Bailey brought my girlfriend to see me at the bar.

Did you pour them drinks?

Of course, I know my girlfriend loves tequila so I gave her one too many!  I made Bailey a vodka drink with strawberries.

That sounds amazing.  You are such a great bartender.

I was happy to see them.

Did you guys hang out after you got off?


Context: Kendall was working again at the bar so Bailey took Kendall's girfriend out to see Kendall.

Bailey took my girlfriend out to see me the other night.

That was really nice of her. Why did she do it?

I was stuck at work at the bar.

Those shifts are really long, I'm glad you got to see your girlfriend.

Me too, it was really nice to see her during a long shift.

Make sure to thank Bailey for the ride!


Context: Quinn was Bailey's child and after reading every night to them for years, Bailey developed Quinn's interest in reading.

I've always been a voracious reader, but did I ever tell you about why?

I just assumed you were born interested in books.

Not at all. I used to read them every night before bed to Bailey, this is why he's become a bookworm now.

That's sweet.

I think that's the reason why I feel so passionate about reading.


It is so funny how things work out sometimes.

How do you mean?

Well, instead of my dad being the one who reads the most, it's the other way round.

That's really odd.

Right, he ended up getting me interested in reading when I never had been before.

That's a nice bonus, isn't it? Everyone can learn to love to read.


You have any books I can borrow? I'm out of stuff to read.

I can look. Every time I see you, you have a book in your face.

My mom, Bailey, she read to me every night. Then we started reading together, I love reading.

What kind of books do you read?

I love horror and mystery the best. I'll read anything though.

Maybe you should get a library card. You would have a steady supply of books at your fingertips.


Ever since Bailey was a baby, I read him a story every night.

Even when he was a baby? Did it put him to sleep?

Yes, after awhile. But, it was a bonding thing then.

Does he like to read now that he's older?

He's a book nut...just like me. The years of reading to him made him love them.

You're a good dad, Quinn. Bailey's a lucky boy!


My son is an avid reader. He can spend the whole day at the library 24/7.

That Is a great source of knowledge. When did he acquire his interest in books?

Since he was little. Probably because I read to him books every night to put him to sleep, four years.

He must be very smart like you. Maybe I should start reading for my baby too.

Yes that really helps a lot with child development.

Thanks for the tip. I hope he grows up interested in books, too.


Context: Aubrey had so much trouble with their car.  They decided to buy a new one.

I had so much trouble in the car.

Let's just buy a new one.

Okay, what should I buy?

An electric car.

Not many points of failure or moving parts.

Yes, that's correct.


It seemed that every month something went wrong with the car.

Did you have a good repair technician?

The technicians did a good job, but the cost of the repairs added to high amounts.

How did you solve the problem with the car?

I bought a new one.

I'm happy for you. You should have better luck with your new car.


I am just so sick of my car breaking down, I really needed a new one

I'm glad you finally got one! It's so nice

The air conditioning even works!

That is a game changer, especially with summer coming up.

I know! No more sweaty car rides

You are living the high life.


Context: They went into the class and started stretching and found that yoga helped with his pain.

I can't believe I got tackled that hard.

It was a brutal game.

Did you see the size of the quarterback?

Yeah but stretching should help a lot.

I can already feel it helping and think I'll start coming to more yoga classes.

Yoga is great for so many things.


I've been having pain in my back for a long time now.  It just doesn't go away no matter what I do.

That's annoying.  I experience chronic back pain too.  I almost got addicted on painkillers last time I saw a doctor.

I am trying not to take too many strong drugs.  I went to yoga the other day and did a lot of stretching and that helped with the pain.

You should keep doing that then.

That's what I am thinking.  I am going to yoga once every two weeks now.  Maybe I should go every week.

I might join you.


Yoga definitely helps with the pain that I have in my back.

I knew it would help you, you just had to try it first.

I think I want to actually sign up for the class for the rest of the year.

That is great! I will go with you to all the classes I can if that makes it better.

Definitely, it is good to have someone for support when you're trying to improve yourself.

No problem, anything for a good friend.


Context: After a long busy day, Tracy called him back in to fuss at him.

He just doesn't do anything he is supposed to do.

Is that why you called him to your office?

I just want him to know that he works in a team, not by himself.

He doesn't seem like a team player.

I know, that's part of the problem.


Context: Bailey invited all of Kai's friends to the hotel and they ended up trashing the room but Bailey did not care.

I'm going to get a huge bill from the hotel when I check out tomorrow.

Oh how come? Did you raid the mini bar?

Well that too. But I invited all of Kai's friends over last night and they trashed the place. I mean bad.

Oh you must be angry! You should make them pay for it.

Nah I don't care, I'll take care of it. My dad is rich.

Wow, you're lucky to have such a rich dad.


Man last night was wild!

Did you get to the hotel room alright?

Yeah, not just that, me and Kai's friends ended up thrashing up the whole room.

You idiots, too much alcohol again let me guess?

Yeah, speaking of.. Do you have a glass of water?

Here, get some rest now.


Last night was, well, interesting.

Run me through it.

So I got quite close to Kai's pals and they came over to my hotel room. They ended up smashing up the place.

You must be mad surely!

I actually found the whole thing pretty damn funny, the expenses will get put on my company card anyway.

You're literally living life on the edge.


Context: Riley wanted to get a raise, so he increased the quality of his work product.

I think I need to increase my pace if I want to get a raise this year

I'm sure you will at the rate that you're working

I think I'm going to put some overtime hours in as well if I can

Doesn't hurt to make some extra money I guess


I made sure my work looks good instead of subpar

You are trying to perfect your craft?

Yeah I want a raise, I'm tired of a poor salary

You need to up your game

I'm tediously working on my writing

You will get that raise in no time


I've been putting in more hours lately, sorry we haven't been able to hang out?

I know, I am kind of annoyed about that, but that's fine. Work busy?

Not particularly, but I am trying to pick up more assignments so that I can get a raise.

Oh, good for you trying to burn the midnight oil! Have you considered a higher paying job? Might be easier.

I did but I kind of like it here and my co-workers.

That's cool. Well, I hope we can hang out soon!


I wanted to increase the quality of my product, so I started hand carving my figurines.

That is a good idea.  The old company that you went through didn't have much quality to their figurines.

Yes, these hand-carved ones should be better to my customers.

I think so too.  They sure do look a lot better.


Context: Even though she was very popular and a cheerleader, Cameron was pretty bad at sports. Still, the boys picked her first for their team every time.

I am really terrible at sports.

Then you must be good at other things.

Yes, I do cheer-leading, everyone at school knows and adores me.

Must be nice being you.

It is. The boys always pick me for their team.

Your lack of sports knowledge doesn't seem to stop them


I can't stand playing sports and they always pick me first for the team.

It is because they all want to show off to you.

I just want to cheer and don't even like sports.

You are nice and good looking, they like you.

I am ugly, they only like me because of my sister.

No, the guys all like how you are and that is why you are popular. Who knows that girl!


It doesn't matter how hard I try, I am an absolute klutz on the field.

Sports just isn't your thing. There's nothing wrong with that.

I just don't like not being good at something. Stuff usually comes so easily to me.

Well, the boys choose you first whenever they're picking teams. So what does it matter if you're good or not?

That's a good point. I mean, they seem to think I'm good, apparently. Right?

Almost. They think you're funny, which isn't quite the same thing.


Hah, I love doing sports in PE.

Why? I thought you were terrible at sports.

I am. But I just love being fought over by the guys. They all crowd over me like needy puppies, it's so cute!

Hah, but what about when the time comes to play?

Oh, it's not a big deal. I just pretend to get hurt and then some big burly guy comes over and carries me off the field.

Good strategy, as long as it's not the teacher.


Context: After watching the movie Easy Rider, Casey wanted a motorcycle.

I watched the best movie the other day.

What was it?

Easy Rider, now I want a motorcycle.

That was a good movie.

Yeah it was so cool.

Hope you can get the motorcycle you want.


I love this movie and how cool his bike is.

It is cool, makes me want to ride.

I really want to get a motorcycle now

Why don't you?

I think I am going to just need to learn how to ride a bike.

It isn't that hard I can teach you how to.


I just watched the movie Easy Rider.

Did you enjoy watching the movie?

Yes I have always wanted a motorcycle since watching the movie.

You should get yourself one, careful though, I hear it's dangerous.


Context: Casey crunched the numbers, but could not find a way to pay for the cruise.

Damn it, this is bad

What's going on

I've been trying to find a way to pay for this cruise all morning, but can't put the funds together.

Not working out?

No, nothing I do will be enough

I'm sorry, anything I can do to help?


I don't think I can go on the cruise this summer.

Oh no!  Why is that?

I crunched the numbers and I just don't have the money.

Can you get a part time job?

I'm already working two jobs and have that wedding coming up in March.

Oh I forgot about that.  We will miss you on the cruise!


I think I might have to work some extra hours to be able to take the cruise

I know a friend that is hiring for part time  servers at  his restaurant

That would be amazing if he could get me a job

Just let me call him up tomorrow. I can see if I can get you an interview


Context: Sydney needed a new car after she got into a bad accident and totalled her old one.

I now need a new car.

Didn't you just buy one?

Yes I did, but I ran into an accident.

Don't tell me you wrecked it all up.

That is what exactly happened, the old one got completely written off. That is why I need a new one.

Better be careful.


I got into a bad accident, and now I need to get a new car.

Were you hurt in the accident, or was it just the car?

Thankfully it was just the car, but it was completely totalled.

That's got to be hard. Do you have a loaner car?

No, so we're just operating with one car right now.

I hope you find a new car soon.


I got really lucky I wasn't injured in the car accident.

The car looked like a crushed tin can.

Do you like this sedan?

I like the car but not the colour.

I think I will get this one but in silver.

I think silver works the best for the climate.


I think I might get a new car from the new car place in town

I heard they were cheap and had some great deals there

Let's head over there and check them out real quick, my old one is completely useless after that accident.

Okay, let me put my shoes on and I will meet you outside

Just hurry up


Context: Jesse went with his friends to Disneyland.  Jesse rode a roller coaster fearfully.

I went to Disneyland last week.

Who did you go with?

I went with my friends.

Did you ride any fun rides?

We went on a lot of rides, but I had a scary time on the roller coaster.

I don't blame you for that. Those rides are scary!.


I went with my friends to Disneyland.  They wanted to get on a roller coaster,  I was so afraid.

Did you enjoy it?

Not at all.  I threw up when I got off.

That sounds horrible.

I went to the bathroom and changed, I had brought a change of clothes just incase.

That's a smart thing to do.


Context: Cameron rolled the words off of her tongue. She needed to get her point of view across.

Hi there, how are you doing? I had an interesting day at work today.

My day's been fine. What was so interesting at work?

We had a corporate meeting. One of my colleagues started belittling my input as we discussed the employee retention situation.

In an important meeting like that, everyone's point of view should matter.

That's exactly what I told my colleague. I told that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, including myself.

That was an excellent thing to say! You are so intelligent.


I feel like my teacher is upset with me.

Well, you did launch into a long, angry speech about how wrong she was, so of course she's upset with you.

I couldn't stop the words from rolling off of my tongue though. I was just so upset that she wasn't listening to my point of view.

You need to learn how to control yourself more.

I just wanted to get my point of view through to her.

You don't need to shout to do that, though.


I had a hard time explaining myself earlier, but I eventually managed to get the right words off the tip of my tongue.

I hate that feeling, when you know what you want to say but you can't find the right words to say it.

I do too. But I had to explain my point of view to everybody and couldn't just give up on it.

I've always admired your tenacity with these things.


Context: Lee's team needed more practice, so Lee wanted to protect them from the harsh realities of competing.

My team needs more practice before finals.

You don't think they are ready to compete?

Not really, and I don't want them to be disappointed if we lose.

Well, we all have to learn failure in order to work harder.

That's true I guess.


How do I communicate this to my team without offending or demoralising them?

What is it Lee?

I've decided we need more time to practice. So no league games this week. We're getting better, But I just don't think we're ready to face competition yet.

Haven't they been training hard for months?

Take it from me. Any amount of training is preferable to defeat.

Okay, Lee. You know best.


Context: The couple were in the middle of a messy divorce so they hired Taylor as an arbitrator, and Taylor defined the agreement in terms that were agreeable to both sides.

I really hate that they are going through that divorce.

Yea, it is never easy. That is a tough situation.

Yea, I just wanted to make sure that the terms are fair.

Awesome! I'm sure that both sides were very pleased with that.

Yes, they are. It worked out really well for them.

I'm glad that worked out. I'm happy you could provide a little bit of a silver lining.


This was one of the nastiest divorces I have ever worked on.

How are you able to finally settle it?

The real trouble with the finances in the property.

Money is always the number one issue in these problems.

That's why prenups are so important these days.

If I ever get rich I'm getting one.


It's always hard dealing with two people getting divorced.

That's why they hire you, Taylor. You're the best arbitrator in the business.

Yeah. This last case was particularly messy, but we finally reached an agreement that both sides were happy with.

You should be proud of yourself for helping them move on amicably.

Yeah, that's a good way of looking at it.


Context: It was Christmas time, and the kids got presents. Jesse got a bike.

I got a bike for Christmas!

That is awesome! Now we can go exploring.

Where should we go first?

I was thinking we can go ride up to that old house on the hill.

You mean the house that people say is haunted by the ghost of that mean old man?

Yes, that's the one! Maybe we will find his hidden money!


I just knew that I was going to get that bike for Christmas.

Did they have the bike under the tree for you?

No, they waited till all the kids opened the presents and then told me they had something outside for me.

Your mom told me that they wanted to keep it as a surprise.

What do you mean mom told you?

I was the one that helped pick out the bike, since I know what you like.


I am so happy I got a bike for my gift!

Oh wow, I'm so jealous, I've been asking for a bike all year.

What did you get?

I got a Switch and some games to go with it.

Wow, that's awesome. We should play some games next weekend. I'll ride my bike over.

Sounds like fun, let's do it.


I got a cool new bike.

Awesome! What colour is it?

It's dark blue like my old one.

What will you do with the old one?

We donate them to the less fortunate in the summer.

That's pretty cool.


Context: Jesse could have gone with the Others camping, but instead played video games with their friends.

I could have gone camping with the others you know

So why didn't you go?

I stayed to play video games with my friends

Seems you enjoy video games more than camping


I would have loved to go camping with everyone, but I just got this new video game and love it.

I can't believe you chose a video game over your friends.

We had a big online tournament I promised my other friends I would be in.

Sometimes you have to get away from the video games and enjoy nature. Video games aren't good for you.

I don't see why I can't play video games a little bit. It's fun and keeps me busy.

I understand that but you missed an amazing weekend with your friends in the woods!


It's been a tough week for me. I just wasn't in the mood to go camping this weekend.

But why? We could have so much fun together.

There's a lot of hassle involved in packing and getting ready and not to mention the time it takes to actually get there.

Fishing, campfires, hiking, birdwatching. There are so many fun activities you guys could do together.

Sorry but I just need some time to rewind. I will stay at home and play some video games on my Xbox.

You'll definitely regret it eventually, buddy.


I could have gone camping with the others today, but I didn't.

What did you decide to do instead?

I played video games with my friends.

I would have chosen to play video games too. Sike.


Context: Kendall had gone hiking and hadn't been seen for a week. The search and rescue team needed a photograph to share with the news that Quinn provided.

I provided a photograph of Kendall for the news to share.

What happened to Kendall?

He had gone hunting but has been gone for a week now.

That is bad news.

They have been searching for him and they needed that photograph. They have been searching for him and they needed that photograph.

I hope he gets rescued.


Kendall was my best friend and we hung out almost everyday so here is a really recent picture of him.

How recent is this photo? Is it close to what he looks like today?

We took this photo in one of those photo booths in the mall a few days before he went missing on his hiking trip a week ago.

Thank you, that's really helpful to all of us on the search and rescue team. Do we have your permission to use this photo to give to the news stations.

Absolutely, you can share it with who ever you want if it will help find him and bring him home!

Great, after we make copies for the rest of the people on our team, we will give the new crews a copy and return the original to you.


Context: Knowing Skylar would want to go too, Kendall took Skylar into account.

I knew Kendall would want to go, there is a lot to do on this trip

She will be so excited to go with you and learn a lot on this excursion

Totally. I am super excited and stuff too. It's going to be her first time doing this type of trip.

Will she be alright? I heard there can be a few tough parts in the trail

I'm sure she'll get used to it once she's there

Just take care of her, alright.


Context: Knowing skylar would want to go too, Kendall took Skylar into account.

Okay, raise your hand if you want to go.

But Skylar's not here to vote.

I know she wants to go, so I'll include her in the count.

Okay, good. I'm raising my hand too.

All right. Help me count.

That's 8 who want to go plus Skylar.


Context: Tracy had to fly out of town, so Addison took Tracy to the airport.

I had to drive Tracy to the airport this morning. The traffic was crazy there.

Why did you take her?

She had to go out of town to see her folks and didn't want to take a taxi.

That's really nice of you to do; that airport is a tough drive.

I know but I was actually going to be near it anyway and wanted to help.

You're a great friend. I hope she brings you back a souvenir.


Sorry I was late. Had to take Tracy to the airport.

Where's she going?

She had to go out of town to her Grandmother's house.

Oh, that's cool. She'll get to see her for Christmas.

Exactly. And then she will celebrate with her parents when she gets back.

Sounds good.


Context: Jordan found out that they were very ill, but they made light of the ailment.

I think I am quite sick.

You should go to the hospital or talk to a pharmacist at least.

Never mind, it's nothing. I will be okay after I rest.

Are you sure about this? you don't seem to be taking this serious.

It's nothing really.

I hope so.


People tell me I have a dark sense of humour because I made fun of my own illness.

I think it's inappropriate to joke about sickness.

But if I don't laugh, I might cry, so it's better for me to find the humour in things.

I guess I can understand that. Either way, I hope you get better soon.


Context: Addison had planned a romantic evening. Addison caressed Carson's cheek after dinner.

I had an amazing evening with Carson last night.

Did you guys have a date night?

Yes, I planned the whole romantic evening. I even ended the night by caressing his cheek after dinner.

Wow! You two are the cutest.


I planned a romantic evening with Carson, I'm so in love with him.

Is that why you made dinner?

Yeah, he came home and I made him a three course meal.

Did you guys do anything afterwards?

We watched a movie afterwards and when the time was right, I caressed his cheek.

That's cute.


Context: Lee was visiting their best friend, Jan's house. Jan needed to take a shower before they started studying. Lee got hungry and decided to check Jan's pantry for food.

I went to my friend Jan's house. She needed to shower before we studied so I raided the pantry for food, I was hungry.

Oh wow. Do you think she'll care that you took food?

Oh no. We always eat food at each other's house.

Now I'm hungry. What did you eat?

I grabbed some crackers and bread. They were good, I shared when she got out of the shower.

It was probably good to have some food to fuel you for the studying!


I was visiting Jan's house and she went to take a shower before studying so I explored her house.

What did you find?

I got hungry so I found her pantry.

What did you eat?

I made myself a sandwich.


I genuinely think I might be a kleptomaniac.

Oh god this doesn't sound good, what did you do now?

I found some nutty bars whilst Jan was in the shower, ate all of them and never told her.

Did you at least leave some for her?


Context: When Cameron's friends were arguing about who won the game, Cameron took sides.

I think both sides won because all the resources were equal in the end.

I would have hated to be in your shoes, having to basically referee the situation.

I found it quite entertaining actually, watching them argue over nothing.

What did you end up saying to them?

I took sides because I had to make a decision on the spot.


Why do they argue so much? It is a simple game

You know well what they're like, they have competitiveness in our blood

Sometimes fighting over this makes them look really dumb

You better not give them your opinion

I have sadly, I've taken sides.

Oh no you didn't.


My friends and I had a ridiculous argument.

What was the argument about?

We disagreed as to who won the game.

There was a final score so there should not have been a question about that.

I took sides with the friends who feel as you do.

I don't understand why there was an argument in the first place.


Context: Austin got in a car wreck, he called his father.

I got into a car wreck the other day.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I just got a few bruises, I ended up calling my dad.

What did he say, was he mad at you?

He was mad, but not at me, the guy that hit my car was driving drunk.

That's so scary, I am glad you are okay though.


Context: Taylor discussed various financial situations for Remy as his financial planner. He coupled Remy with interest.

I am interested in all the new ideas I have.

What changed?

Well Taylor was helping me with the financials and now I need to change some things.

Oh that's good, will you make more money?

Yes, I should be able to double my investments thanks to her.

That is wonderful!


I found the best financial advisor ever today!

Great, tell me about them!

Her name is Taylor, she definitely has my best interest in mind

That is good, I also need a financial planner

You should seek her out, she took her time to discuss various financial situations with me

I will look into her, thanks!


Context: Ash and Austin were arguing. Ash said some very horrible things that hurt Austin.

I can't believe that Ash would throw things in my face that I told him in confidence.

That is hurtful especially since Ash knew those were sensitive topics for you.

Yeah. It really hurt and hit way below the belt.

I don't consider that a friend when a person brings up stuff like that.

It was surprising to me and I want to talk to him about it.

Don't get your feelings hurt again by Ash. Let it go.


Ash and I had a bad fight last night. I can't believe what she said to me.

Oh that is horrible. Do you want to talk about it?

I don't know. She accused me of cheating on her with my ex.

That is ridiculous. Your ex hates you.

I know, but she really believes it.


Context: Quinn walked on the wet floor after it had been cleaned and slipped on the shiny linoleum.

I fell today and almost twisted my ankle!

How did you fall? Are you ok now?

My mother polished the floor and it was so slippery that I skidded and fell completely down!

That's almost funny, but you aren't hurt?

No, I'm fine. I just can't believe I did something so silly.

As long as you are okay.


The floor was wet.  My mom had just cleaned it and I slipped on the linoleum, my tailbone hurt so much I thought I broke.

Did you get yourself checked out by the doctor?

I went to the hospital and they took scans of my body.

What did you find out?

Nothing is broken, I am just terribly bruised.  The doctor prescribed some strong painkillers and sent me home.

You are lucky you didn't break anything.


Context: Ash was riding the roller coaster for the first time. Ash squeezed Quinn's hand.

I squeezed Quinn's hand so hard, I was riding the roller coaster for the first time.

Were you scared?

Oh, terrified.  I was screaming on the top of my lungs the whole time.

You must have been deafening.

That was what Quinn said.  There's a picture of me on the ride looking horrified.

I want to see it.


So I had never been for a rollercoaster ride and Quinn decided to take me to the tallest one in the world.

What a way to start!.

I was honestly shaking, I threw up right before we got on but then afterwards all I wanted to do was get back on it.

How did you get through it?

I held Quinn's hand the whole way.

Whatever helps you get through the fear I guess.


Have you ever been on a rollercoaster?

Yeah me and my friends go all the time. Have you?

Honestly until the other day, never. Quinn took me and I was terrified.

You've just got to grind it out, I find that cursing a lot helps me.

Ah! We were falling and I was properly scared. Quinn's hand was there so I squeezed it as a coping mechanism.

You sure you weren't making a move?


I was pretty brave on that rollercoaster.

Was it your first time on the coaster?

I had never ridden a roller coaster ever before and Quinn rode it with me.

Was Quinn brave, too?

I had to squeeze his hand.

So have you finally changed your mind about rollercoasters?


Context: Jesse was writing ideas from coworkers and a coworker had an idea for a supplier so Jesse wrote the name on the board.

Our office suppliers have gone bust, so we needed some new ones.

Did you guys manage to brainstorm any ideas in the meeting?

Yeah, my co-workers were really sharp and were trying to solve the issue as soon as possible.

What did you end up with?

Well Bailey managed to find one which was cheaper and better, I ended up writing their name and details on the board.

Good work, that way you won't forget.


God damn, what a stressful day we had.

What happened? You look so tired.

We needed a new supplier as we ran out of fresh bread for our sandwiches and had to shut down for the day.

Bet you had lots of unhappy customers.

Yeah but hopefully we will be back running tomorrow. One of my co-workers gave me a great idea and so I wrote their name on the board.

I hope it's one of the ideas that are easier to implement.


We had a great brainstorming session at work today!

That sounds like it was productive, what did you come up with?

All of my co-workers were coming up with ideas and I was writing them down as quickly as I could`

Did anyone come up with anything extraordinary?

One co-worker had a great suggestion for a new supplier so I wrote the name up on the board.

What a good idea, now it will be there for you to refer to at a later date.


So good being a team leader when your team mates are cooperative.

Heard you guys ran into trouble with some supplier issue?

Yeah, I rounded everyone up and told them to do some research. In less than two hours Harry was able to provide me a plan.

Did you go ahead with it?

Not yet, in the meantime I wrote their name and details on the board and the strategy team is going to take a closer look.

Good stuff.


Context: Jesse decided to go jogging at the beach, even though none of their friends wanted to come along.

I couldn't get anyone to come with me to the beach to run but I went anyway.

Well, it's still always important to get exercise regardless if you are alone.

Yes, but I find it more enjoyable and motivating when I'm not alone

Maybe you could try listening to music or a podcast.

I've tried that, but it gets boring after a while.

Hmm, I've heard of apps that simulate running through a different environment using augmented reality. Maybe you could give that a try.


Do you know what? I'm actually kind of glad no one came along. Was fun going on my own.

Yeah I find that, it's basically a mindfulness exercise when you're by the beach.

Do you think anyone else wants to come in the future?

It depends, if it's jogging, probably not.

Damn, why are my friends so lazy.


Context: Tracy decided to follow their favorite band for the summer. Tracy attended every concert.

Gosh what a crazy summer, kind of glad it's over honestly.

Oh yeah didn't you go to some concerts?

I went on tour actually with this band. Well, I followed them to their different tour dates. Twelve concerts total! But they're my favourite band.

Sounds crazy. You must really like them.


I guess you can call me a groupie.

Why would you say that?

I decided to follow my favourite band for the summer.

How is that going?

I have attended every one of their concerts this summer.

Perfect attendance and even better than you did in school.


I am such a fan girl.  I bought tickets to every single concert of my favourite band for the summer.

What's your favourite band?

It's that one with the weird girl with the pink hair and piercings and tattoos all over her face.

Oh that one.  I don't remember her name but I know who you are talking about.

She's so unique and talented, I love her music.

I'm so jealous, you're going to have such a great summer.


I can't believe the summer's over. I'll have to find a new reason to travel.

Why were you traveling so much this year?

I was following my favourite band everywhere they went. I saw every concert.

I can't believe you saw them all. Did they have a busy tour season?

Yes, they were playing almost every weekend.

That's kind of an accomplishment for you too!


Context: Cameron left early in the morning and still wasn't home yet. Cameron was gone forever it seemed.

I have had a really long day. It seems like I've been away from home forever.

Did you have an early morning?

Yes, really early. I left at 6:30 because I had to open the cafe and work breakfast before I went to class.

That does sound like a long day. Why don't you go home and get some rest.

Because I'm having a good time right now. I'm just not used to being out of the house for so long.

That makes sense. There's always time to rest and relax later.


Context: Addison went to a party with their new partner and partied and danced the night away and had such a good time.

I went to a party last night and had so much fun. I never danced so much in my life.

Sounds like fun. Who did you go with?

A guy named Ben. You don't know him but I want you to meet him, he's my new partner.

I would love to. Was the party big?

Huge. There must have been 300 people there, in and out of the house.


I had such a great time at the party with Jen.  She's such a party animal.  She danced the night away.

You guys are a great match.

That's what the dating app says.

Is that how you guys met?

I met her online.  We have so much in common.

Couples meet online all the time now.


I had such a great time last night. I'm exhausted, but loved it.

What did you do?

We went to a party, met a ton of people, ate, and danced all night long. So fun.

Wow, that sounds great. Haven't had fun like that in awhile. Hope you and your new partner get on well.


I had a wonderful time last night.

What did you do?

I went to a party with my new partner.

What did you do there?

Mainly we danced, then we played a few board games and then passed out on the sofa.

Good for you guys.


Context: Kendall found rocks in the grass after his lawn mower stopped and made a grinding sound.

I'm going to have to get my lawn mower repaired.

How did it break?

I accidentally mowed over a pile of rocks in the grass.

That doesn't sound good.

It didn't sound good at all. It made a grinding sound before it stopped.

Maybe you should just buy a new lawn mower.


I found rocks on the grass.

Is that the reason for the lawn mower to stop?

Yes, I heard a grinding sound.

Those rocks damaged it by the looks of it.

I think so, hopefully I can repair it.

I know a place where you can repair that, if you can't do it yourself.


My lawn mower almost got messed up by some rocks in my lawn today,

How big were the rocks?

The size of my hand but I don't know how they got there.

Were they just laying in the grass?

Yeah, almost like they were tossed there.

It was probably some dumb neighbourhood kids then.


Context: Even though they had serious insomnia issues and there was an brass band outside their window, Ash tried to fall asleep.

I got next to no sleep last night.

Why couldn't you sleep?

I have been struggling with insomnia and there was an actual big brass band outside my window for most of the night.

What! Why was there a band outside your window?

There was some sort of celebration at the park next door. They had permits to play till 12 and they did.

That sucks. Seems like they should have had to stop at 10 or so, people need to sleep.


I can't believe I tried to fall asleep anyway. We have insomnia, and there was a brass band outside our window.

What? What was going on? Were you on the comedy channel?

Unfortunately no. Couldn't call the cops either, cause it was for someone's Birthday party across the street.

Well, at least you were able to make it through the work day today!

Yeah. Maybe we'll get to sleep early tonight.

Yup. You definitely won't have insomnia tonight, that's for sure.


I can't take it anymore, dude. No matter how hard I try, I can't fall asleep!

Insomnia, huh? That sucks. Have you been trying to fall asleep by force?

Yeah, every night I try to sleep. Every day, too! I came close today, but there was a stupid brass band outside making all sorts of noise!

Seriously? A brass band of all things?

Yeah, I guess they were practicing. Either way, I couldn't fall asleep yet again, and that makes four days now.

Go see a doctor, man. It's an issue you need to get addressed!


Context: Jordan's friend Jan lost their wallet at Jordan's house. Jan asks Jordan to look around and see if the wallet can be found.

Sorry I'm late! I spent like two hours looking for Jan's wallet.

I did think something was up, next time just send me a message.

Yeah, apologies. She asked me to look around and then got caught in searching the damn thing.

Very irresponsible of Jan.

At least we found it in the end.

Good stuff.


Context: Jordan's friend Jan lost their wallet at Jordan's house. Jan asks Jordan to look around and see if the wallet can e found.

Jan lost her wallet at my house yesterday. I've been looking for it all night.

You haven't found it yet?

She begged me to find it so I searched everywhere but I don't think it's there.

You have to ask her where she last saw it or you'll be tearing up every room.

I know and I'll call her later.

Maybe she should come over and help.


Context: Alex listened to a lecture before a big test. Alex paid attention to the details and got an A.

Guess what, I got an A on that big test I've been practicing for. I think attending that lecture really helped.

That is awesome! I'm so proud of you man.

Thanks, I was worried about it because I missed some classes recently.

How long was the test?

It was about 100 questions and there was a written part as well.

That's a lot of stuff, I'm glad I didn't take that class then.


Are you ready for the big test?

Not really, I did not get to study too much, how about you?

I studied tons last night, really paid attention to the details too. I think I'm well prepared.

Well, how did you do on the test?

I got an A! I am so thrilled!

Great job Alex!


I just got an A on my test!

What? That's great! I thought you were doing terrible in that class!

I was!

How did you manage an A then?

I drank some coffee and actually listened to the lecture!

That's hilarious! Sounds like you need to do that more often!


I just got my score. I got an A!

That's great! I'm so happy for you.

I'm relived, I was very anxious about that test.

How'd you do it?

Honestly, I just paid attention to the lectures in class, It made a big difference.

That's great. I'm going to start taking better notes.


I ended up getting a A on the finals.

I knew that you would, considering how hard you've been studying.

The last lecture that he gave, I tried to listen as hard as I could.

What steps did you take to give it all of your attention.

I remembered what you said about tapping my fingers when he talks.

I am glad that I was able help you find ways to pay attention


Context: jan went to the same school for years so she was best friends with a girl.

Hey, did you know that Sasha and I have been best friends since we were in kindergarten?

No, I didn't know you had known her for so long.

Yes, we went to the same school for 13 years.  We met on the first day of school and became friends right away.

That's amazing!  Most friends lose touch with each other after a few years.

Not us!  We were best friends through primary school and then high school, and we were even each others' bridesmaids at our weddings.

That's really cool.  But personally I don't like Sasha at all. She seems sneaky to me.


Growing up in a small town is way better than a city.

How would you know if you've been a small town person?

I have the same best friend that I had in the fifth grade.

That's a long time.

Yeah, being in the same school for so long is a great thing.

I guess that's pretty cool.


Its been a long time since me and Alice became friends.

How did you guys meet?.

We went to the same school when we were young and we used to do scouts together as well.

You guys did scouts? Would have never been able to tell.

Yeah we were always top of our group as well.

That's a good friendship right there.


I have known Jan a long time.

Didn't you guys go to the same school?

Yeah, we have been best friends forever.

That is great to have such a good friend.


Context: remy was a understanding man so he gave sydney plenty of time to get ready for their date.

In a way I kind of wish I was fashionably late, didn't want to come off as too keen.

Did you manage to get a date with Sydney in the end though?

Yeah, I picked her up and we went to a bar downtown.

I hope you gave her a good first impression, that's the main thing.

Well, she actually texted me today saying she wants a second date. I suppose that giving her extra time was a good shout in the end.

That's my man.


Context: Carson was unsure if they wanted to open a new location. Carson decided it would be best to move the business forward.

This is a break or make decision from me.

I see you are in a quandary.

I need to grow my business in one way or another.

What is holding you back?

I have been unsure if we want to open a new location and decided it would be best to move the business forward.

You could be the next Ray Kroc.


I'm thinking of what the next step in my business should be to move it forward.

Are you thinking of launching a new product line?

No, I'm considering opening a new location on Madison Street.

That's a popular location with a lot of foot traffic.

Yes, but the rent is expensive so I'm not sure if it will be worthwhile.

If you're planning on moving your business forward, a new location would be a great start.


The store is bringing in a lot of business. I think the best decision would be to move the business forward.

You picked a central location, it was full when I drove by the other day.

The other store was doing well too, and didn't know if I wanted to take on another.

It looks like it would be worth it, business is booming.


Context: Alex got lost on the way home and had to use his phone to find his way back.

Did I tell you about how I got lost today?

Lost to where?

I was trying to find my way home but got extremely lost.

That sounds frightening, so what did you do after that?

Well I luckily still had a bit of battery left on my phone so I was able to find my way home eventually.

Well I am glad you made it.


I ended up going down a wrong street and ended up downtown.

How long did it take you to find your way out of the city?

A couple hours, even with GPS. Traffic was backed up everywhere.

You know that the music festival was in town, right?


Context: Kai worked in a laboratory where they tested vaccines on mice, and they ended up improving the health of the mice.

We had success with our vaccination trial in the mice today.

That's good news.

It improves their health overall so I think we'll try to get higher level test subjects next.

I hope it works on people.

It'll be a while before we know but at least we know it has potential.

Congrats on almost finding a cure!


Context: Tracy has been sick with a runny nose. She has been carrying tissues with her to blow her nose.

Oh my god, Tracy was unbelievably obnoxious today.

You shouldn't be so harsh with her, she's been quite ill recently.

Maybe she shouldn't be out and about then?

I suppose you have a point.

I was cool with it, until we had that meeting and she was blowing her nose every other minute.

Yeah, that would annoy me too to be fair.


Tracy's been sick with a runny nose so that's why she has tissues with her.

I carry a box of tissues with me when I am sick too.

I told her she should stay in bed and just rest.

Sometimes you have to get out to do things.

She had to do some shopping, she said. She has nothing to eat at home.

That's a good reason to be out.


Tracy has been blowing her nose all day.

I noticed, is she still sick?

I guess so, but what's worse is, I don't think she is washing her hands.

Why would work let her come back if she's that sick?

I have no idea, but I am grossed out.


Context: Cameron walked his date to the door of her house. Cameron placed a soft kiss on their date before leaving.

I finally kissed her last night after our dinner date.

Excellent, my friend, you made the move!

I was so nervous that I was shaking.

Was she willing to kiss you back?

I'm not sure, since I just moved in and kissed her, and didn't really give her much of a chance to kiss back.

From the sounds of it, it seems like she was receptive.


Context: After Casey's tooth fell out, Kendall put money under Casey's pillow while Casey was sleeping.

My tooth fell out, so Kendall put money under my pillow while I was sleeping.

Do you believe in that stuff?

You mean the tooth fairy and all that?

Yeah, my mom used to do that too.

I am a grown man now, so I should say I do.

But do you?


I had a visit from the Tooth Fairy last night.

Cool! How much did you get?

A dollar. But I'm starting to doubt that it really was the Tooth Fairy.

You are? Why? Who else would give you a dollar for a tooth?

I was half-awake in the middle of the night and I thought I saw Kendall come in.

I don't know, I believe in the Tooth Fairy. Maybe you just had a dream.


I got money from the tooth fairy!

How did you know it was the tooth fairy that gave you money?

Because my tooth is missing from under my pillow.

How much did he get?

I got five dollars!

Wow! Maybe I should have mine pulled by the dentist too. I can surely use five dollars.


So a part of my tooth fell out and Kendall as a joke put money under my pillow.

Oh! Like you were a kid.

Yes, like I'm waiting for the tooth fairy.

That's pretty funny joke actually.

I did laugh.

Kendall is a funny dude.


Context: Aubrey was a bully. They took Robin's money.

I'm starting to doubt myself. I'm wondering if I'm even a good person at all.

I'm sorry to hear about that. Let me know what your thoughts are. You can always talk to me.

I have been somewhat of a bully to others lately and today I did something I'm starting to regret.

I know you've been through a lot lately but you can open up with me. I will not judge you.

I felt like I could use a little more cash. I took Robin's money earlier but I feel guilty.

I can understand you. You've been pretty stressed out lately. And it's a sign of character to open up about this.


Context: Alex and Jordan were very good at communicating with expressions, Alex gave Jordan a funny look.

This is what I think of that last shot.

Wow it was really that bad?

You didn't even hit the backboard.

Yeah well what about the one last week you broke Ms. Wilsons window with.

We don't talk about that.

She's nuts anyways.


Jordan and I have been really good at communicating lately. We can read the expressions off our faces.

Oh that's how me and my wife are. We can talk about other people without them knowing.

It's useful when I'm irritated because Jordan can pull me out of the situation.

Yea. My wife can give me a look and we're out of there.

It's amazing during parties.


Context: Since the charity was almost drawing to a close, Riley persuaded them to give generously for the rest of the night.

It was the last hour of the fundraiser.  I got in front of the camera and urged people to give generously.

What was this for?

We were raising money for people affected by the hurricane.

Did you raise a lot of money?

We did. A lot of people called in and donated.

That's wonderful that you are helping out.


Almost done for the night guys! Time to get last minute donations in!

What time will the charity close?

In 25 minutes.

I just donated, thank you for all that you do!

No thank you for the donation and support!


I loved the charity function.

Me too they really can help people.

I managed to encourage everyone to give more before it closed.

Good idea, the more the better.

Yeah people seemed excited to wanted to help.

I could see their enthusiasm all night.


Context: Jasse was going to not make in time for the event but did their best and made it their.

Sorry, if I was driving a little fast.

I know you wanted to see the start of the game.

We almost didn't make it. I'm glad I liked it.

I'm was just along for the ride; I'm not a 49er fan.

Well, you should try  seeing Raider games more often.

Once a Raiders fan, always a Raiders fan.  I followed them when they were in L.A. and I can follow them in Vegas.  The magic of television.


I was running late because I had to feed my kid but I eventually made it there.

Did you end up making it on time?

I was a little late for the event but I don't think anyone cared really.

Well at least your boss wasn't mad at for being late to the event.


It was like a scene out of Talladega nights, I tore it up all the way here!

And you didn't get pulled over once? How fast were you going?

I was going about 90 the whole way, and nope, I didn't even see a cop.

Well, even though you were still late, at least you made it and safely too!

I did my best, I felt bad for being late at all though.

Well you should, that's not very nice!


Context: Bailey saw sirens in her rear view mirror. She had just robbed a bank. Bailey hit the gas pedal in an effort to get away.

I am sorry I robbed the bank.

Did you really do that?

I got rattled when I saw the police car right behind me with the sirens on.

What did you do?

I stepped on the gas in an effort to get away.

You know that wouldn't work.


I think I'm in big trouble.

What's going on?

The cops are chasing me, I can see the sirens in my rear view mirror.

Why are the cops chasing you?

I just robbed a bank, I have to speed now to evade them.

Go as fast as you can.


Context: Jordan stayed afloat on the raft and had to pray that a ship would pass by to find them.

I am so grateful to be at home with my wonderful family and friends.

No doubt. How long were you out on the raft?

I was on the raft for 4 days. All I could do is pray that a passing ship would find me.

Luckily one did!

Yes, if not for them, I would probably be dead.


It was a harrowing experience.

Tell me about it.

My little fishing boat hit an iceberg.  It splintered it to pieces.

And the water was freezing.

It sure was, but I got on one section of board that served as a raft.  I floated for days until a passing ship rescued me.

What a story--you're lucky to be alive.


I am so lucky I was saved. I was praying on that raft that a ship would come by and 1 hour later it arrived.

I am so glad you made it home safely. Do you feel like you life has changed?

Yes, I feel like I have a new lease on life. I want to go back to school and make a difference in the world.

That is amazing that you are so positive after such a difficult experience.


I really hope and pray a ship passes by soon or else we may be in trouble.

You don't think we can survive a little longer?

I don't know how much longer this raft will last.

We can just use some of the part to float.

It would be too dangerous. These oceans are full of sharks.

Let's just try to think positive thoughts.


Context: Carson was trying to tell a joke but he realized from the look on Taylor's face that the joke was offensive.

I tried to tell Taylor this one legged man and priest joke , but she didn't think it was funny.

That joke is offensive. You should stop telling it to people.

Aw. People are to politically correct these days.

No, they just don't like being told dumb, hurtful jokes. It's not funny .


I don't think Taylor likes my jokes.

Why do you think that?

I was trying to tell a joke earlier and the look Taylor's face gave me makes me think the joke was offensive.

Was it offensive?

I didn't think it was but I should ask her.


Did you really think the joke i was telling was that offensive.

Well, you didn't have to racist around everyone and it wasn't that funny.

I think maybe I should try and get new material since people didn't like it that much.

Yeah, that's a good idea. maybe try something a little more plain and not be condescending about other races.

I will try and work on it and I'm sorry


Context: Casey wanted to get rid of Ash so she was rude to him until he did.

Oh my god, Ash.  Could you please just stop talking to me for a minute?

Sure Casey.  I'm sorry. Are you mad at me or something?

Your breath just really stinks and the sound of your voice is giving me a banging headache.

Ok, my bad.  Would you like to go get something to eat, then?

I just want you to back up a little bit.  Your head is so big.

I think I'm just going to go home.  Thanks for a great birthday party.


Context: Casey went to the zoo with her friend Bob and they had a really nice time there.

I'm taking you to the aquarium next weekend since you love animals.


Bob and I went to the zoo today.

How was it?

I had a really nice time. It's set up so pretty that it's fun to just even walk around.

I love to see the animals at the zoo.

So do I and the displays are really nice and spacious for them now.

I am glad they take good care of them.


I love the see all of the interesting animals at the zoo.

My favorite animals are the birds.

I love the exotic birds, especially the parakeets.

It is so funny how they repeat what you say.

I went to the zoo with Bob yesterday, and we had a great time. We took pictures of the animals.

I want to see the pictures.


Context: Quinn was a barber who was cutting Austin's hair. Quinn spun Austin around in the chair.

I saw Austin today at the shop. He has really grown.

That's great. Did he like his haircut.

I think so. We had fun. I gave him lollipops and spun him around in the chair.

That sounds fun. I know his mom appreciated you being so kind to him.

She really did and it was a good time.

I bet she will be back to see you next time he needs a haircut.


Your hair looks great from this angle.

Could you cut a little bit more on the left side?

Do you think it looks lopsided?

I think I see a little difference.

The customer is always right. Let me help you out.


I was cutting Austin's hair today.

I hope he enjoyed it.

I spun him around in the chair to give him a stir.

That's funny! You guys are great friends.

I even gave him a discount.

That's nice of you.


Context: Alex used eyes to express their feelings and then they went to the prom to dance.

I really want you to go with me to the prom.

Of course I'll go with you. But you know I can't dance.

That's quite all right. We will stumble around together.

That sounds marvellous. I'm really excited.


Context: Quinn heard talk about the new girl in the building. Quinn made a lot of assumptions when they saw them.

I assumed the new girl in my building was mean

you shouldn't always believe everything you hear

yea I know that I should of given her a chance and just talked to her sooner


Context: Sydney wanted to talked to Riley, so they wanted for them in the hallway after class.

Riley! I've been wanting to talk to you!

Why are you waiting for me here in the hallway?

I just wanted to catch up, since we haven't talked for a while.

Right, I was looking for you at the cafeteria last week too. I guess you are not in that day.

I guess so. My classes are only three times a week now.

I see. I am glad you came to see me. I missed you.


Hey Riley, where have you been? I need to talk to you so I've been waiting here for you since the last bell rang.

Oh, sorry, I had to stay after in my last class for a few minutes to get the assignments from my teacher that I missed when I was out last week.

That's okay, do you have a minute or do you want to walk home together? I really need to talk to you.

Sure, we can walk home together. What do you need to talk about? It seems as though it's really important to you if you waited for me after class.

Well, it's important to me anyway, and I hope that you take me seriously when I tell you what I need to talk to you about.

If it's that important to you than it's important to me, after all, we are best friends. So, tell me what's on your mind.


Context: Without having been asked, Robin provided food for Kendall's children after she lost her job last month.

You really didn't have to give my children all of this food.

It is my pleasure. I know you are going through a lot and you lost your job last month.

But still, you didn't have to spend all of that money for my family on groceries. I really appreciate it.

I wanted to do this for your children.  I'd hate to see them hungry.

My children really love you and so do I.

I know you would do the same thing for me if I was in your position.


Robin has been a very nice person to me since this past month.

Tell me more.

He has been providing food for my children since I lost my job.

Sounds like a generous person.

Believe me he is.

You're lucky to have him then


I really want to thank you for giving me clothes for my kids.

I know it's hard ever since you lost your job last month.

I was just surprised you did it without me even asking you.

I could tell that you were having a hard time and your daughter told me too.


Robin is so sweet.  You know I lost my job last month, and she sent over two big boxes of groceries so my kids would have enough to eat.

That was really nice of her.  I didn't realize you were in such dire straights.  Do you have any leads on a job?

I've put in a bunch of resumes, but I haven't gotten any interviews yet.

Did you apply for unemployment?

I did, and I got approved but I haven't gotten my first check yet.

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you out.


Context: Taylor and Austin were kissing in the driveway. Taylor bit Austin's lips in the process.

Taylor accidentally bit my lip really hard when we were kissing today.

Oh no, was it bad?

It made it bleed a little bit but I laughed it off.

Hey, at least that means Taylor seems to like you a lot!

Yeah I guess so, but I still wasn't ready for that lip bite.

I think you need to come back at her next time and bite her and see what she thinks.


Hey Taylor, I finally got a date with Susan but I'm so nervous about kissing her!

Don't be, I'll teach you how to kiss.

Uh, I mean, I guess bro.

Alright, come here and kiss me.

Dude you bit my lip, ouch!

Gotcha!

Are you going to join the tennis team at school.?

Yea , probably. I want to get even better.


So I just won a huge game of tennis.

Who did you beat?

I bet one of Jesses friends who supposed to be the best

I guess that makes you the best now.

Not really but I'm better than them.

What if it was just luck?

No, we made coffee on the stove.

Can't get away from that caffeine I see.


I was really thirsty this morning and my coffee pot is broken so I tried to make it a different way.

That sounds really cool, what was the new way?

I made it on the stove, and I even added the milk and stuff before it was completely done.

Oh that seems like it would keep it hot for longer.

It did! I think I may do it this way every time now.

You should! Ill have to try it next time I make coffee.

Riley fell off of my bike and skinned his knee up pretty bad.

Isn't he a little small for your bike.

He is way too small. I did not tell him to take it out. And he actually had the nerve to blame me for falling.

How was him falling your fault?

He said I had the seat too high. I reminded him it was just right for me.

That's funny. I guess he learned his lesson.

They won't let Sklar go down the water slide if she doesn't listen to the safety precautions.

What is it that she is not listening too?

It's not that she isn't listening, I am not sure she understands where her arms have to go.

Do you want me to walk up there and show her that her arms need to be on her chest?

No, the lifeguard will help her if she doesn't get it.

That is true, I hope she does it!


Context: Robin saved Skylar's husband's camera from falling into the water while they were on a cruise.

Skylar's husband is such a klutz. He almost dropped his camera off of the cruise ship into the ocean. I had unusually quick reflexes and as it slipped out of his hand, I quickly leaned over the railing and caught it by the strap!

Wow, good job! Lots of people drink on cruises. You sure he wasn't drunk?

He might have been. He was being a little creepy winking at me and stuff. Then he saw a whale and just needed to snap a picture!

Glad you still felt the need to save his camera after all that. If he was behaving like that towards me, I would let the sharks eat his camera, ha ha ha!


So I grabbed the camera before it went into the water.

Skyler must have been so happy.

She was. But her husband was all wet.

LOL. You didn't grab him before he fell in too?

A little water won't kill him.


Hey Skylar, your husbands camera is going to fall!

Cliff, watch out! It's falling!

I'm going to jump for it!

It is way too dangerous to do that!

I got it! It's not broken!

Yea I bet, was the water boiling yet?

Not yet but it was getting close, but it was still really hot and took me by surprise.

That sucks, did you have to start over with your dinner prep.

Yea but its ok I wasn't too far in to it.


I was almost scarred for life.

What happened?

Good decision. I love sprucing up rooms. Once it's done, you feel so accomplished.

I can't wait to feel that way. I'm dreading the actual work.

Once you get going, you'll get into a groove and it'll go by fast.

I sure hope so.


I am grateful to have chosen paint over wall paper.

I agree, wall paper is so drab and outdated.

It's definitely not contemporary.

Glad you brought all the supplies, this will be a long day painting.

It will be fun, let's get started.

I'll grab the buckets.


I just got back from the hardware store.

How is the  small home project going?

It's going well I just needed to get some primer and a different color wallpaper.

What color did you decide on for the wall paper?

That sounds really cool I'm glad you didn't go with a boring solid color.

Why? What did you buy?

It's not that. I bought clothes, but that's not the point.

I hate my job and feel like I should quit!

No Kai, don't do something that you might later regret, give it time.

I am just going to sit here and drink a couple of beers and we can talk.

That's a great idea Kai.


all I wanted was just help on the project for work, but no one wanted to help me.

that sucks didn't you talk to them and try to work on it as a group?

I tried but all they wanted to do was to be on their phone and mess around

that is not good, maybe you should go to your boss with the problem too see if you all can fix it for next time.

Oh my boss does not care ,he spends most of his time on the phone doing whatever he wants.

I would say you try to look for another job because you can not be happy with people like that around you.

Casey is such a hero.

That was lucky because he usually works at the district office.

That's what he told me while we were waiting for the tow truck.

I'm glad he was able to help you out, he's a really nice guy.


Hey, what's up friend?

Hey Aubrey, nothing much you tell, what is going on?

You know I stuck down at the road when my car broke.

Oh... did Cameron help you fixing the car?

I appreciate everything you do for me already, you don't need to do more

The only person working was me! I had to do everything for Ash.

Can you talk to the teacher about that?

I think I am going to it made me so mad.

Sorry, that sucks.


I'm getting tired of working with Ash. I had to do all the work earlier today even though Ash was supposed to help out.

Why couldn't Ash help with his fair share of the work?

There was no reason. He's just really lazy.

You should avoid working with him in the future. He sounds like dead weight.

Wow, you really just got one now, they've been available for years?

Yes, I still like "real" books better since they are tangible.

I can understand that, I have a problem with collecting things.

Yeah, I have a book collection but am running out of room so I thought it was a good idea to go digital.

That makes a lot of sense. Plus you will have your books wherever you go.


Context: After the landlords decided to raise rent $300, Quinn decided to move.

Do you know any places that are renting out right now?

I thought you liked your apartment.

I did, but the rent is going up.

How much is it going up by?

Three hundred dollars.

Wow, it went up a lot!


My landlords raised my rent by $300.  I am going to move next month.

That's a huge increase.

It is.  I can move out of the city and find something much nicer for cheaper rent.

How you started looking yet?

I actually already found a place.  A few of my friends and I are renting a house in the valley.

Awesome.


I'm going to be moving out of my place.

What did you decide to do that?

My landlord is raising my rent by 300 dollars.

Wow, that is a lot.

Exactly. I can find a better place for around the same price.

If you want, you can move in with me.


Context: After waiting till the day before the project was due, Carson started last night.

I am one of those pro things.

What is a pro thing?

I'm a procrastinator.

You put the pro in procrastinate.

After waiting until the day before the project was due, I started last night.

There is no money in being that kind of pro.


I only just now started working on the project.

But it's due tomorrow! You had all week to work on it.

I know. I'm a terrible procrastinator.

You're probably going to have to work through the night to finish it.


I just kept putting it off and putting it off.

You're such a procrastinator.

I know. I didn't start the project untill last night and it was due today.

Oh no! Were you able to finish?

Yes, I think my projects go even better when I start them late.

I'll take your word for it.


Context: Sydney was having a hard time deciding what flavor ice cream she wanted. Austin made Sydney's choice for them.

So what flavor do you want Sidney?

I don't now so many flavors to pick from.

You have to make a choice there are people waiting in line.

So hard, so hard, you make the choice for me.

Ok but no complains if you don't like my choice.

Don't worry I know you have a good taste for things.


Since she was taking for ever I had to make the choice myself.

Were you in a hurry?

We have to get back to the house as people are waiting on us.

She can be indecisive when it comes to things.

No matter what it is, it takes forever.

Some people just need a lot of time to make choices.


Context: Jan started a blog. she needed to improve the business she was in.

I need to write some more content for my blog this weekend.

Yeah, I checked out your new blog yesterday. It looks really nice.

Thanks! I'm hoping to reach more people and get some more business.

Definitely a good idea. I think it'll improve your sales and get you more referrals.

I'm hoping so. It's been a lot of work to get it up and running, so I hope it's worth it.

I'm sure it will be. Let me know if you want me to proofread your next post.


I'm really struggling to improve my business sales.

What have you tried to turn your business around?

Well, I launched a new product line and also just launched a new blog.

Those should be good revenue generators.

I hope so, but the blog domain name was expensive to buy.

I'm sure it will pay off in the long run.


Context: Casey gave Alex a first aid kit to hold while she addressed a wound Alex acquired playing volleyball.

Here take this first aid kit, it'll help you with that wound.

Oh sweet thanks! Luckily it's not too bad

Yah that could have been way worse! You fell on that rock pretty hard!

I know, if I had fallen just a little bit farther left i would have hit my head

THat would have been bad. You lucked out

I know! I'll be more careful next time


I had to use my field training on Alex today.

Did Alex get hurt?

She fell during volleyball really hard and I think she sprained something.

You wrapped it for her?

Yes and she held the kit and was really good about it.

I hope she's okay to play again.


Context: The baseball game was intense, but in the end, Sasha saved their team from destruction.

Wow, that was a tough game.

Yeah, it was very intense. But we won thanks to you!

Aww that's not true.

It is though! You saved us at the end with that crucial block

That was an awesome play, I was pretty proud of that.

Yeah! You saved the game!


It was the bottom of the ninth, two outs, the bases were loaded, we were behind by two, and of course it was my turn at bat....

Not like there's any pressure to that.

Right. But I managed to send the ball over the short-stop's head, and when the fielder picked it up finally, he threw it past the third baseman...

So how many of your runners got in?

Two, just enough to tie the game. We won after two innings of overtime.

So you saved the day!


I can't believe I finally hit a home run!

Yeah, and it was the game winner too, I'm so happy for you.

I never thought I'd hit one, I've been playing for over 3 years and never did.

It was all the practice you put in to this game, Sasha I'm telling you.

The feeling of circling the bases knowing we won was the best feeling ever.

Yeah you looked so happy coming into home base.


The baseball game was SO INTENSE!

Really?  I'm so sad I missed it!

Yeah, you really missed a dramatic ending!

Now you're making me feel bad!

You missed my moment to shine, I totally saved the game at the last second!

Well I will make sure to be there next time.


Context: Tracy had words with the director and ultimately got her way and the script was changed.

So today was my first day on the new set with the director with the new script and oh boy it wasn't good from the get go!

Oh no, did you not like the set, what was wrong?

The set was great, the director was great, the script...not so much. There were so many vulger words, I told him I absolutely would not say those things!

Weren't you afraid of being replaced?

Of course, but I just couldn't go with that script and in the end he agreed and made the necessary changes for me, he was great

Oh my gosh, I think you got lucky there!


Hi. I wanted to talk a bit about the script.

Sure, what are your thoughts?

Well I wanted to discuss the second act. I think we could change some things that would make the story more fluid.

Ok, I'm always open to feedback.

Great! I'll email you my notes.

Awesome! I'll read those over tonight and make the changes, you always have great feedback.


It was intimidating, but I felt I had to stick up for myself. Even with a director of that stature.

You must have been scared silly on the inside.

I was, at first. But he listened to me, and really heard what I had to say.

Good. Those script revisions are going to make a huge difference.

Right? Otherwise my role just doesn't make sense. Thank goodness he agreed with me.

At the end of the day, everyone just wants the film to be good. You're all after the same thing.


I spoke with the director, and had some changes made to the script.

Oh yea, How did the director feel about making the changes?

I don't think he wanted to at first, but realized it was all in the best interest of the play.

I think that the changes will make the play even smoother, it will flow better with them.

I agree, I'm glad he took the time to listen to me, and understand where I was coming from.

I can't wait to hear the script with your changes in it.


Ugh I really hated the movie script they wrote.

Why, what was wrong with it?

There were just some really disrespectful jokes about women.

Ugh that is so gross. What did you do?

I actually spoke to the director and had them change it.

That's so brave of you, I'm glad you did that.


Context: Even though we were all still hungover, Lee got us to drink.

Let's drink guys!

Dude we are so hungover.

I don't care I'm still fine.

Yea but you are an animal.

Let's just workout tomorrow.

Sounds good light it up.


Alright boys time to start again.

I'm so hungover i cant even walk.

You know what they say, only way to cure a hangover is with a shot.

I guess you're right.

Lets go boys!

Alright.


Let's get some drinks and party!

I still have a hangover from last night

The best way to get rid of it is drink some more

Yeah man, then what are we waiting for

Let's get to it

Then let's get on with the party


Do you want a Mimosa with breakfast?

No way, I feel sick from drinking so much last night.

Sometimes, a little alcohol can actually cure a hangover!

I'm not so sure about that.

Just take a few sips and see what you think.

Ok, I guess I'll have a glass.


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

I really fooled Addison.

What did you do?

She keeps buying me things because she thinks I'm a good guy.

That's really not a nice thing to do.

Maybe not, but it's free stuff.

It will all come back to get you in the end.


I feel that we are very virtuous in the way we approach this problem.

Yes, let's just go ahead and dump the chemicals down the river for faster transport.

It won't hurt the fish as it said in the studies we read.

I don't think those studies are conclusive but this is the best way to get rid of this waste.

Plus, it will save us a lot of time and money.

I think we are doing the right think here.
