi-talented person.


I love playing musical instruments.

Really? what instruments do you play?

I play mostly the flute but I also play the Tuba.

That is amazing, are you good?

Others tell me I am and I put a lot of passion into it so I guess I am.

You should play me a song sometime.


Context: Tracy sent an email to their boss from work, but found out later he didn't get it.

I got so mad at my boss. I sent him an email and he just ignored it.

You're kidding? Why would he do that?

I didn't know but I confronted him and he had no idea what I was talking about.

He didn't get the email?

I checked my email again and found I sent it to the wrong address. So embarrassing.


I wonder what happened to my email.

When did you send it to?

My boss. But he claimed he didn't receive any email from me.

Maybe you mistyped his email address or your system could be down.

I guess that's possible. I'm just send it to him later.

Or you can just print it and send it over through the messenger.


I had sent an email with the last part of the project that I completed. Then I got sick and didn't really follow up with him.

Did he receive it?

That's the problem. He didn't. I was too sick to realize that.

Are you in trouble?

Sort of. The client is really mad because he thinks we just don't care.

What can you do?


Context: Aubrey was having a fight with Kai. Aubrey decided to ignore and not say a work to Kai for the rest of the day.

I am getting so tired of my cubemate Kai.

What happened now?

He keeps moving his items onto my desk. I asked him about it and he got indignant.

Wow. Pretty gutsy to take people's space and get mad about them saying something about it.

I didn't say a word to him for the rest of the day.

Do you think he noticed?


I am not speaking to Kai all day because he is rude.

What happened between you two?

He said I didn't help on a project when he knows I was dealing with stuff at home all week.

Did you explain that to him?

Yes but he did not seem to care, he only cares about work.

Well then just worry about yourself and he will get over it.


Context: Taylor's father was going to marry his long time girlfriend, Anna.

I can't believe my dad is getting married again.

What is his girlfriend's name again?

Her name is Anna, and I don't like her.

You probably don't like her because she's not your mom.

That's probably true.

I don't remember you actually saying anything bad that she's done.


I am so happy for my dad, he finally proposed to Anna.

Wow that's wonderful, haven't they been together for years?

Yes, they've been in love for five years, and finally he pulled the trigger.

I am assuming she was excited? I would feel a little impatient.

They had some money issues and that's why he waited so long. She knew they were going to get married but they needed to work through the problems first.

That makes sense. Don't want to get married with a lot of debt. Congratulations to them!


Context: Quinn changed the sheets two times and the sheets looked the best they have ever been.

I actually changed  my sheets twice in a month.

Look at you go. Are they finally clean?

You know that I have had to wash them a few times to get some of the stains to finally go away.

That is kind of gross. I don't need to know that.


Context: Even though Jordan had many chores to do, Aubrey wrested the day away from them.

I played with Jordan all day.

Yeah, but I was bored and wanted to hang out.

You can't do that all the time.

Why not?

Because he has other responsibilities.

Did you tell him?

I already confronted him.

I hope things get better between the two of you.


So Lee wanted me to draw his analogy for him.?

Really?

I asked him for some help with it too.

Did he help at all?

No, I wasn't very pleased with his input.

Next time Lee should just draw it himself.

Oh, what did you serve him?

That sounds delicious.

It was!

That's good.


My son did such a good job with his presentation, I made his favourite dinner for him.

Awesome, he is a really good boy, what did you make for dinner?

I seared a huge steak and made his favourite mashed potatoes with garlic and butter.

Oh that sounds good! I bet he was happy to see that!

He was indeed and let me tell you, he ate every bite of that steak!

I bet he was stuffed afterwards!


My son got a good report card.

Oh yeah? Are you doing anything to celebrate?

Yes, I made a dinner, we had a giant steak and a side of mashed potatoes.

That seems like a great reward.

Yes, he really loved it!

I would too! You should make it for me sometime.


Getting straight A's can really pay off!

How much money did you get?

I didn't want money, I wanted a Porterhouse steak dinner with my mom's homemade mashed potatoes and corn on the cob.

That sounds really good right now!

I got to go to the butcher and pick out my own steak so I picked the biggest one they had.

Knowing you the only thing left was the bone!

It's not going to happen again.

I hope it doesn't.


I only did it as a dare!

I told you to stay away from that girl, she would get you in trouble.

I was so embarrassed when the security guard asked me what I had, I put my hands over my face, trying to hide from the people taking pictures.

I will be there in 30 minutes to bail you out, but you have to repay me the money.


Context: Carson pulled the money away, changing his mind about buying the car.

I almost went through with the deal buying the car.

Oh, yeah? How much was the final negotiated price?

It was over $30,000 and exceeded my budget. I didn't buy it after all.

How much do you really need a new car?

I don't really need a new one for another five years.

Yeah, you've had your current car for less than ten years anyway.


You know what give me my deposit back.

We were just about the to sign, the car is almost all yours.

I just got a text from my brother the car is listed for five thousand less down the block.

That's impossible, I can maybe take of two hundred.

No just give me my deposit now.

Let me go and get it.


You know what, I think this car is too expensive for me.

How about we find you a less expensive car on the lot then?

I think I will pass today, on second thought I should save more money.

Feel free to come back when you are ready sir.

I will, thank you for your time here today.

No problem at all.

I secretly put Austin's father's brother in  model train contest. He'd never do it because he is too shy, but I know he's going to win because his is amazing.

I saw the train set once. It was definitely impressive. What do you think he will say?

I hope he'll be happy if he wins. If not, I will try to keep it from him.

It's good for him to feel proud of himself for accomplishing something.


I entered Austin's father's brother into a model train contest.

I had no idea his uncle was even into that.

Yeah, he is. He has a huge model train in his basement.

Why didn't he enter himself into the contest?

He should share the prize with you if he wins it.

Yeah, my parents were so mad when they got home. I'm grounded for months.

Hopefully they let you off early. That stinks.


Context: Cameron wasn't sure which one to decide, so he kept his options open.

I wasn't sure which dress to wear to the wedding so I bought both.

Why would you buy two dresses that are so similar?

Because I couldn't decide and was wasting so much time in the store.

Well which one do you like most?

I told you I like both of them. I will return the one I don't wear.

Isn't that more wasted time?
