That's really nice of you to help your friend.

Yeah, I know all about first aid

Are you sure that's the right product to use?


Context: Kai went hunting with a friend in the wilderness. Kai shot a deer.

I shot my first deer!

On your hunting trip with your friend?

Of course, on my hunting trip! You think I did it at the zoo? What kind of a loser do you think I am? I got a great shot and now I am a pro!

A pro? I doubt that. How many points?

Oh, I didn't have to pay any points. Since my friend did all the really hard work, I doubt I will earn anything. He tracked the deer, he snuck up on his prey. And then, he shot it clean through the heart using his bow and arrow.  But I got the shot that counts!

You shot a photo didn't you? You shot a photo of a dead animal. That doesn't make you a pro!


It was my first time hunting when we went to Alaska.

Did you enjoy it?

I liked being in the wilderness, but I don't think I'll go again.

Really? Why not?

If I had to hunt to eat, I would. But I just really don't enjoy killing an animal.

I didn't think you would. I could see you just shooting photographs instead.


I am really excited to skin what I caught.

Yeah I feel that, what did you catch when you went hunting?

I was able to kill a deer!

Wow that is awesome man. I am so stoked.

Yeah it was a great thing to do and to try.

For sure man keep it up.

That looks very expensive and shiny so yeah man I think she'll like it.

Come on man, don't be smart do you really like it?

Yes I do, she will love it I am being serious now.

It is her favourite colour so I think it will be her favourite one yet.

She is a lucky woman if you can afford something like that.


I want to surprise Jan with a present for our anniversary.

That's exciting what are you planning on getting her?

Oh it's just a little present to celebrate our anniversary.

What is it?

It's a necklace, but you mustn't tell Jan, I want it to be a surprise.

I will keep my mouth shut.

Do you think he will be ready in time for his date this weekend?

Probably but he did ask me for help cooking dinner.

That is nice of you to do.

I just want his date to go well.

Me too, he deserves some happiness and it would make him look good.


Quinn has been trying so hard, so I couldn't refuse when he asked for help cooking the dinner.

It was nice of you to help.

There's some real talent there. The dishes he prepares are quite unique.

I've always thought he had potential to be a great chef.

That's obvious. It's something innate, you either have it or you don't.

I think that's great. He has been so excited about it.


Context: Lee got ready for Kendall's big birthday celebration. He got all dressed up.

I wish I could have been there. What was he wearing?

White tie and tails. Actual tails. Like animal tails.

Oh, very funny. He's a witty one.


Did you see Lee?

I didn't, is everything okay?

Yes, he got all dressed up for my birthday celebration.

Wow, he really went all out for you!


Lee said he is all ready for my birthday party.

Did he get all dressed up?

He was dressed really well.

I'm sure wanted to look his best for your big party.

That's what he said.


Context: When Casey moved away from her home town, Cameron asked her write home.

I asked Casey to write home when she moved away from home.

It's hard to leave your home town.

She's been here all of her life.

She's going away for college right?  Where is she going?

Casey is moving to Cambridge, Massachusetts. She got into Harvard.

She is so smart.


I finally got an actual letter today from Casey.

Haven't you guys been texting and emailing all the time since she moved.

Yeah, but I also asked her to write snail mail letters, so we could be pen pals like people used to do.

That's so cool, what did she say?

Says she misses us and our home town and even included some arcade tickets she found when she was unpacking.

Hey lets go to the arcade and use them, then we can mail her what ever we win with the tickets.


Context: Casey was new at school and sat by herself. Sasha walked over and became Casey's friend.

There's a new girl at school.

I don't remember seeing anyone new.

Her name is Casey, she was sitting by herself.

Did you say anything to her?

I walked over to say hi, we're friends now.

You're a good person, Sasha.


I walked over to this new girl Casey at school who sat by herself during lunch.

That's nice of you.

She looks timid but nice. I wanted to be her friend.

She'll be lucky to have a friend like you.

I know almost everyone at school. I'll make sure she makes some friends. It's hard to the new girl.

It's really is. I've moved a bunch of times, I know.


I met a new girl at school today.

Oh who is that?

Her name is Casey. She was sitting by herself and looked kind of sad. So I went over and talked to her.

Oh how cool! I can't wait to meet her.


Context: Skylar protected every person in their kingdom, no matter how rich or poor.

I care about everyone in this kingdom, rich or poor!

Prove it to us!

I just signed a bill giving tax write-offs for the poor as well opportunities for well paying jobs.

But now you're going to take too much from the rich!

Not true. My plan does not involve taking any money from the rich. It benefits everyone in the kingdom.

We hope you are telling the truth!


I want everyone to be safe.

But the rich will reward you.

Yes, but there are so many poor to protect.

The poor don't deserve it.

Everyone deserves a safe kingdom.

I guess you are right.


What can I do for you?

How much for your protection?

I don't charge for that. I protect everyone in the kingdom, regardless of their wealth.

Then how do you earn a living?

You do not have to worry about that.

I feel less worry already.


Context: Quinn kept in a good frame of mind last night to prepare for house work today.

Last night I prepared everything for a deep clean of the house this morning.

Did you get all of your supplies that you needed?

I went to the store and got bleach, cleaner, dish liquid, carpet cleaner, all the good stuff and then turned on some music.

How long did it take you to finish it?

Just a few hours.

That was because you prepared and had everything ready.


Context: Ash wanted the new video game and they went to the store and picked it up.

Oh man, I so want that game! It just came out last week!

I know, me too. This tv ad makes it look really fun. And its for the virtual reality headset!

You know we have to buy it, right? Want to split the cost? We can play together.

Sure! Don't get mad if I beat you though!

Yeah, you wish! Ok, let's go pick it up now!

Sure thing! I'll bring the car around.


Context: Ash held the cross in the church and took it down from the wall for a few minutes.

I really love the design of this cross and I want to see where it was made.

I think that's from Mexico because I can see the engraving on the bottom of it.

I will just take a picture and reverse image search it on google and see if I can find the same one when I get home.

That's actually a really genius idea and will work great.


Context: An angel came unto Robin and Ash after they almost died from a car wreck that killed 2 other people.

Ash and I should be dead but an angel saved us!

You saw an angel?.

Yes, it came down and saved us from the car wreck.

Wow that must've been incredible.


I tell you Ash and I saw an angel after that car crash. We both saw this glowing light and heard it speak.

Wow. I have heard of stuff like that. Are you sure?

We both saw it. Maybe it was the spirit of the 2 people who died in the other car? Or our guardian angel?

That is really amazing.

I feel so blessed to be alive. I know it was telling me something. Maybe to make my life better.


Context: sasha had just bought a new house with her husband so she invited her mom over to the house.

I invited my mom over for dinner.

I'm sure she's excited to see the new house.

I'm glad my husband and I decided to finally buy a house instead of renting.

It's definitely an investment. Once it's paid off you can retire. Not have to worry about a place to live.

I know. My mom is picky though so I hope she likes it.

I'm sure she will and it's not like she has to live in it.


My husband and I just got a new house together.

I'm really happy for you two, you guys deserve it.

Thanks, I've invited my mother over this weekend to come and check it out now that it's all decorated.

I am sure she will love it!

I hope so.

I hope you have a great weekend.

I always got criticized by how much I look after my daughter, but now I'm pretty glad about it.

Why, what happened that you are so happy about?

Well, she wasn't paying attention to where she was going half the time, so I started watching her closely.

And did something end up happening?

Yeah, she was wondering on the sidewalk and a car nearly hit her, but I saw it coming so I got her out of the way.

Oh, my goodness, thank God you were there and paying attention to her.


I had a scare the other day.  I was holding Ashley's hands while we were crossing the street and she dropped her toy and ran after it. She almost got hit by a car.

How scary. I am glad you were there to save her.

I just yanked her so quickly when I saw that car getting close.

Was it speeding?

It ran a red light. The police was right then and chased it until it stopped.

That sounds dramatic.


My daughter had a real close call at the park the other day.

What, did she fall off a swing or something?

No. She almost ran in the road and got hit by a car.

Wow. Who stopped her from running?

I'm glad I was keeping a close watch on her. I grabbed her and saved her from getting hit.

Wow. It's a good thing you were close and paying attention.


Context: With little regard for his own safety and exhaustion, Alex helped everyone that was in distress.

How was your day?

Not bad, you?

I almost died today by saving like 6 people from this fire.

Oh my god, dude you're a hero! Do you have injuries?

Very minor, I am just glad everyone is ok. Most intense day I've had with the Fire Department since I joined.

I'll say!


I am exhausted and depleted!

You must be after helping everyone in the fire.

I helped the fire fighters rescue victims from a burning building.

You sure did and with little regard for your own safety.

I was just being a good Samaritan.

You are an angel Alex.


Context: Taylor improved the patient's health by making sure he took his medicine on time every day.

You're a great nurse, Taylor.


Context: Aubrey never spoke aloud during class so people thought she wasn't smart. One day she answered a question and showed forth the wisdom.

Why is everybody looking at me like I grew another head or something?

Are you kidding? Do you realize that was the first time you've ever spoken up in class?

It was? Hm, I guess you're right. I hadn't really thought about it.

Well, I would guess everyone's realizing there's more to you than meets the eye.

I'm just shy, that's all. Why, what did everyone think?

Everybody pretty much assumed you were a little slow.


I finally spoke up in class today and answered a question.

That's great, did you get the answer correct?

Yes, everyone seemed surprised though.

Maybe it's because you don't often speak up.

I think everyone thought I wasn't smart.

Well you've proven them wrong.


So people never thought I was smart.

How do you know that?

They told me.

That doesn't seem very nice.

Well, it's because I never talk during class. They told me now they see my wisdom.

People should not be so quick to judge.


Context: Kai's mother was calling him for dinner, but Kai kept playing.

I'm having so much fun playing this video game.

I think I hear your mom calling you for dinner.

I can't eat right now, we're in the middle of a game.

Your mom might get mad if you ignore her.

She won't mind if I'm a little late.

Ok, then let's finish this game.


My mother always calls me for dinner when I am right in the middle of a game.

What do you do?

I usually just keep playing until she brings my food up to me.

At least it doesn't get cold then.


My mom keeps calling me to go eat.

Well, I guess this is our last game.

Yes. For a while at least. She's getting mad I'm ignoring her calls.

Well, don't get in trouble. Last time she took the game away from you for 2 weeks.

I remember. I'm not even in the mood for dinner.

Well, just eat a little so due doesn't get mad.


I love playing this video game with you.

Isn't that your mom calling you for dinner?

I don't hear anything.

She's definitely calling, and she's getting upset.

I still can't hear anything.

Well, here she comes, and she looks pretty angry.


Context: When she couldn't get her way in the argument, Sydney stormed off to her room.

I was so angry at my parents I ran to my room and slammed the door. We were fighting again about my drinking.

It sounds like your parents are concerned. How much are you drinking?

Just a bottle of vodka a week. What do they care. They drink just as much.

Yeah, but you are only 20. Maybe they don't want you to become like them.

That's true. They are the last people I want to turn into.


Context: Jesse set Robin's house on fire after finding out that she had been cheating on him for years.

I need a place to hide.

Why?

Jesse caught me cheating and is really upset.

Why do you need to hide though?

He set my house on fire, so I am staying out of his way.

Wow that is very extreme.


He is in jail.

You put him there.

I didn't start the fire, he did that on his own.

If you had never cheated, he would never have burned your house down.

You are taking his side, you are suppose to be my friend.

I am, but it is your fault too.


My poor house. The whole kitchen is destroyed because Jesse got mad at me and set it on fire.

Why in the world would he do such a thing?

He is upset because he found out that I have been cheating with his cousin for the last couple months.

He is insane. This is so crazy.

I hope he goes to prison for a long time for this.

He will. There is no way out of it. He will go to jail where he belongs.


Context: Quinn was invited out for dinner by a colleague but she felt a bit uncomfortable around them so decided not to go so just didnt show up.

I was invited out to dinner last weekend by a colleague.

Did you have a good time?

I didn't show up.

Why not?

I felt uncomfortable around them so I decided not to go.

If you don't feel comfortable around someone it might be best to let them know.


My co-worker invited to dinner tomorrow night.

Do you plan on going to dinner with them?

I don't think so, he is always making comments to me that make me uncomfortable.

Have you told him to stop making the comments, that they make you uncomfortable?

I am afraid that if I say anything, I will lose my job.

Would you like me to kick his ass?


Context: Sydney increased their productivity by switching from one task to another before finishing the first task.

I decided to do different tasks and alternate them to work more efficiently.

Did it work? Did you get them all done?

I actually did, it refreshed my mind to work on something different every half hour.

I need to try that, I feel like I get so bored with doing one job all day.

It really helped me get things done.

You need to show me how you do this so I can be more efficient as well.


Context: Alex had to get a blood test done. Addison gave Alex assurance that everything would be okay.

I have to go get my blood tested tomorrow after school.

Are you nervous about that?

I was, but Alex made me feel better when I called her earlier.

That was nice of her. Do you want me to come with you to the test?

No, I'll be fine, but I might call you before or after.

OK, yeah, give me a call whenever if you need someone to talk to.


Context: After Jordan's mother died from a drunk driver, Jordan created consumer awareness and positive feelings.

I really want to make people aware of the issue of drunk drivers.

I get it. After your mothers death.

It just made me really care more about this whole issue.

It's great that you are trying to use your tough times to enlighten others.

Thank you! I try. Easier said than done.

I get it, but you'll be successful.


I feel we should all do more to prevent drunk drivers from getting on the streets.

Its a huge problem, but if we work hard we can achieve awareness.

I agree I work hard everyday so that no one has to suffer a loss like mine.

What happened?

I lost my mom due to a drunk driving accident.

So sorry to hear I guess I get why you are so committed with the cause now.


I feel proud of myself for promoting awareness for drunk drivers.

It's just unfortunate that people think they can drink and drive.

I guess we need to teach them about it before it gets to that point unfortunately.

I think teaching kids responsibility is a great idea.


I had to create consumer awareness since my mother died from a drunk driver.

I heard you did and also made it nice.

Yes because only positive feelings will make people engage.

It's a good movement. I'm glad you did it.

We have to keep ourselves safe.

Yes it's important, really important.


Context: Carson marched to the beat of a different drum, which made a lot of other kids make fun of them.

I don't care what other kids think.

Well you shouldn't really.

They make fun of me for being different.

That's not very nice of them.

It won't make me change who I am though.

It shouldn't matter what others think of you.


I don't know why people keep making fun of me.

What are they doing?

They laugh at me whenever they see me and I don't know why.

Well Carson you are a bit different, but that is what makes you unique. Don't listen to the haters out there.

I know, it's just hard to ignore sometimes.

Look, I will always have your back okay? Don't worry.


I'm tired of people just being sheep.

What exactly do you mean by sheep?

People that can't make up their own mind and just follow what everybody else says and does.

OK, I understand now.

I am my own person and I make my own decisions that some people aren't going to lie, thus they call me names and treat me differently.

Well from my perspective, that's the thing I love about you the most.


Context: Remy wanted to go hiking yesterday but their shoes were uncomfortable and they needed new ones.

Sorry I missed the hike yesterday.

Why didn't you come along?

My shoes are really worn out and uncomfortable.

Ah, that would've been miserable with bad shoes.

Yeah, I'm going to get new ones soon.

Great, maybe you can make it next time.


Would you like to go shopping with me so we can pick out new shoes with me?

Sure, I needed to pick up a new pair and this would be a great time hanging out.

I might pick up an extra pair because they have a buy one get one free sale.

I hope we can pick up a few good deals since I just got a new credit card.

Try not to spend too much so you can pay it off and not be in debt.


Man, we are going to be late for our hiking trip.

Why would you say that? We have plenty of time

These hiking boots are terrible. They are cutting into my feet and the heels wore out unevenly in the back.

Well, just deal with it. You're a pro. You should be able to hike in flip flops.

I can't. Let's just stop off at the sporting goods store to pick some new ones.

Okay, I may need to get some lipstick, rouge and eye shadow for the trip.


I really wanted to go hiking yesterday but my shoes don't fit the same way since my surgery.

I guess you're going to have to get all new shoes?

My sandals will still be okay, but my boots and dress shoes will need to be a size larger now.

I'm glad you got your foot operated on though, I know you're not in pain anymore.

Yeah. Having to buy new shoes is a small price to pay for being pain-free!

Isn't that the truth! We'll go hiking next weekend.


Context: Ash made a snide comment about what Addison was wearing. Addison gave Ash a look.

I can't believe Ash would have the audacity to make a snide remark about my clothing.

What did he say about your clothes?

He said it was too skimpy for winter. So I gave him a look.

I think he just has a crush on you.

How do you figure that?

He was looking closely at what you were wearing.


I didn't really like what Ash said about me today.

I heard he commented on your outfit?

Yeah he said it was outdated so I gave him a mean look.

Good, that sent the message that he should be nicer.

I hope he actually changes.

Me too, only time will tell.


Context: Even though Sydney was very frustrated, Jan prevented Sydney from becoming angry with a hug.

Sydney seemed frustrated.

What was making her frustrated?

She failed an exam she had been preparing for.

That's unlucky, I bet she was angry.

I gave her a hug to calm her down and prevent her from being angry.

I am sure she appreciates the support.


Context: Sydney was asking Jordan a question and he was ignoring her. Sydney made Jordan answer her.

Sometimes Jordan gets on my nerves.

Which one of his qualities gets on your nerves?

He's often in his own world and ignores what's going on around him including the people.

I have also noticed the same thing about Jordan.

I had to let him know that if this continues we won't be able to hang out anymore.

That's a tough stance but one that you have every right to take.


Context: Sydney went wild. It was caught on video.

I am so embarrassed!

Oh no, what did you do now?

You haven't seen the video?

Video? No I haven't seen any video. What's on the video?

I went to the beach last night and partied with some boys. I went wild.

And this is on video? Wait until everyone at school hears about this. You might have to move!


I can't believe I got that drunk last night.

You were dancing on top of all the tables.

I have never acted like that in my life.

Don't be embarrassed, you are in college it happens all the time.

I was always a good kid though.

Having fun doesn't make you a bad person.


Context: Remy made a bet on a soccer team, she knows a lot about sports and people trust her choices.

You know how I'm always talking about sports, right?

Yeah, especially soccer. You love that stuff.

I finally put down a bet on one of the big soccer games.

No way! How did it go?

I managed to convince some other people to go in on the bet too since they trusted my judgment, and we all won big.


I made a bet on the soccer game.

Are you sure about this game?

Definitely. A few other people bet on it too because they trust me.

How many others?

A lot. Why do you keep asking?

Because I just bet on the other team before I heard you bet.


I have a lot of confidence in this team. They're unstoppable.

Seems like it. They're definitely on a streak.

You know, I could win several thousand dollars here if all goes well.

Wow, I didn't realize you bet that much.

I wasn't planning to, but when I crunched the numbers, it seemed like a safe bet.

Can you imagine if you win, you'll be rich.


Context: Jordan provided Tracy a service by renting a truck and helping her move all her furniture into storage.

It has been a rough weekend for me!

What do you mean? What did you do this weekend that was so rough?

My friend Tracy was moving this weekend and her moving crew backed out, so I volunteered to help.

That was nice of you, but I guess I understand now why you are so tired.

Tired and sore is more like it, but I enjoy helping friends out.

At least I know who to call the next time I need some help!


I was very busy all day yesterday

What were you doing?

I rented a truck and helped Tracy.

What did Tracy need a truck for?

She's moving and doesn't need her furniture right now so we put it all into storage

You are a great friend to Tracy!


Context: As a great favor to their old friend, Taylor took Kendall's dog on a walk.

I just got back from walking Kendall's dog.

Why would you have to walk Kendall's dog?

They went to work event and wouldn't make it back in time for the dog to use the bathroom.

That was nice of you to do the favour for them.

Yeah, nice. I do not like dogs.

Then it was a huge favour for you to walk the dog.


Come on, sweet puppy!

You must really like dogs.

I do! Kendall's dog is awesome, and deserves to go on walks.

Cool, can I walk with you guys?

Sure.

Thanks.


I am really enjoying going on this dog walk.

I didn't realise you had a dog!

I wish! It's not mine, I am doing a favour for an old friend, Kendall.

Well this is good practice if you ever decide to get a dog of your own.

That is very true, I do really want one.

Maybe we should visit the shelter this weekend and have a look.


Kendall has been down for a while so I figured I would go see if I could help her out.

I can't believe she has been sick for so long. Does she seem any better?

She's getting stronger. I offered to walk the dog since she can't really get around much yet.

I bet he was glad to have some exercise! Her dog is so cute!

He was really excited. I know Kendall wants the best for him. I remember when he was just a puppy.

He's like her baby for sure.


Context: Addison turned back to look because she felt a hand on her shoulder as she was walking.

I had a big fright walking home the other night.

Is everything okay, what happened?

I was walking home after work and I thought I felt someone touch my shoulder so I kept turning back to look, but there was nobody there.

That is very spooky, I wonder what it was.

I realised once I got home that it was just the wind blowing my hair!

That is a big relief!


Did you see that person touch me? That guy with the moustache?

Yeah, I did. What was that all about?

He said he thought I was somebody else. He seemed pretty embarrassed.

He should be. It's kind of dumb to go around touching strangers.

It was an honest mistake. I felt kind of bad for him.

Well, he probably won't go around touching people any more.


Context: Taylor laughed while taking a sip of soda.  This had an unfortunate result which she would feel bad about.

I just spilled soda all over me.

How did that happen Taylor?

Chuck made me laugh right when I put the glass to me lips.

Silly chuck is always doing stuff like that.

He really is, isn't he?


It was so embarrassing!

What happened?

I was at the party last night. I laughed after I drank some soda and it came out my nose.

That does sound embarrassing.


Context: ash took their pic with the president and posted it on facebook for everyone to see.

Well I did print it for you and I also posted it on Facebook for everyone to see.

Wow that's cool! Thanks!


Context: Kendall arrived early to the party to help out. Kendall helped to get the party started.

So I went to Kylie's house to help out with the party, and she hadn't even started preparing for it.

What time did you get there?

Like two hours before it was supposed to start! So being the good sister that I am I got everything ready for her, and just in the nick of time too.

She's so lazy sometimes.

I swear sometimes I think I'm adopted. I'm not like anyone else in my family. Anyways it turned out fine. We had a lot of fun.

You are the party whisperer, everyone says so!


I arrived at the party so early to help out!

How is the preparation for the party?

Very good! I helped the party get started!

That sounds fun!


I'm excited.

Why?

I came early to get the party setup and help everyone out. I love parties.

I'm a fan of parties too.

Yeah, it's fun.


Context: Quinn wrote a map and gave it to her students in the class to look at.

I made a really big map for all of the kids.

Oh are you going into slave trade again?

Yes, and it is important that they know what they are learning isn't a cookie cutter version of history.

I think the way you teach is really admirable, did they like the maps.

They said it was really pretty.


My students have been struggling with geography and orienteering and stuff, but I came up with a solution.

Orienteering? You mean like map reading and directional stuff?

Exactly. More on the geography front. Anyway, I decided to make my own map of our town from scratch. They were shocked!

Did you really go through all that trouble?

Yeah. I didn't want to give them any excuse of boredom or indifference. They were so impressed and looked at it all period!

Maybe you've found a new skill!


I wanted to be a cartologist.

You wanted to be a cartoonist?

No silly, a map maker.

Why bring that subject up at this time?

I wrote a map and gave it to my students in the class to look at and they thought it was very professional.

What do kids know?


Context: Remy died in a tragic accident and Aubrey was shocked to hear the news.  Aubrey sat taking it all in while memories of Remy ran through Aubrey's mind.

Remy's death hit me hard, I'm remembering all the good times.

Yeah he was such a great person.

Gone too soon but not from my heart.

I will always remember the bonfire.

That was such a high point my life.

I miss him too.


I can't believe he is dead.

Have you talked to Remy's parents yet?

No I haven't been able to muster up the strength to call them.

Yeah, I know how that feeling. He was always such a nice guy.

He really was, and funny, I just didn't know he was into drugs.

I know, it is so sad.


Context: Kai was always so loud and liked to annoy them. Kai gave people headaches as a result.

I had so much fun annoying everyone all of last night.

I know that you enjoy annoying them to get back at what they did to you.

I was as loud as a I could be and belligerent to them.

What your parents did, by making you end your relationship with him was wrong.

My mom said I gave them a headache.

Did they have to take headache medicine this morning?


Context: Jordan was having a hard time getting the team to come up with something. Jordan gave the team Casey's idea.

Do you remember me telling you about our team being in charge of the upcoming charity event?

Yes, you said that Jordan wasn't really getting any good ideas and you were afraid to share yours.

Well, when we took a break I talked to Jordan about the idea I had for a night at the races.

Did she like the idea?

She loved it so much that she shared it with the team and they all agreed to try it.

I think it's a great idea and I am so happy you took a risk and talked to Jordan.


Jordan gave the team my idea because they couldn't come up with something.

Did he ask you first?

No, I wasn't at work yesterday when they had the meeting. I think he gave me credit though.

That's good. You should get credit for your good ideas.

I have heard about many managers who steal other people's ideas.

People will do anything to get ahead.


Context: Quinn decided to get a new haircut.  Their hair was too long.

I just got a new haircut at the salon. What do you think?

I like it. Short hair really looks good on you.

Yeah, I thought it was getting too long and wanted something cooler for summer.

It's also probably easier to care for too.

Yeah it's going to free up more time for watching movies.


I went to get my hair cut today if you can't tell.

Wow man you had hair down to your shoulders.

Yeah I wanted it to be really short again.

How long was it before?

It was like 10 inches long and this is almost like a buzzcut.

You should have just got a mullet that would be cool.


Context: Jan took her child's immunization forms to the doctor, to see if her daughter needed any booster shots.

I had to take my daughter to the doctor this morning.

Why? Is she sick?

No. School's getting ready to start. I had to take her immunization forms to see if she needed any booster shots.

The kids need an awful lot of shots to get into school.

She hates shots and throws a fit, but luckily she's up-to-date.

I need to take my son in to see what he needs for school. I better set up an appointment.


Context: Addison spent most of Skylar's time at the appointment asking insurance questions, and didn't get to the therapy.

I went to talk to Skylar at her office about some new insurance policies.

Really? How did that go? Did you buy any new policies?

Well, there was so much that I wasn't aware of, I spent about 2 hours just asking about insurance and learning new things.

Wow, two hours? You must have been really interested.

I really was, I spent so long there, I never made it to my therapy appointment.

Well, at least you found something that you are actually really interested in, and it's never a bad thing to discover something that you want to learn more about!


I needed to know how much of these therapy sessions the insurance company is covering for Skylar.

They should have been able to tell you that when you showed up at the appointment.

They hadn't even run it though. They told me I would be billed afterwards by mail.

That doesn't sound right. You should have been able to go in there and pay the company.

It was a one hour appointment. I spent the whole hour arguing with the therapist's office staff. Skylar didn't even get into that appointment.

What's bad is that your insurance company will still get billed for that hour? You will have to pay the balance of what they don't pay.


Context: addison had a evil clone that bit him, so addison bit the clone addison back.

I hated it when the clone bit me.

Oh no! What did you do?

Well, I bit him back. That'll teach him.

Well, as long as the lesson was learned.

I hear you. I got him this time.

Yes, you sure did.


My evil clone in this new game I got is really scary.

What happened in the game?

The clone turned evil and bit my character.

That is terrifying, how did you react?

My character had a bite move too, so I bit the clone back.

Wow, that sounds exciting too.


Context: sydney met aliens in space and learned a few things so he sent peace to the earth.

You should probably be thanking me. Well, the whole world should be thanking me.

Why should the whole world be thanking you?

Because last night I was abducted by space aliens and they asked me what Earth was like, so I told them.

And what did they think?

They thought it wasn't worth saving but I promised we would try to do better. We have 3 years to get our act together.

This is information that we should probably share with people more important than us.


There needs to be more peace here.

What do you mean?

I went to space and met aliens, and decided this place needs more peace.

You mean earth?

Yes

What are you talking about?


Context: Lee was organising a surprise party for a friend so he sent a message around all their other friends.

Hey everyone, I am getting a surprise party ready for Kyle. I sent this message to everyone.

That is a great idea! What can I bring?

Maybe paper towels and soda.

You got it!

It should be a great time everyone!


Are you going to be able to come to the surprise party?

Wouldn't miss it! Is there anything I can help with?

Yes, thanks for offering. I have a list of things I still need to get done. You can pick from that or contact everyone.

I can contact everyone first and then pick.

I would really appreciate that so much.


Context: Remy told the customer to mind their step in the store since the step was elevated.

It was an interesting day at the shop today, again!

What is going on with that?

I have to keep reminding people of the elevated step when they are coming in, it gets tedious.

But it keeps everyone safe, right.

Sometimes, I had to stop a guy today and specifically point out the step and he still stumbled!

Wow, maybe someone can remove that step.


Context: Jesse wrote a song for his girlfriend. On their date Jesse sung their song to her.

Man, this girl is amazing.

So I've heard. Did you really write a song for her?

Of course, man. She deserves it. She's my shining star man.

Hah, well she liked it I guess?

Oh yeah, man, she gave me a kiss on the lips.

That's good Jesse. I'm glad she liked it.


Man! my throat hurts.

What's up with it. Are you feeling sick?

No buddy, I sang to my girlfriend the song I had written especially for her over dinner yesterday.

Dude! You can't sing your voice is horrible.

I know right.

Yeah well, I hope she went with it.


I was so nervous on mine and Mindy's date last night!

Why, you have been out with her several times now?

Well I wrote a song for her and I sung it to her, talk about nerve wrecking.

Oh wow, I would be nervous to! How did it go, did she like it?

She said she did, but seriously I think she really liked it, she got a little emotional.

You are so sweet, I am sure you made her feel very special!


Context: austin wanted to have the maximum amount of fun possible so he shot their load toward the sky.

I want to have a lot of fun today

Right, I feel that. Where are you going to shoot your load?

Probably into the sky. This is the best option.

You're right. It is a big sky.

it really is. Thanks for helping me decide

Yeah for sure.


We were at the shooting range last night.

That sounds fun.

We fired shots the whole time and it felt so good.

I know, you have not done that in a long time.

I fired the last shots till my gun was empty.

I am so glad for you.


I wanted to have the maximum amount of fun possible.

How did you accomplish that?

I shot the load toward the sky.

Sounds like a lot of fun! I really wish I was there.


Context: Even though it was slightly spoiled, Aubrey drank the milk anyway.

I just prayed that I won't get an upset stomach. It was slightly spoiled but I drank it anyways.

Were you alright?

I made it through the night. I think I am fine.

I drink recently expired milk sometimes, especially when there's no other milk in the house.

That was my last cup of milk and I was craving it. It paired well with my brownie.

Those two do go together.


Do you know if this milk is still good?

I think it is, but there is a chance it is lightly spoiled.

Nasty, it is a little bit spoiled.

Then why're you still drinking it?

Because we have no other milk.


Yesterday I accidentally drank spoiled milk.

Gross. Are you feeling okay?

I'm feeling a little sick actually.

At least you have today off from work.

Yes, I think I'll go lie down.

I hope you feel better soon.


Context: Sasha had paid Riley for services rendered by check because they had no cash on hand, and after leaving the site, Riley cashed Sasha´s check.

I had to pay Riley for her services using a check.

How come you used a check?

I didn't have any cash on me.

Did Riley cash in the check?

Yes, she cashed it in straight after leaving, I noticed the money leave my account that evening.

I hope it was worth it.


I recently had to have Riley come do some yard work for me and she did a nice job.

Yes, she does good work.

I felt kind of bad because I had no cash so I had to give her a check.

I am sure she didn't mind, assuming you didn't write a bad check!

No of course not!

I am sure she was just happy to earn some money and make you happy.


I had to pay Riley by check for her help.

What did Riley do for you?

She helped with some garden work I had been putting off.

How much did you pay her?

Well the work took a few days, so in the end I paid her $200, I didn't have it in cash so that's why I paid her using a check.

Money is money, I am sure she was greatful.


Riley needs to cash the check I gave her, can you remind her?

Of course, I will make sure she buys something good.

Just make sure the check doesn't expire before she cashes it in.

Will do, I know she needs to buy some things in town, so we will visit the bank while we are there.

That sounds good.

See you later.


Context: Jesse didn't want to go, so he told his mom that Sasha was feeling sick, she had the flu.

I feel like a million bucks but I have to stay in bed with the flu.

I overheard Jesse saying that you were sick!

It's because Jesse didn't want to go to Remy's lame knitting party so I am pretending to be sick to get us out of it.

Oh, those are dull then they always break out in a bridge game.

Exactly, that's why we are pretending to have the flu.

You should just say you don't want to go instead of lying.


Context: Carson bought the meat from the gas station, but bought bread at the supermarket.

Do you like the meat that I made?

Oh definitely, it's so good!

Thanks, I am glad.

Where did you get it from again?

I actually bought it at the gas station, but I had picked up the French bread from the grocery store.

That is interesting, but not sure how I feel about eating gas station meat.


I've made a very questionable decision.

What'd you do?

I bought meat from a gas station, and bread from a supermarket.

Gas station meat?

Yes, if I don't see you tomorrow you know why.

Good luck with that.


I was at the gas station so I bought the meat there, but I had to go to the supermarket to buy the bread.

I do that sometimes, especially now that the stores can't seem to keep food in stock.

Not the food you want. I've been looking for eggs for my homemade cake. I still haven't found any.

I have an extra carton that I can give you.

That's would be great.

I can bring it over when I come over for game night.


While we're here, let me get some meat and bread.

You're getting meat at a gas station?

They have a convenience store.

Well, hurry it up.

Got the meat, now I have to go to the supermarket to get the bread, there wasn't any here.

A convenience store has meat, but not bread. That makes sense.


This meat at the gas station is really tasty.

They sell meat at the gas station?

Yeah, I was surprised by it, but it is really good.

Do they sell other good things?

Their bread is bad, I buy that at the supermarket.

Okay, bread at the supermarket makes sense.


Context: Jan played Jordan the best speech in history and Jordan realized that they loved hearing speeches.

Jan played me an amazing speech earlier.

That sounds exciting, what speech was it?.

I'm not sure, but the title of the video was the best speech in history.

Did it live up to its title then?

It did! It has also made me realise that I love hearing speeches.

That was really nice of Jan.


Jan played this really great speech and I could not stop thinking about it.

Oh really I never took you for someone that enjoyed stuff like that.

Neither did I but it made me realize I love hearing speeches.

That is so great, you have a passion!

I plan to find a lot more and really get into them.

It is always great to do something like that you love.


Did you hear what Jan just played?

It sounded like it was an amazing speech!

I thought that was one that I have heard before. It was really good.

Do you enjoy listening to speeches?

Yes, I do enjoy some of the greatest ones.

I'm glad that you do. I really like them as well.


I just love listening to amazing people speak.

It's definitely a gift that some people have and most don't.

The eloquence that some of these people speak what is just amazing.

Smart people just sound good when they're up in front of a microphone talking.

Not all of them, because we've seen and heard plenty that sound otherwise.

You're right about that.


Context: Austin worked night shift every night so in the morning Austin went to bed and spent all afternoon sleeping.

I just woke up.

Wow, it's four in the afternoon!

Yeah I work the night shift now so I have to sleep during the day.

Wow that's got to be hard.

It takes some getting used to, that's for sure. I get home around eight in the morning and usually sleep until three or four.

I'm not sure I'd be able to do that. I need total darkness to sleep.


I going to bed now.

What time are you going to work? It's already morning yet your going to sleep?

My shift starts at night and so I spent all afternoon sleeping.

That's really tough.

I make night into day, and day into night.

I wish I could do that too.


I get so tired working night shift.

Do you ever stay up for the day?

No, I go home in the morning and sleep all afternoon.

Don't you feel like you waste the day?

No, I have to sleep to get ready for the next night shift.

Oh yeah, I guess you would have to sleep in the morning,


Context: Remy wanted Carson's kids to come visit so they could have family time and get to know each other.

I asked Carson if he could bring his kids over for a visit. We could have family time and get to know each other.

How old are Carson's kids?

He has two kids. They are three and five.

That's such a fun time. They are at that perfect age. They can talk and have endless energy.

I've only hung out with them twice. They are a bundle of joy.

Hope you get to spend more time with them soon.


Context: Cameron took their mom to the mall so they could buy some new clothes for the party.

I think you will like these clothes that I saw at the mall today with my mom.

Do you think they will have my size available?

I think so. They usually have all sizes available for everyone and they are stretchy too.

I think I gained a little weight this winter so I have been sceptical of trying new clothes on.

I am sure you will be fine.


I'm getting ready to go to the mall with my mom.

That sounds like a fun day retail therapy is always nice.

My mom and I are going to buy some new clothes for a party.

Oh what types of outfits do you have in mind?

It's going to be a theme party for the Great Gatsby so we're going to get some flapper type of outfits

You should look for some vintage pieces to sell the look.


Context: They liked to play the slots, so Quinn put coins in the machine.

I played the slots again last weekend.

Did you win any money?

I lost every coin I placed into the machine.

I thought those were just to serve as some kind of appetizer for the bigger table games.

I can never stand the pressure at the table games.

Yeah, it's because everyone's watching you.


I love going to casinos. I went to one last night.

Did you win anything?

I won one small jackpot but I put it all back in. As usual.

I never come home ahead. But it's fun to be there.

I agree. I had a nice night out and free drinks.


Let's play slots as usual.

Put your coins inside.

Oh, I won.

Let me try.

Oh, you won also.

Let's go before we lose it all.


Context: Kendall became hot after running away, she had to cool her heels.

It's too hot out here man.

Yeah its really hot today.

I'm done running for now.

Smart idea.


Remember the other day when it was so hot outside?

Yes. Wasn't that the day you ran away?

Yes, it was so hot and I ran for so long that I thought I was going to have a heatstroke and die.

That's dangerous! What did you do?

I had to cool off so I jumped in the pool at the park. I took my shoes off so I could make sure my heels got cool.

That was good thinking. Hot heels always suck.


Context: Sydney didn´t want vegetables, she ordered fries instead.

Thanks for coming out to eat with me.

I'm hungry too.

Well, I won't be having vegetables.

No surprise there.

Yes, I will go for the fries.

Another day, another healthful meal.


Hi, is the chicken served with just vegetables?

No, you can add anything you like to it.

Okay, aside from vegetables, what do you have?

We have fries and rice.

I'll have the fries instead.

Coming right up.


Vegetables are gross!

Momma says they help you stay healthy, but they do taste nasty.

We went out and I ordered me some fries.

The crinkle cut kind are the best.


Context: Tracy is a manager at the bank. Tracy needed to fire some employees including Kai. Kai was well liked. Tracy decided to talk to Kai.

It certainly is tough being the manager at the bank.

Was the place robbed?

No, but I need to fire some employees, including Kai, and he is well liked.

Have you started the process?

I've decided to talk to Kai, give him a letter of recommendation and a severance package.

I wish you were my manager.


The bank is really putting pressure on me to cut expenses.

What kind of expenses?

They want me to fire some employees.

Who's getting fired?

Some low performers and Kai, Kai is the newest employee but he's well liked. So I'll talk to him to ease the blow.

Hopefully Kai can get another job.


I'm having the feeling to fire some employees.

I hope Kai isn't among the people getting let go.

Sadly Kai is.

Oh, you know she's well liked.

Yeah, but I've decided to talk to her.

That's better.


Context: Quinn made Alex straighten up and did better, thereby turing him around.

Alex needs to straighten up.

How can he do that Quinn?

His posture is bent, I need to talk to him about it before he gets hurt.

I think you might turn his life around with advice like that.


Context: Aubrey painted their house with a mural depicting mountains with a beautiful sunset in the background.

Do you need help painting your house?

Yes I do. Can you help me?

Indeed. Do you have any idea for what background you would like designed?

No, that's the hardest part.

I can help you. I'll paint a mural depicting mountains in the background. It would look great.

That would look amazing. Thanks.


How do you like this mural painting?

I think it's wonderful.

I actually painted it.

You painted all of this? I didn't even know you can do that.

Yeah, I wanted a painting of a landscape with mountains and a beautiful sunset in the background.

You should do something like this for my house.


I'm almost finished with my mural.

How's it coming out?

Really nice actually. I drew some mountains at sunset.

I can't wait to see it.

It'll be ready for my home warming.

I'm sure it will be beautiful.

Did he complete the job?

He slipped and took a big fall to the ground.

Oh no. I'm sorry to hear that.

I called an ambulance. The ambulance arrived swiftly.

I hope that your neighbour gets well soon.


I had a big scare this morning! I was sitting at my porch when I saw my neighbour fall off his ladder.

Oh no! Was he hurt? What did you do?

I am not sure. I called for an ambulance from my cell phone.

He is pretty old already, right? I hope he didn't break any bones.

I'm actually here in the hospital, because I offered to drive his wife here. She is pretty frantic.

That is so nice of you. I'm sure they appreciate all the help you're giving them.


I've just seen my neighbour fall down from the ladder from the second story.

Oh my god maybe you should run over there and help them.

I think they are really hurt.

Call the ambulance then and get them help right away.

That's a good decision.


Context: After Austin stayed out all night drinking again, Sydney read Austin the riot act.

Austin needs to stop drinking all the time and causing this trouble.

I know, he is getting out of hand.

When he got back last night I read him the riot act.

Do you think he will listen this time?

I really hope so.

Me too.


Austin came home at 5 am smelling like whiskey last night.

Where was he?

He was out with his friends, when he got back home he woke me up.

What did you do?

I came down and read him the riot act!

Hopefully he won't do that again.

I am sick of bullies.

Did something happen at school?

Some kids were picking on Jordan.

Did you do anything about it?

I stood up to the bullies as Jordan looked back up at me.

You are his hero.


I got tired of those bullies that were messing with Jordan.

It's so sad that kids can be so mean for no reason.

Our world is very cool at this moment in time.

It seems like it has been a gradual change to get us to where we are right now.

Doesn't help that we have a bully in the White House.

Oh yeah, such a great example for our youth.


Context: Quin was trying to stick to a diet. Riley led Quinn astray.

I was really trying to make sure I didn't eat any junk food.

Just one time won't hurt you and it's just a little bit.

Yes, but I'm on a very strict diet.

You can cheat just today, it won't be the end of the world.

But I am very proud of myself so far for not going off my diet, I even resisted Riley trying to lead me astray.

It's going to be fine, consider it a celebration.


Riley is always buying me cake and chocolates.

What's wrong with that? That sounds good to me.

I'm dieting. I need to lose 10 pounds.

No you don't. Maybe Riley likes you the way you are.

I'm not happy with myself. It doesn't matter what he thinks.

Just try to exercise so you burn more calories. You can also freeze some of the cakes and chocolate and take a little at a time.


Context: Austin found bunches of leaves in their yard and was frustrated that the long was unfinished.

This is frustrating.

What's that?

The boy next door was supposed to rake all the leaves and now look at the lawn.

I see lots of leaves, but maybe they fell last night.

No, the trees were bare.

I guess you need to find a different person to rake your lawn.


I can't believe the yard work wasn't finished

What did they not finish?

There were a bunch of leaves left in the yard

I'm really sorry to hear that. Maybe they can finish the job tomorrow?

That's a great idea! I'll give them a call tonight

Sounds great. I'm sure everything will be great

Well, he has been taunting me about how he'd beat me in the race, and I said lay off or be sorry.

And what happened?

He kept bad mouthing me, so I tripped him and he sprained his ankle.

You've got to be kidding.

It's good that you enjoy their company.

They have been the best host family a boy could hope for.

Wow, do you really mean that?

Of course I do, that's why I said it!

You saved your sister's from having to see her like that, by being the one to find her.


Context: Bailey stopped the press. It had a paper jam.

I had a problem with the printer today.

Did you manage to fix it?

It was just a problem with a paper jam. I had to stop the press.

That printer seems to be acting up recently.

Yeah, but I don't feel like I need to replace it.

Maybe it's just problems that occurred successively by random chance and not a systematic breakdown.


Sorry I'm late, I ran into some trouble in the copy room.

No worries. What happened?

The press got jammed. I swear, this happens at least once a week.

I know, it's super annoying. Did you fix it?

Yeah, but I had to take apart the machine to get the paper out.

Oh wow, that's no fun.


Context: Casey was lying down in their bedroom.  Kai laid down on Casey's side.

Casey was resting on the bed so I laid down next to him.

Where were you guys?

We were at his family's cabin in the mountains. We drove up to take a break from city life.

It must be nice up there.

It's spring now so everything is blooming. It's so green and wildflowers are everywhere.

You are lucky to get away.


Casey, was asleep in the bedroom earlier.

Was she tired?

Yes, the long journey really exhausted her.

I hope she got some sleep.

She did, I joined her too, I was knackered.

I'm glad you guys got some time to rest.


It was so nice just to chill with Casey in bed.

That must've been relaxing.

It was, especially after our busy day.

What did you get up to?

We went for a long hike through the forest, it was great fun but exhuasting.

I bet it was!


Context: The young kids from Alex's neighborhood were protesting police brutality. They were in line to be arrested, but Alex used their unfluence to prevent it.

I can't believe what happened in my neighbourhood the other night.

I hope nothing too bad?

Well some kids were protesting and were almost arrested.

Did they do anything wrong?

No, not at all. I had to step in to stop it.

Well I'm glad you decided to step in and help.


There was a police car down my street last night.

Was there an accident?

No, some kids were protesting police brutality and almost got arrested.

That sounds awful, did they end up getting arrested?

No, I used my influence as an retired police officer to prevent it.


Those officers can't arrest these kids!

Why not they are protesters and it is against the law to protest on a main road like this?

Well, they have constitutional rights to protests. It's their country.

That is true actually, you should go and inform those police officers.

I have, I am hoping my influence will prevent them from being arrested.

Good luck with that.


Context: Jan was an active lady who like to play games in the schoolyard after school. One time they were playing hopscotch and Jan twisted their ankle badly.

Oh it hurts! My ankle!

That was a bad fall! You know, I think your new shoes are too slippery.

I love these shoes.

They're nice, just maybe not for hopscotch.

I suppose. Maybe I'm just too old for schoolyard games at this point.

Games are for all ages. Don't do that to yourself.


Ouch! I think I twisted my ankle!

Oh no! Does it hurt badly? Can you move it?

Not really, it hurts when I try to put weight on it.

Okay, stay right there and don't move, let me go get the teacher.

Okay thank you, but please hurry.

I will, don't move! I'll be right back.


I don't think I'm going to be able to put any weight on this leg for months.

What happened? Your foot is all swollen.

I was playing hopscotch at the schoolyard and injured myself. I landed on the foot the wrong way and twisted the ankle.

At least nothing's broken.


I sprained my ankle yesterday.

I can see you're limping, what happened?

I was playing hopscotch in the playground after school and caught the edge of my shoe.

Ouch, how does it feel?

It still hurts and what's worse as much as I like to play, now I can't.

You'll just have to give it time.

It was, there were a lot of dancers, but I've been practicing and I am so proud it all that work paid off.

You should be proud, winning first place is a big deal.


Whew I am so glad that it over with.

What are you talking about?

I just got done with a dance competition where I won first place. I am very proud that I won. Do you want to see my trophy?

Sure. I'm so happy for you.

I am going to place the trophy on my mantle so that everyone can see it.

That's a good place for it Ash.


I am so happy that I won the dance competition Saturday, I was so happy when they called my name!

I bet you were, you worked so hard for that title.

I sure did, I have really never felt prouder than I did at that moment.

Yay! You deserve that feeling, you did a great job!

It was worth the blood, sweat, and tears for sure.

Congratulations!


You'll never guess what. I won first place at a dance competition.

Wow. That's awesome.

Yes, I was really proud of myself. Even though I had that injury a couple of weeks ago, I still won.

You should be proud. Did you win a trophy?

A really big one. It will go right on the bookshelf.

That's a good place for it. It will remind you of how your hard work paid off.

That was wild. I never imagined in my life that I'd ever have the cops at my house.

Is everyone okay? Was there any damage?

Well, yeah! Windows were broken and some other damage to the house was done.

I saw the cops take away the man you had over earlier.

It was him. I can't believe what he did and the cops learned about it from our neighbour who I had talked to earlier in the day.

I hope everything is okay.


Some whacky neighbour was messing around with some explosives in their basement. The whole neighbourhood shook and I told the police that I suspect it was the dude next door.

Damn, that's crazy. Was there any damage to your house?

No, but it woke me up out of a sound sleep! I was so angry!

Well, do you have lots of shady people like that in your neighbourhood? Maybe you should move.

I don't really talk to many of my other neighbours, that guy seemed kind of off though.

Glad everyone is okay. Explosives are no joke! You never know these days, your neighbour also might have automatic weapons and have intent to use them!


Context: Jan was missing her boyfriend and thought of him often. Images of Quinn came to Jan's mind quickly.

I hope Jan still thinks about me.

I am sure she is missing you like crazy!

I has been ages since we last saw each other, keeping up this long distance relationship is tough but it will be worth it.

When will you two see each other again?

I get to see Jan again next month, I can't wait.

You must both be very excited.


Jan won't stop texting me about how she misses me.

I thought you guys broke up a while ago?

We did. But she still hasn't gotten over it.

That's sad to hear.

She keeps telling me how images of me comes to her mind.

Maybe she should go see a psychiatrist or something.

Oh wow. A successful Matchmaker huh?

It's my second match to be successful.

Are you going to keep setting people up?

Why not? This couple was very grateful, they said so.

Then you probably should keep setting people up.

Yes, I got it fixed for him since he was broke.

That is awesome, he is lucky to have you as a friend.

I try but really it worked out for me too since we basically share the car.

That is true, let's go for that ride.


What happened to Ash's car?

It broke down. I think that it is in need of a new battery.

I know a place that can install a battery today.

I think Ash is struggling with money to pay for the battery.

Tell Ash not to worry. I will pay for it. Ash can pay me back later.

Wow that is very generous of you.


I had to pay to get Ash's car fixed.

Why didn't he pay it himself.

He didn't have any money.

He really needs to get a job.

I know. I'm sick of it.

He's just too lazy. You deserve better.


You know Ash who I went to college with?

Yeah, nice guy, seems down on his luck lately.

Yeah, he's having a rough time, and his car just broke down.

That's tough, hard to go to job interviews with no car.

I know, and he has no money right now, so I paid to get his car fixed.

You're a good person for doing that, Ash is lucky to have you for a friend.


Context: Skylar made Addison carry out an experiment in the lab that involved feeding mice some old cheese.

Well they are lab rats. Don't worry about it.

I feel bad giving them this old cheese but Skylar is making me do it. It's going to kill them.

Well, just take notes, its part of your project.

Okay, I prefer the nuclear tests at Dexter's Laboratory.

I hear. You can development giant mice in his lab.


Context: In the FBI interrogation room, Remy answered her questions about the perp.

There are a lot of pieces of information I have in regards to the perpetrator.

There are so many questions I have to ask you about the situation.

There are a lot I can answer. I know everything about that persons hair colour, their height and what they look like.

I will most definitely need your help in regards to catching the criminal.

I am all here and you have my full attention.

That's good to know.


You know I was a witness to a crime.

What happened with that?

I was questioned by the FBI.

You're kidding, how was that?

Two people grilled me in a small room for about an hour.

Sounds like they thought you were the perp.


I was nervous in the interrogation room.

You did well though.

I hope I answered all of the questions the FBI had for me.

As long as you told everything you knew, there will be no problem.

I sure did.

You have nothing to worry about then.

That sounds amazing! I am grateful that one of us here knows how to cook!

Right, you guys would starve without me.

I would be at McDonalds every day!


It was actually nice to get some help from Jordan in the kitchen.

What did he help you cook?

He didn't really help me cook. I just asked him to fetch the butter, bread, cheese, and a frying pan.

What did he do the rest of the time?

Eating after I finished cooking.

If that's the case, I'll help you in the kitchen next time.

Good, hope nothing breaks in the upcoming weeks.


I am having trouble putting together this table set.

What is so difficult about it?

I'm not sure, but I know that I'm following the directions.

What is going on then? Just having trouble following through?

Yea, I am following everything, but can't seem to work it out.

Oh no! I'm confident that you'll be able to put it together though.

Now you won't have to drive him too all his activities either.

Weren't you?

Not really I was tired, but I had ignored them all week cause work was so busy so I knew they would appreciate me coming along to it.

You're a good friend for going, I bet they were happy you were there.


I'm really sorry I was so busy this week. I feel like I ignored you guys.

Well, we sort of understood, but I'm glad you realized it.

I was just so stressed about the new project.

I understand, but you may want to talk to the others a bit more.

I will. I will apologize, too. I will try not to get so caught up in the projects.

Good idea. Maybe we could help.


I ignored my friends all week because I was super busy and can't be distracted. I went to a party and saw them this weekend.

Were they mad at you?

Initially but after I told them I was just too busy it's not like I don't like them, they were fine.

They understand you are under a lot of pressure at work.

I work very closely with the CEO, so that's added pressure.

You can't slack off.


Context: Robin took their date the the movies and then to dinner and they both had a great time.

I just got back from my 1st date with a girl I found on Tinder.

We went to the movies to watch a romance film and later went on to a fancy dinner place. We both had a wonderful time.

I did and got it wrong, and I studied hard too, I really needed to get an A on this exam to pull my grade up.

Don't worry, I'll help you study for the next exam so you do better.


Context: Bailey took Kendall's girlfriend out to dinner even though Kendall didn't know it at the time.

I can't believe Bailey took my girlfriend out to dinner.

I want to say I can't believe it but then I'd be lying.

Because I wouldn't be telling the truth.

Little white lies are bad too though.

They can lead to bad things.

What happened?

He took out my girlfriend and never let me know.

Was she your girlfriend at the time?

No, it was a little before we started dating.

I'm down for it, she deserves it more than anyone!


I'm going to call Quinn tonight.

Why do you need to talk to her so much? I saw the two of you whispering all afternoon together.

I had to pull her aside to talk about the surprise party we're planning together for a mutual friend.

What kind of party is it?

It's a birthday party for our college roommate. You'd be welcome to attend, of course.

Well, it's kind of you to have extended the invitation.

Were you able to get some work done?

Yes, but I was also actually able to meet new people.

That's great. It's always nice to make new friends.

I don't know about new friends. But some of them will definitely be helpful for new business deals.

I think I realize why I'm one of your only friends.


The business meeting went well!

Did you meet any new people?

Yes, quite a few that were interested in the product.

Maybe with meeting them, they will tell their friends and we will get more orders.

Oh so they were all professionals?

Yes I met people from loads of different industries!

Wow! Could we help with your business?

Sure, but you can't be lazy.

We'll work extra hard for you Tracy. We want to retire early too. So we can take it easy.


I am pleased to announced that I launched my business yesterday.

I already got a loan from the bank and the place should be open within a month.

Good luck with that.


Context: Jan went home and changed. But she had to wait until her work was completed.

I'm finally able to be on vacation.

I thought you left work already?

I did, but I wasn't able to be done until the project was finished.

So your part was done, and you were waiting on everybody else?

That's correct, so I was able to leave early because of that.

Enjoy your vacation and travel safely.


I spilled ink on my new pants.

Were you able to wash it out?

Yeah, eventually, but I was going out after work so I had to go home and change.

You left work to go home and change clothes?

Yes, but I waited until I finished my work and skipped my lunch break so I could go home a half an hour early.

That was smart. So you can still make it to your after-work event on time.


I was almost late for the party the other night!

Why, did you have to work late?

Well, yeah. I had to complete my work before I left. Then I had to go home and change.

Well, at least you made it there.

I was glad when I finally got there and had a chance to chill out.

Sounds like you had a busy day!

Good for you. Is it a lot?

Yes but I was able to get what I need each semester so it'll take a while but I will get them all done.

That's great. How far in advance do they post classes?

The professor told me what's coming next year so I could plan it.

That's good luck. You know what's coming.


I'm trying to graduate this semester.

Your class schedule must be full then.

In order to graduate I had to make a full schedule and have no room at all for anything else.

To get what we want we have to sacrifice at times.

Exactly, and I'm making a social one.

It will be all worth it in the end Skylar.


I finally figured out my schedule for the next two years of school.

Two years, your just a sophomore, you don't need to plan that far ahead.

I do for my double major. I need fifty credits for each, and they don't over lap much.

That's a lot of credits to have to take.

I know, and I still need to get all the rest of the interdisciplinary classes done too, but with this schedule I can do it all and graduate on time.

I guess I should sit down and figure out my schedule too and make sure I am on track with my classes and credits.


Context: Jordan ate healthy food.  They cooked their own food at home.

I have decided eat healthy food for sometime now and that's what I just ate.

That's really nice, I always fail, I need more discipline.

I get you, it took a lot of dedication for me as well.

Another thing is I don't know where to buy healthy meals.

No, I don't buy meals, I always cook my food at home, that way you are sure what you are eating is really healthy. I can share recipes with you, if you like?

I would like that very much.


Do you want to come over for lunch?

Why don't we go out for lunch?

I like to cook my own food. It's much healthier.

What are you making?

Fruit salad and veggie pizza. Are you interested?

Make that veggie pizza a pepperoni and sausage pizza and I'll be right there!


Hey do you want to come over for dinner?

No thanks, you always eat that healthy stuff and it never looks good to me.

Come on, you might like I.t

Yeah, why do you look so beat?

I've been walking my dog all around the neighbourhood in dozens of circles, waiting for it to go to the bathroom, and that's tired me out.

Why won't it go to the bathroom?

The doctor said that my dog is suffering from some kind of trauma and that's probably the root cause.

I never knew dogs could suffer from trauma.


Context: Sasha and Lee are best friends in college and their parents like to get together for Sunday lunch with them. One day Sasha asked if Lee's mom would help with a surprise for Lee.

I had to wait until Sam went to the bathroom to ask his mother for help.

I know. I wondered how you were going to ask her to help with the surprise.

We had just ordered our food when he went to the restroom.

What did his mom say?

She said she would be happy to help me surprise Sam.

Good. Having her shop and pick up stuff for the party will make it less suspicious.


You know Lee is my best friend in college?

Yes! I remember Lee.

Our parents like to get together for Sunday lunch with them.

That will be so fun! They will get to know each other better.

I even asked Lee's mom to help with a surprise for Lee.

Lee would love that.


Lee and I had lunch with Lee's folks again yesterday afternoon.

It's great that you all get along!

Yeah, they're really great. I want to put together a little surprise party for Lee's birthday next month.

Great! It'll be fun to see Lee's reaction!

Did you know Riley and I were friends?

How come you don't talk anymore?

I can't be friends with someone who stole my man.

Did she actually do that?

Yes. Her current husband and I dated right before they got married.

That is a sleazy thing to do to a friend.


I don't know if I can ever be friends with Riley again.

It seems like she wants to be friends with you again.

Do you know how awkward it would be, being around her and my ex.

Not only your ex. Your ex that she stole from you.

Exactly. I don't think we can be friends again.

You know she is going to call you petty, right?

I used some cheese and caught it easily.

I am glad you caught it, now you can relax!


You know that mouse I keep seeing at random times running around my house?

Yeah, you told me about it. What happened?

Well, I kept seeing little rat poos everywhere and yesterday I heard a gnawing sound coming from the kitchen cabinet.

Did you set a trap or anything?

No! That's totally inhumane! I managed to lure him out with some cheese and release him back outside!

Sorry. You love animals a lot more than me. I forgot. Hope the little guy is safe now.


Wow, I thought we had a ghost. I was hearing noises all week. It freaked me out.

That is freaky. What was it?

It was a stupid mouse. I found droppings all over the place.

Did you whack it? They are nasty little things.

No, that is cruel. I just put some cheese down and trapped it. Then I drove to the fields near the school and dumped him there.

Oh great. Now it will get into the school's lunch room. Nice going Tracy!


What is that sound I am hearing?

What sound are you talking about?

You don't hear that? I am hearing something eating.

Okay go check what it is.

Okay maybe it is a mouse, let me put some cheese here.

It worked! There is the mouse.

Well turn it to the left then!

Okay, that worked. Thanks.

I was feeling really down and I just couldn't shake it, so I decided to see a counsellor.

I'm sorry to hear you were feeling so bad, but I'm glad you did something about it. Did it help?

Absolutely. Just talking to someone who was totally unbiased was a big help.

Did you just seem them once or will you be going regularly?

I'm going to go for at least the next six weeks, and then we'll decide together what the next steps are.

Just remember, I'm here if you ever want to talk to someone else as well.


I was starting to feel like everything was piling on more and more. It was too much.

It's so hard not to let the stress get the best of you sometimes.

This was the first time I really felt out of control though and it scared me. My emotions were all over the place.

That's a hard spiral to escape from. You seem okay now though.

I finally called that counsellor that had been recommended to me. It is already making a difference.

See, you just needed a helping hand to guide you, that's all. I'm glad you found it.


I was resistant to counselling at first, but I'm really glad I went.

I heard you were going through some issues.

Yeah, I've been dealing with emotional problems lately and needed help.

You seem a lot less angry now that you've been going to counselling.

I feel the same way.

That's nice of them to babysit for you.

They are the best. They help me out all the time.

That's what parents do.


I was so tired the other night, I left my toddler with my Mom and Dad.

Did you bring her over to their house?

I know. It's killing me right now, but if this went on longer, it would have been far worse.

Now you know he's a jerk and you can move on before it's too late.

Yeah, but I'm heartbroken right now.

Don't let a jerk make you feel that way. It's not you. You're the bigger person here. He's a cheater.


I can't believe he cheated on me!

That's horrible, how long were you guys dating?

A year, I never thought he'd do something like this.

I'm so sorry, he seemed like a good person.

Well, I thought so too.

Better to learn sooner rather than later I suppose.

That's a good place to start.


The kids loved the museum. They learned so much there.

That sounds like a fun trip. Did you explain the museum pieces to them?

Oh, I hope they were purposely interactive

Sounds good to me, let me know what you make.


I was going to make us some steaks for the game later but just checked the fridge and we don't have any.

Yeah I think Jim cooked steaks the other day.

I guess I'll have to run to the store.

Better be fast, the game starts in a couple hours.

Definitely, you want the regular type?

Nah, get something special this time, you owe me.


Context: Cameron want to go to the museum opening but had no money for the admittance.  Carson paid for Cameron's visit.

I'm glad that I have a good friend like Carson.

What did he do?

He paid for me to get into the museum.

You were running short on cash?

Yeah I didn't have any on me as I was broke.

Carson has always been a very nice person so it doesn't surprise me.


I want to go to the museum.

It is the opening of the museum right?

I had no money for the admittance.

Don't worry, Carson paid for your visit.

He did? Why is that?

Just thank Carson, Okay?


I went to the museum opening the other day.

I thought you were broke?

I am. But Carson paid my way. I'm a starving artist.

I guess that makes Carson a patron of the arts.

Context: carson had a crush on taylor and wanted to seduce him so she invited taylor to her house.

I asked Taylor to visit my house yesterday to talk to her.

That's nice, what did you want to talk with her about?

I have been keeping something a secret and finally wanted to let it out.

What was the secret?

That I have had a crush on Taylor!

That is exciting!


I was thinking about inviting Taylor over for dinner this Friday.

I didn't know that you had a crush on Taylor!

Really? You never noticed how I become a puddle of mush around her?

I never noticed! What are you planning to do if she agrees to come over?

I think I will order out from a nice Italian restaurant. I know one of Taylor's favourite movies is The Notebook so we will watch that movie too.

I think Taylor would love that. Good luck!

Of course we can, anytime.

I'll send you a text when I have time.


Context: Jordan did not want anyone to see her results so she pushed the envelope away from Skylar.

Skylar is keeping secrets from me and everyone else.

What does she have to hide?

She took her SAT exam last month and got the results in the mail today.

I guess she didn't want to share.

She was determined to keep the results a secret and pushed the envelope with the grade away from me.

Wait until she falls asleep and sneak into her room.


I just got my results back. I don't want anyone to see them.

Is it that bad?

That's not it. I just value my privacy. I had to push the envelope away from Skylar.

Why is she always so nosy?

I don't know what her problem is. The results are none of her business.

I just wish more people would learn to mind their business.


Context: Addison heard about the multi car pileup on the freeway and worried until she found her family at home safe.

I heard about that big, multi car wreck on the freeway this afternoon when I knew that Rob and the kids were supposed to be in that area.

Gosh, you must've been worried, huh?

Definitely. My heart was in my throat all the way home from work.

Did you try to call him?

Yeah, but he didn't answer. I was so relieved when I pulled into the driveway and found them all safe at home.

That must've been the biggest relief. I'm glad everything was okay.


Oh no I need to call my mom now!

What is it, were they supposed to be driving there?

Yeah, they were coming home that way, so many cars involved.

I'm sure they are ok.

I hope so, she just texted me, they stayed later and missed that horrible accident.

That is great news.


Oh I was so worried about you guys! Did you hear about the pileup on the freeway?

We did! It backed traffic up for like 30 minutes.

Oh is that why you were home so late,

Yes we couldn't get around it.

Well I'm just glad you guys are safe. I was so scared

You should have called!


Context: Aubrey wanted to know the price of the specials, so Aubrey asked the waitress a question.

I'm so excited to eat dinner here!!

Me too! I've heard they have really good food here.

Do you know what the prices of the specials are here?

No but I would like to as well. Let me ask the waitress.

Thank you!

The waitress said they are 10.99. Are you ready to order?


I wonder what the specials are here.

I am not sure, maybe you should ask a staff member.

Should I go up to the bar or wait for a waitress to come around?

I would say just to wait for a waitress, I still don't know what I would like to order.

Me either, that's why I want to know the specials menu.

That makes sense.


Context: Calming down after their argument, Skylar gave Carson a peace sign as an apology.

I had an argument with Carson the other night and gave him a peace sign as an apology after calming down.

A peace sign? Seriously?

I know it sounds weird.

I get it. It depends on the situation.

Exactly. It was the right thing to do at the moment.

I understand. Sounds like you guys made up, so you obviously did the right thing.


Carson and I had another big argument yesterday.

What was it about?

Just some silly little things that got out of hand.

You two seemed okay this morning, did you manage to make up?

Yes I calmed down and gave Carson a peace sign as an apology.

Well done for apologising.


Context: Lee played Austin at a game and Austin got a home run and that won the game.

I played baseball with Austin this afternoon. He scored a home run at the end and won the game.

How do you feel about that?

I had a great time. Austin is clearly a better and more competitive athlete than me.

Isn't he on the school team?

Yes he is. He's being recruited by colleges too.

He must be great at it then.


Austin ended up kicking my butt at the game last night.

He was on point, he has been practicing a lot more than normal.

I knew that when he hit that ball, it was going to be a homerun.

You tried your best to strike him out.

I am going to have to step up my game to win next week against him.

You just need to practice more, like he has been doing.


I'm happy for Austin, but I can't believe we lost.

So Austin's team won?

Yeah, and he got a home run.

Did the home run win the game?

Yeah, it was his home run that made us lose the game.

Seems kind of bittersweet.


Austin has been playing so well lately. You should have seen him.

I wish I had. I love watching you guys play.

Yes, his home run just happened to win the game for them.

Wow. That's impressive. He must have been thrilled.

He was. So was his team. They carried him out on their shoulders.

Classic. I'm happy for Austin. And don't worry, you'll get them next time.
