Context: It was Tracy's birthday and her friends threw her a surprise party, Tracy opened their gifts.

I thought everyone forgot about my birthday.

When was your birthday?

It was yesterday and my friends threw me a surprise party.

I'm sorry they didn't include me in their plans.

You really missed a nice time, and I was able to open their gifts.

I'm sorry I missed it.


I can't believe my friends threw me a surprise party!

I thought for sure you'd find out.

I had no idea. They all gave me great gifts too.

They said they all tried to get you things you could use this summer.

I'll be able to use all of these for my big vacation this year.

I'm happy you were surprised.


I was so surprised all my friends threw me a party!

What was the surprise party for?

It was my birthday and they all got me gifts.

That is so exciting, did you like your gifts?

Yes, I even got this blue shirt, it is so cute.


Context: Addison wanted to print the images he found online but realized his printer was not plugged in.

I was trying to print some pictures last night of the moon.

Were you able to get them printed.

Yeah, but it took me about 30 minutes, just to find out the printer was not plugged in!

When it doesn't print always check the plug first.


It took me forever to realize why I couldn't print the images.

What did you find? I hope you don't need a new computer.

Nothing like that. Can you believe my printer was unplugged the whole time?

I've done that too. I get all excited thinking it's something major and it was the power.

Well luckily it was nothing major. I can't afford a new computer.

I'll be you'll check the plugs first from now on.


Context: Remy checked the weather forecast and found out that it would be rainy during the planned birthday picnic.

I might need to reschedule the birthday picnic.

What's wrong with the day and time?

The weather forecast said that it will be raining.

Oh, that's not good weather for a picnic.

Yeah, so I want to change it.

That would probably be best.


Guess what, it is supposed to rain half an hour after the birthday party starts.

Do we have anywhere we can go to inside?

No, we decided to do this in a park so we don't have a backup plan.

If it rains the kids are going to be so disappointed.

I think we need to figure out a backup plan and fast.

I can call the bowling alley and see if they have room for a party in case it rains.


Context: After hearing about a concert they wanted to go to, Robin bought a ticket.

I got a ticket for Friday.

Awesome I didn't think you liked that band.

I do, but I really like their opening act too.

Yeah those guys are awesome!

Do you think I can get a ride with you guys?

Of course! We're going to hit the bar up first too.


Context: During the dance class, the teacher Allison directed Jesse's hands on their hips.

I have a great student in class his name is Jesse.

Is he a great dancer?

He learns fast, I still have to direct his hands.

Oh, I see, well dancing is challenging.

It is but I love to teach others.

Can you teach me sometime?


My dance teacher placed Jesse's hands on his hips during dance class.

I love it when teachers do that.

Ms. Adams wanted me to have the correct posture.

It's all in the details.

I've really learned to appreciate movement since I started dancing.

Ms. Adams is one the best teachers.


Jesse and I are having a lot of fun in dance class.

What kind of dances are you guys learning?

The teacher Allison directed our hands on our hips and did some sultry moves.

That sounds really interesting.

Hopefully we can have a full set to show off soon.

I would love to watch that.


Context: Sasha had the flu for two weeks. It was finally time to Sasha to get back to work.

I am going back to work today.

How long has it been?

I've had the flu for two weeks.

Do you think you're ready?

I'll have to be. I can't miss anymore work.

You should make sure you're ready, work or no work.


I'm so happy to get over this flu.

How long has it been?

It's been two weeks!

That's quite a long time for the flu, what are you doing now?

I'm preparing to go back to work.

I'm not sure that's better than the flu!


This flu has been killing me. I thought I was going to die.

That sucks, Sasha. My cousin had the same bug that's been going around. It's brutal!

I had it for two whole weeks! I couldn't breathe or sleep. I missed work that entire time, too.

Are you going back now?

Yes, I'm slated to go back to work tomorrow. It's about time!

Hopefully you can get some overtime pay to make up for the missed time.


I am so happy to be able to work again.

I bet, you were really sick for a while.

I am glad I have been cleared by my doctor to work again.

You can't be too safe these days with all the diseases.

You are right, I am glad I waited a full two weeks to go back.


I'm finally feeling a little better!

So will you go back to work?

Yeah, as soon as I get a doctor's note letting me return to work.

How long were you sick?

For two weeks!

Wow, that sounds awful.


Context: kendall was married two times already, and had two kids.

Yea I have been married twice and I have two wonderful kids.

I'm sorry that you had to go through a divorce but at least you have two amazing kids.

Yes, I can't imagine how wonderful they are.

I know they are almost perfect angels.


I feel like a failure in my personal life.

Why would you say that?

I have very bad luck in relationships, I’ve already been married twice.

You are not the first person to experience two bad marriages.

Yes, but I feel like I am cursed and will never find true love.

No, there is someone special out there for you Kendall.


I just can't find a date.  Nobody wants to date a divorced mother of two.

There are plenty of people out there that will date single moms.

Yeah but I have been divorced two times.  People look down on me because of that.

You are not looking in the right places.

Maybe you're right. Maybe I should set up an account at Match.com

That sounds like a good idea.  I will help you.


Context: Quinn applied for a job as a waitress at Skylar's restaurant. Skylar couldn't stand the thought of working with a control freak every day, so they told the restaurant's owner that Quinn had a bad attitude.

I really don't feel bad for telling the restaurant owner the truth.

I don't either. Quinn is too much of a control freak to deal with every day.

I really hope she applies for a job somewhere else and finds something.

I'm sure she will unless they know her there too.

Maybe she'll get it and start changing her controlling ways.

One can only hope.


Context: Alex broke her leg in two places and had to have several surgeries to repair it.

I had no idea that I was going to need this many surgeries just to fix a broken leg.

Well, you did break it in two separate spots when you were in the accident.

The worst part is that the doctor said she doesn't know if I will be able to continue to dance.

I am so sorry, I know how much you love to dance!

I guess after multiple surgeries I was hoping for better results.

Don't give up, the doctor didn't say it was impossible and you are a determined person!


So as a result of that wreck I broke my leg in two places!

That's terrible, were they able to fix it?

It took quiet some time, I have had several surgeries to repair the damage

Do you still need more surgery?

Maybe in the future but it seems good for now and the doctors are happy with it

Great, hang in there, it will be back to perfect sooner than you think!


Context: Quinn played with Skylar and the dog in the park because there was nothing else to do.

Quinn took Georgia out to the park yesterday.  There wasn't much else going on.

Did they have fun?

Quinn loves Georgia.  He always brings her treats when he comes over.

I'm sure she loves that.

She's so spoiled. She has lots of toys to play with and treats to eat.

The life of a dog.  It must be good.


I was at the park with Quinn today and the dog.

Did you go to the dog park?

Yes, there wasn't much going on so we decided to take a walk.

It was nice weather out so I am sure the dog appreciated it.

It wound up being a nice way to spend the afternoon actually.

That's great, I'm glad you enjoyed it today.


Did I tell you what I did today?

No, I don't think so. Weren't you down at the park?

Yeah, I met up with Quinn! There was a stray dog running around too. Very friendly! Quinn and I played catch with him.

Oh I bet he loved that! Did the dog have an owner?

Well, probably. But I'm glad the dog came around because it was pretty boring and I didn't have anything else to do today.

Glad you had fun!


Quinn's mom dropped her off at the park since she was bored.

What did you guys do?

We played with dog and played on the monkey bars.

I bet that was fun, and you guys weren't bored anymore.

Yeah it was!


Context: Someone offered Remy a chocolate-covered apple with caramel. Remy decided to try it.

Kevin gave me a chocolate covered caramel apple.

Did you eat it?

I just took a bite out of it, I was saving the rest for you, since they are your favorite.

That is so nice of you!


I've never had any sort of candied apple before

Here take one you're going to love it

You sure? I'm not a big fan of sweets

Oh just try it and see

Waoh you weren't kidding this is delicious

I told you it was! Wait until you try the funnel cake


Context: Cameron and Taylor knew each other from school. Cameron became Taylor's artist.

I hired Cameron to do the artwork for our company.

Really? How do you know him?

I knew him from school. He's a great artist.

I hope he's good for the spot you chose.

He will be a great addition to the team.

I'm glad you already knew him so you can be sure to get someone good.


Check out the painting that's hanging on my bedroom wall.

Wow, that paining is incredible. Did you draw it?

No, my friend Cameron drew it. I hired him to be my artist.

How do you know Cameron?

We met in school and became friends that way.

It looks amazing.


Cameron! It has been so long, how are you?

I am good. I am still working on my art.

You always made the most beautiful paintings!

Yes, I enjoy my craft, unfortunately it doesn't pay much.

I would like to pay you to paint pieces for my gallery.

That would be awesome!


Context: Although Robin wished to remain at the party for a while longer, Kai needed to leave and didn't have a ride so Robin took Kai home.

I can take you home if you need a ride.

Are you sure? you seem to be enjoying yourself.

I am, but you want to leave and aren't having a good time.

You're right, sorry if I make you leave the party but I am not feeling well.

That's ok Kai.

Thank you.


I had to leave the party early.

Why didn't you stay longer?

Kai wanted to leave.

Oh, so you gave him a ride?

Yea, he needed to be home so I left and took him.

That's very nice of you.


I can take you Kai

That's ok, I know you want to stay

I do, but you really need a ride

Well ok thanks

I'm not gonna leave you stranded at some party

You're a good friend Robin, I really appreciate it.


Context: Cameron was a server and it was a slow day. Cameron hadn't made anything.

This is awful where is everyone?

I know its such a nice day

Usually the restaurant is packed by now, I need to make some money

Wait what is today?

Its the 9th

Oh they are having that parade today for the Football team


I'm having such a bad day serving

Haven't made any tips yet?

Such a slow day because no one is coming.

You could always work overtime if you need it

That's a good idea


It was so slow today. I haven't made any tips.

You mean no one came into the restaurant where you worked?

It's horrible being a server.  I rely on my tips so much because I get paid like nothing.

Have you thought about finding another job?

I really need to find something that pays more.

You should.


Context: Austin saw Bailey sitting there grinning at him. Austin grinned back at Bailey.

I saw Bailey and she smiled at me, I felt so alive at that moment.

Do you really think she likes you back?

I don't know why else she would smile at me like that.

Maybe she was just being friendly?

I don't know, I think I saw her blush a little.

Well maybe next time go talk to her instead of staring at her.


Bailey was sitting across from me at the game, and she was smiling at me.

Do you think she likes you? What did you do?

Well, I smiled back. I think he's pretty cool.

You should go talk to him and get to know him.

I think I'll wait until after the game so I don't interrupt it for.

That's a good idea. You can get him alone for a second then.


What are you so happy about?

I'm not sure.  Maybe I'm happy about tonight?

What should we do?

I think we should go eat and then hit up a concert or a party.

That sounds fun.  I'm game!

Awesome!  Let's go do this!


I am having a really good dinner, but I don't know what is going on.

What do you mean by that?

Well this person over there grinning at me, and I have no idea why.

Yeah, that person is giving you quite a grin.

I know, I am going to just grin back at him until he stops.

That's a good idea to just do that.


Context: Bailey had been living out west for a few years and he still got homesick often, so he called his sibling back home.

I have missed you a lot.

We missed you too, its been a couple of years but still.

I know right, it's hard living far away from you guys.

You should come visit soon.

I will I feel really homesick, I guess that would help me.

The family will be happy to have you here.


How is everything on the east coast?

The weather has been beautiful here. How's is it on the west coast?

I miss everyone there. It's been years.

You need to come back home for a visit.

When I have time. How's the family?

We all miss you and would love to see you.


Context: Jan was getting their blood pressure checked. They fell in the range of being healthy.

I feel so relieved today!!

Why is that?

Well, my family has a history of heart disease and I had a check up today.

I'm assuming you don't have any heart problems?

Not at all, my blood pressure was a totally healthy range.

Yeah, well you do eat healthy and work out a lot!


My blood pressure was checked out okay.

That's good. It's important to keep those numbers at a good level.

Yeah, I'm definitely in the healthy range. So that's nice to know.

Everything else checked out okay, too?

Oh yeah, everything is fine. Nice to know.

Sure is. Being healthy is the most important thing.


I know it sounds dumb, but I got my blood pressure checked today. It's completely normal, and the Doc says I'm in a healthy range.

Oh, that's great! Was is your yearly check up?

No. I just wanted to get checked out because of all this covid stuff. It's making me paranoid.

We all are. If I cough once, I think I have the virus!

Me too, except I was so paranoid, I went to the Doctor!

I get it. I think everyone is paranoid right now. Nothing to be ashamed of!


I finally got some good news at the doctor's office! My blood pressure is under control.

I'm glad to hear that. I was really worried about you.

What made you so worried?

High blood pressure is really bad for your heart. It's really dangerous.

My doctor pretty much said the same thing.

Whatever you've been doing to get healthy, keep up the good work!


Context: Skylar worked so hard that week that she had to take a break and spend the next week relaxing.

I had to take the week off to relax.

Why? Have you been working too hard?

Yes. I worked 65 hours the week before.

Wow! That's a lot. Do you feel better now?

Yeah. I feel much better. I needed to rest.

That's good.


I need a break I have been doing way too much at work .

Weren't you working 80 hours last week?

Yes, crazy right? I think I will take next week off.

You should! You definitely need a rest.


I'm so tired from putting in so many hours this week

Would you like to go get a massage from the new place in town

That would be amazing and I could relax a little

We could drink some wine before we go and I think we would have a really good time

That sounds like a great idea.


Context: Kai has to give a presentation in their class but Kai was not prepared.  Therefore, Kai makes things up as they go along.

I should have studied more.

Why, what happened?

I wasn't prepared to give a presentation

What did you do then?

I just made stuff up along the way.

It sounded okay though, maybe it will work out.


Context: Sasha's birthday was coming up and she was so glad that at her new school Sasha made many friends.

My birthday is in a few days, I am so excited.

And we are excited for you even though we only know us for a couple of weeks.

Your words make me feel really happy.

I will throw a party for you, just wait.

That is so kind of you, I'm glad I came to this school.

And we are glad to have you here, you are a great friend.


I'm so glad that I made so many friends at my new school.

That's good to hear.

It is. With my birthday coming up, I can invite them all.

That's great that you're going to have a lot of people at your party.

Definitely. I can't wait!.

I'm sure it'll be great.


My birthday is next week. I think I'm going to have a skate party.

A skate party is pretty cool. But you just moved in town. Will anyone come?

Yeah. I'm a senior so a lot of people will still come. I made lots of friends already.

So that's good for you. At least you weren't a freshman.

Yeah then I might not have any friends.

And you'd be skating alone.


Context: Quinn was accompanied by Sydney's wife to the theatre. Their husbands were friends but it was their first time hanging out. They had a great time.

I ended up going to see a movie with Sydney's wife in the theatre, it was fun.

Yeah she is really a great person isn't she?

Definitely, I love the way she talks about things.

Her and her husband are a great couple.

I really want to invite them to go do something with us next week as well.

I'm sure you'll have a great time.


Wow Sarah I'm surprised we never hung out before

I know and our boys are such great friends

We should definitely do something together soon

I think that would be great

I know a great cafe on the east side, want to meet Sunday?

Sure what time?


Context: Taylor attended their father's birthday party so that their father would feel that they were loved.

Sorry I couldn't make it to the game night!

It's okay, did something come up?

Yeah, my mom was throwing a birthday party for my dad. He's been feeling down lately so I wanted to show up and let him know I still care about him.

Aw, that's so nice of you. Was it fun?

Yeah, we watched some old home movies and my aunt baked an amazing cake.

Sounds like a nice time. Say hi to your dad for me next time.


Hey would you like to ride back home with me for the weekend?

All the way to your hometown? Why are you going all the way back there?

It's my father's birthday. It's his 75th and I really want him to be happy.

Yeah I know what you mean. People often feel neglected and lonely as they get older.

I want to bring him some of the pears I picked last weekend.

Sure, I'll tag along It will be good to see your father again. I know he'll be happy to see us.


Context: Aubrey and Riley forged an alliance, but Aubrey had made other alliances with Riley's enemies and didn't intend to honor this alliance.

Aubrey and I forged an alliance, but Aubrey made other alliances with my enemies and that's a problem.  Aubrey isn't loyal and didn't intend to honor our alliance.

You mean Aubrey screwed you over?

To be honest, yes.

That's horrible.  She's been your friend for years.

I can't trust her anymore.

People change.


I thought Aubrey and I had made an alliance, but they can't be trusted.

I thought Aubrey was a good guy. What happened?

He went and made an alliance with my enemies!

Maybe he was planning on being a double agent. Did you ask him?

Yeah, I asked. He was being a double agent for them, and never meant to honor our agreement.

That's a pretty horrible thing to do. I wouldn't trust him anymore either.


Guess what I found out about Aubrey?

You guys have an alliance, right?

Yes, but she's made other alliances with my enemies.

Whoa, does she intend to honor your alliance?

I don't think she ever intended to honor it.

I never expected that.


Context: While others were fairly sure of their decision, Aubrey's idea caused a shadow of doubt in their mind.

I thought my idea was pretty great.

Wasn't it good?

It was but others had some doubt in their mind.

What about other people's ideas?

They were sure about their decision, but not sure about my idea.


I know I'm right and I know that everyone else is mistaken, but I think that everybody else believes I'm wrong.

About what?  What are you sure you're right about?

The Earth is flat.  The entire idea of a "round" Earth is just stupid.  Don't you think?

Ummm....well...I have heard of the idea of a flat Earth before.

You didn't answer my question, Derrick.  You don't believe that the Earth is round, DO YOU???

Everyone has their own believes!


No one at the board meeting liked my idea, I could tell.

How do you know?

They all asked a lot of hard questions and seemed confused by some parts of it.

Well you told me and I definitely understand your idea for increasing profits.

That is because you aren't an old dinosaur like the people that I work with.

I mean they should understand your plan given that they have worked at this company for longer than yourself.


Don't you guys see that bloodstain over there in the picture?  The defendant couldn't have caused that if he was on the other side of the room.

The defendant is definitely guilty.  They found his fingerprints at the scene!

But it doesn't make sense.  How was he in two places at once?

That blood could have been from a long time ago!  I still think he's guilty!

Nobody would leave a bloodstain on the wall like that.  It has to be new and if it is then there is some reasonable doubt that our defendant didn't do it.

I guess I wasn't really thinking about it that way but I suppose you could be right.


Context: Lee mad Quinn's approach down the ski slopes seem trivial in comparison to his black diamond moves.

Lee was skiing down the black diamond slopes like a pro.  Here I am with the kids learning how to ski.  I felt like my accomplishments were trivial.

I wouldn't make that comparison.

I know I should focus on me and my personal progress.

That's right. As long as you are improving, that's what counts.

Lee has been skiing since he was like four years old.

He basically grew up on the slopes.


I just got off the slope. Did you see what that jerk Lee did to me?

I did. Everyone did! He was a complete show off with his black diamond moves.

What a jerk! I hate that guy! I really want to brain him with my ski pole, the rat.

Calm down. We're here to ski and have fun, not beat Lee up for being a jerk.

Yeah, you're right. I am a good skiier. He can break a leg or two showing off like that.

Let it go. Let's go grab some hot cocoa and relax.


Where did you learn to ski like that

I grew up on the mountain

I mean I thought I had a good run but wow

I got snow in my blood

Seems like it, how did you pull that last trick off?

Years of practice my friend


I could not believe my eyes watching Lee move down the slopes that quickly and efficiently.

How long has he been skiing?

Since he was a little kid I think.

That makes sense, because he was skiing like a professional on that mountain.

I thought I was good but I have only been doing it for 5 years.

I bet Lee could do some competitions and do pretty well.


How do you do that without falling and breaking your whole body?

I've been skiing the black diamond since I was 5 years old.

Well it definitely shows, I thought I did well on the normal ski slope

You did fine, it just takes time and practice that's all.

So how much time until you think I will be doing black diamond moves like you?

Haha, hard to tell, just keep practising!


Context: Remy wanted something quick to eat to curb their hunger. They made a snack.

What should we eat? I'm super hungry, so let's just munch on something quickly.

I mean, we have cheese and crackers. Would that work?

Cheese might upset my stomach. What other options do we have?

We could microwave some hot pockets.

Oh, that sounds great. Let's do it.

OK, I'll throw them in the microwave.


Context: Tracy and Ash were hiding from their children. Tracy talked to Ash under the table so they wouldn't be found.

This pedestal table is a great hiding place. Shhh.

I know, but aren't you afraid they will freak out when they see we are not around.

Well, this should fix their wagon if they think the can do what they want. They are still children.

I know but I don't want to freak them out too much.

Shh...wait, they are doing dishes and putting groceries away, what the heck?

Maybe they are growing up too fast.


Played a big game of hide and seek with Ash and the kids yesterday.

That sounds like a lot of fun!

It was. Ash and I were hiding under the table!!

That's a pretty good hiding place.

They eventually found us, but it took a while. The table has a big base, so we could hide behind that.

Good idea!! I guess they would have found you sooner or later.


Hey Ash, get over here, the kids are coming!

Good idea, they won't notice us under the table.

They'll be here any second now.

I can't believe I couldn't find anywhere to hide.

You've never been the best at hide and seek

Yeah, I guess.


Nobody will find us here.

We should speak quietly otherwise the might hear us.

I agree, do you think we should change hiding spots?

I don't know they might find us.

The room under the stairs might be a good option.

They will definitely find us there let's just stay here, under the table.


I'm hiding from the children.

Okay.

Come on, it'll be fun

Let's hurry up.

What next?

Shut off the power.


Context: Taylor found out Jan had been cheating on him, so he kicked her out.

I'm sorry I was cheating on you but you never gave me attention

I havent showed you attention because my mom has cancer and I have been taking care of her

Why didn't you just tell me that from the beginning

Well, I really didn't want anyone to know because I would have been so sad about it

I understand now but I wish you would have just told me


Context: Cameron got a new puppy for their birthday. Cameron screamed with joy.

I can't believe you bought me a puppy!!!  Yay!

I knew you have been wanting one since Oreo died last spring.

Nothing can take the place of Oreo, but I will hold a special place in my heart for this new puppy.

Oreo will be missed, but I know how happy you would be about this new puppy.

I am so excited! I am going to take him for a walk and show him off.

Sounds like a plan.


Hey I just got a gift for their birthday.

What kind of gift did you get?

I got them a puppy since it was so cute at the store.

Oh nice! What store?

I got the puppy at a local pet shop. I screamed because it was so cute and I was so happy.

That will be the perfect gift for them.


I have always wanted a puppy.

Then head to the store and adopt a pet.

I overheard my parents planning on getting me one on my birthday.

That is awesome.

Oh my gosh! I'm so excited!

I'm so happy for you.


Context: Addison had a sign up sheet for the prom committee. Addison gave Jan the names of the people.

Addison has really been helpful in planning for prom.

What is she working on?

She created a nice list for a sign up sheet, so it really made it easier to organize and make progress.

That was really nice of her to do that for you.

I know! I have been so grateful that she did that because it has saved me so much time!

I hope you get everything sorted out and the result turns out as you pictured it.


So Addison started the sign up sheet for the prom committee.

Oh that's exciting!

I just gave her the names of the people.

Okay cool. Things seem to be moving right along.

Yeah they sure are. I am getting excited.

I am sure you are!


Hey Addison, I was wondering if these were the right names for the prom committee?

Yes, they were the ones on the sign up sheet.

Okay, looks like we have a whole new crew on the committee.

That's great and I think the students really enjoy planning this.

I think it is the most fun part of the senior year.

Let's help them make it a great memory!


Context: In order to get to the front of the line, Sydney pushed Taylor aside.

I was stuck in the back of the line last night while waiting to get tickets at the new theatre.

I hate getting stuck in the back of lines.

Me too!  So I finally decided to just push my way to the front.

Whoah, really?

Yeah, I felt a little bad.  I pushed Taylor but I did get to the front of the line.

I hope you apologized to her.


Context: The coach tossed the ball into the air between the two players and Jesse immediately took the ball.

I am surprised I was able to catch the ball before the other player!

You have been training a lot lately.

Yes, I have been trying very hard to become a better player.

Your work is paying off. You are doing well!

Thank you, it's nice to know it's making a difference!

You're welcome. You should be proud of your hard work.


I think I impressed the coach today.

Oh, was it basketball try outs today?

Yes, I hope I make it in the team.

Well, you have been practicing hard.

I think I did well when I had to jump up and catch the ball.

I'm sure you did great.


I impressed the coach.

Was it your workout or your play?

The coach tossed the ball into the air between me and another player and I immediately took the ball.

He is going to make note of that.

I think I can do it consistently.

That sounds awesome.


Context: taylor pushed sasha's hair back to see how bad the injury was and found that it would need stitches.

Owwww!  What are you doing?

I'm trying to see how bad the gash is on your head!  That sword almost cut your head off!

Well, it hurts, Taylor!  You shouldn't have hit me so hard.

You're the one who said you were a trained Samurai and could block any strike I could make!

So anyways, how bad is it?  Is my brain damaged?

No, silly.  But you're gonna need stitches.  Let me get you to the hospital.


Context: Skylar sold homemade sculptures, and her family and friends bought them to be supportive.  In a week's time all of the sculptures disintegrated into dust.

I'm wondering if I should refund the money all my friends and family gave me for my statues.

Why do you have to refund their money?

They all bought some sculptures from me to be supportive. But the sculptures all disintegrated into dust.

Why don't you just make them more sculptures?

Because I think they would just turn into dust too.

Oh.


I sold all my homemade sculptures I made.

Who bought them?

My family did because they were trying to be supportive.

That was nice of them. How are they liking the sculptures?

Well actually they all disintegrated into dust and I am really ashamed.

Hey you didn't know. I am sure they understand. This will just help you improve your skills.


Context: Jan had worked very hard but despite her best effort she only came in second place.

I should have won

2nd is not bad at all you did great

I've been training for months!

Next time, you did great for your first competition

I could have done better

Don't be so hard on yourself


Context: Kendall had been dieting and exercising for months, and finally met her goal. Kendall lost ten pounds.

Hard work and dedication never fails!

What are you so uppity and motivational about?

Today is the end of month 4, and guess what! I met my weight goal! 135 pounds!

Woah weren't you like 180 when you started?

Yes ma'am I did it intelligently by eating well and exercising 40 minutes a day!

Good job! Maybe I'll start a diet too!


I'm so excited!!!! Guess why?

Tell me!!! I can't wait to hear! Did you win the lottery?

No, not that good, but, all the dieting and exercising I've been doing has paid off!

That's fantastic!!! Tell me more!

I lost ten pounds! I'm so happy!

That's great Kendall! I'm so happy for you! We should exercise together!


I can't believe I lost ten pounds, can you tell?

Oh I can tell for sure that you lost weight.

I am so happy that I reached my goal.

You just look so much healthier. How did you do it?

Dieting and exercising really is all I did.

Well you are such an inspiration.


Context: Jan gave Bailey another chance to try out for the squad since she had been absent due to illness.

Are you still interested in trying out for the squad?

Well yes, but I thought try outs were over.

They are, but you were sick and couldn't make it. I thought we'd make an exception.

I would really appreciate it.

You're welcome. I'd heard only great things about your ability and wanted to find out if you were as good as people say.

I'd be happy to prove that I am. When did you want to schedule the try out?


We gave Bailey another chance to try out for the squad.

That is only fair, since she missed it for a good reason.

We all decided that since she was sick, it was not her fault.

When will she be trying out for the squad?


Context: Riley gripped Ash's hips tightly with his hands and pulled her in for a quick kiss.

Oooh Riley, when did you get so feisty? Pulling me in for a kiss like that. I should accuse you of assault!

And when did you start looking so beautiful Ash?

I've always been hot, you just didn't notice because you always had a girlfriend.

Maybe. But I think I would have noticed you.

So shall we take this party somewhere more intimate?

Sounds good to me! My apartment or yours?


Context: Kai went to the zoo by himself. Kai saw the animals up close.

I had a great time at the zoo the other day.

Did you see some animals?

Yes, I saw some cool animals and was able to get right up close to them.

Did anyone go with you?

No, I went by myself.

I'm glad you had a good time.


I was so bored and no one was around so I took a ride to the zoo.

Kai, I was free today. I was also very bored.

I left you a message. You never replied

Oh okay. aI did house work anyway. How was the zoo?

I was able to convince the zookeeper to let me feed the lions and bears.

Cool how did that go?


I went to the zoo today!

That's awesome. Who did you go with?

Well, plans fell through so I ended up going alone.

Oh, I'm sorry for that.

No, it was worth it. I got to see the lemurs up close.

Oh, nice. They are so cute!


Context: Alex took the dog out.  They forgot to do it this morning.

I just took my dog out. I had forgotten to do it this morning.

I'm glad you remembered to do it now. Did he go in the house or anything?

Thankfully, no, he didn't go. And I'm sure he needed to go out for a while.

Were you busy with something and just forgot?

Yeah, I started doing the laundry, and it just completely slipped my mind.

I see, you just got distracted.


I feel bad I didn't take my dog for a walk this morning.

I bet he was waiting at the door for you just waiting to go for a walk

Yea, he wanted to go as soon as I got home and couldn't wait for me to go

Did you guys have a good time on the walk then

We had a good walk and he went to sleep right when we got home


Context: Alex served under Lee in an apprenticeship that lasted for years until Lee decided they were ready to take the next step.

Today was a good day. One of my apprentices finally advanced in his career.

That's good news! Was it Alex?

Yeah, Alex. He's been working hard for years now. It was a little bleak for a while, especially when his day job started encroaching on his free time. But he never faltered and finally passed my tests!

Great. Will he be performing plumbing tasks on his own now?

Nope. That's the next step after this. Now he'll be able to go on jobs with me and see how things are really done.

Good for him.


I am proud that Alex hung in there with me and is ready for these next steps.

I know Alex is happy and excited too.

Yeah and there isn't anyone I'd rather be on this journey with.

You two work very well together and will do great things.

Alex was the best apprentice I've had in years. He'll be a great master.

He is a nice guy. I'm sure he'll make a great master.


I appreciate all the work you've done with me these past few years.

I appreciate you letting me work with you.

I think you are ready to move on.

You're letting me go?

No, I want to promote you to the next step!

Oh, wow! Thank you!


Context: Wanting to see the country and get out of the city, Carson took a drive.

I've decided to see the whole country.

How? Do you have time for that?

I'm driving it. I'm hoping to buy an rv one day. I'm retired anyway.

Wow...that's quite the adventure.

I'm looking forward to the relaxation and meeting new people.

I may join you on some of your road trips.


It is nice to get away from the smog and into the country.

This is good, I'm glad we drove out here today.

I certainly don't miss the hustle and bustle of the city.

I sure don't either.

I want to see what all the country has to offer.

It is a lot different than the city.


I went for a long drive to see the country and get out of the city.

That'd be a great change.

It really is the best thing. My mind was  at peace.

Sometimes you really need to get away.

I stayed at a farm and milked cows.

Did you grow up on a farm?


I drove by so many farms.

Did you see any cows?

Yep, tons of them.

Where are the pictures?

I can't take a pic while driving.

Aw, I want to see cows!


Context: Cameron slit his thumb on a blade, and then sewed the wound together.

I'm glad I know advanced first aid.

When did you use your first aid skills?

I was cutting something and slit my thumb on the blade.

Was there a big gash?

Not really, but it was bleeding a lot.

That's definitely a time for advanced first aid.


My thumb is one fire right now

What happened to it Cameron, it looks sore

I was cutting up some pieces of timber when the saw slipped and slit my thumb

Ouch! It must have hurt!

It did. But at least I feel better now

Go to a doctor and get it checked right now!


I cannot believe i cut myself trying to dice peppers again.

You need to be more careful man.

Believe me I know, I’m going to run out of bandages before the week is up at this rate.

Did you cut yourself earlier this week?

Yeah I was using a hand dicer for potatoes and did the same thing.

Maybe you aren’t supposed to work in a kitchen.


Context: Sydney found the building on fire and had to call the fire department to put the flames out.

That building was just burning like crazy when we got there.  We had to call the fire department to put out the flames.

Why were you there?

We were invited to a party.  That was the address we were given.

Did the fire department put out the flames?

They did but it was already too late.  The building has already burnt to the ground pretty much.  We just heard that two people died.

That's tragic.


Context: Bailey hated checking the mail, but they were expecting a check, so Bailey finally checked the mail.

I can't wait for my tax refund to come in the mail but I hate going out to check the mail everyday.

Why? I love checking the mail to see what new ads come in and if you're expecting a nice check, that should give you a motivation to check your mail.

The check would be nice but every time I go out there and it's not in my mail box I just get a wave of disappointment that overcomes me.

While that may be depressing, it may make it even better when it finally does arrive.

Yes, but it is taking so long that all the bills I am getting in the mail in the mean time are just going to eat the entire check up.

Yeah, I guess that does suck. Sounds like it is actually taking the excitement away little by little when It doesn't come in the mail day after day.


I wish our driveway wasn't so long.

Why's that?

It makes checking the mail way too difficult.

Why don't you just check it on the way home from work?

I would, but I'm expecting a check and I need the money so I'm checking all the time.

Ah, makes sense.


Context: Sasha liked the meal very much, and gave thanks for all the wonderful flavors filling their mouth.

you can't believe where I went yesterday evening

Where were you Sasha

I was invited by Bob's parents for dinner

wait! the good looking Bob?

yeah! The food was awesome, I loved the flavours, I have to thank them for that sweet food

You are lucky Sasha. He has never invited anyone there


Have you tried the new taco truck?

I only heard about it yesterday. Did you?

I had dinner there yesterday. The food is awesome

Do they have dine-in services?

You just buy the food and enjoy it on a bench under a jacaranda tree. My meal was so tasty, I still thank them when I pass by on my way to the office.

I'm definitely going to try it.


This dinner was so good!

I'm glad to hear that.

It's so rich and complex. It's savory but also delicate. What did you put in it?

The usual salt, pepper, and garlic, and the secret is a bit of ginger.

Oh! That makes sense. It gives it such a nice flavor.

Yeah, I loved this recipe. I'll send it to you!


Context: After failing to socialize because of her preoccupation, Tracy decided to leave the party.

My mind is going crazy thinking about work.

You must have been busy this week.

It has been really busy, I can't think about anything else.

You should try to relax, and hang out with us.

No, I think I should go in case I get a call or email.

Okay, well maybe we can hang out some other time then.


I didn't enjoy myself at his party at all.

Why not? You were really excited about it

All I could think about was my mom having cancer.

You need to relax a little and have some fun.

I know, but I don't feel like socializing with people right now.

I get it, but take care of yourself.


I'm really sorry, but I am so worried that my dog is sick right now and home alone.

I understand that is a scary thing.

I don't even feel like having fun at the party.

Why don't you leave and make sure your dog is ok?

You won't mind? I would like to go.

No that's fine. I hope he gets better.


Context: Robin was getting ready to move and needed to downsize and get rid of a lot of possessions.

The kids are gone and I am alone in this house.

You really don't need four bedrooms.

I am getting ready to move because I need to downsize and get rid of a lot of possessions.

Where will you start?

Do you want any lamps or sofas or beds or tables or kitchen utensils or framed art work or rugs or another dog?

Haha, I will take the dog.


I still have some stuff that I am giving away if you want to stop by and have a look.

Sure thing. I could stop by this afternoon if that works for you!

Yes that would be great. I need to get rid of it all.

Why do you need to get rid of so many things?

I am moving and downsizing so it has to go.

Well I guess then your loss is my gain!


My new house is a lot smaller than I thought, I don't think I can bring all this stuff with me

Oh no, well I will take that sofa off your hands if you would like haha

Seriously that would help me out a lot, I need to downsize before I move in

What about getting a storage unit?

That is a good idea, I will store what I don't want to get rid off

Don't throw anything away without asking me please, I am need of household items


Context: Jesse wanted a new game, but he didn't have enough money to pay for it.

I really want this new game.

Why can't you buy it?

I don't have enough money to buy it.

So what are you going to do?

I think I'm going to ask my mom for some money.

That's a good idea.


I wanted to buy a new game but I was short 30.00

Games are so expansive!

I am going to save the money this week

How

I am going to carry my lunch to work

That is a good way to save money!


Things aren't going too well for me.

Sorry to hear about that. What's bothering you?

I really wanted to buy a new game but I couldn't afford it.

Games are getting pretty expensive these days. I think they go for like $60 these days.

I know but I can't afford the one I want. Maybe I'll wait until it's on sale.

That might be a good idea. I personally try to save every penny I have because it might come in handy some day.


Context: Aubrey showed the broken pots to the children that had been running wild in the kitchen.

I was so mad at the kids today. They were running around the kitchen.

Oh no.

They broke some of the pots because of it.

Oh, that's not good.

So I showed them the pots to really show them why they shouldn't be so rowdy.

I'm sure they didn't mean it.


I showed them the pots they broke

that's a fine lesson for the future

yeah they need to learn that it isn't nice to break things

they run wild way too much

too much sugar in their system

time to cut down


I can't believe them, those pots were so expensive.

They are kids, they don't know any better.

Well now they do, I made them help me clean up the kitchen after.

With all that glass on the floor?

No I meant just wiping the counters and putting away the silverware.

Oh, okay.


Context: Skylar put her daughters mind at ease after she claimed to see a creature in her room.

I'm so tired. Sasha woke me up screaming last night.

Oh no, what happened?!

She thought she saw a monster in her closet.

Oh haha. What did you do?

I turned on the lights and showed her it was just her large stuffed bear.

That's too funny. Better stick to the smaller stuffed animals from now on.


Context: Casey didn't want to try out the experiment for class. Carson conducted Casey's experiment instead.

The experiment I chose wasn't as cool as Casey's. His was just so exciting to watch.

Carson. You need to have confidence in your choices. Yes Casey's had visual appeal, but I think yours was great too.

You think so? The class would have just yawned if I did my experiement.

Who gives the grade? The professor, or the class? You know the answer.

I think you're right but its too late now.

Maybe you should talk to the professor so he see's what you originally were going to do. It might help.


I'm doing this as a favor to Casey. She didn't want to try it in class.

Did you work on it with her?

No but I know what it is supposed to do. She left me notes.

Why didn't she want to do it herself.

I don't know. I guess she just isn't as confident about her experiment as she should be.

If she is going to be this brilliant scientist, she needs to get comfortable demonstrating her own experiments.


Context: Jan had to clean up after the big birthday party. To start, Jan put the dishes into the sink and wiped the cake crumbs off the table.

I'm going to clean up soon.

Yea it's big party I'll help.

Let's all work together.

I'm happy to help.

Others won't help.

Let's all work together.


Monica made the birthday cake so I had to clean up up after the big birthday party.  I wiped the cake crumbs off the table.  Then put the dishes into the sink.

You are so thorough when you clean.

I would make a good roommate.

Is that a hint?  I am looking for a new roommate.  Mine graduated and went back home.

My lease is up next month.  It would be fun for us to be roommates.

Let's do it.


I'm still cleaning up after the birthday party.

Was there really that much to clean?

Well no one stayed to help. And it was a big birthday party so a lot of work.

But did you guys mostly eat outside?

We had the cake indoors. I started by putting the dishes in the sink and cleaning up the crumbs from the cake.

But at least there won't be much to do outside.


After the party, it is time to clean up.

I didn't know you had a big birthday party.

I just invited friends from work. Can you help me?

Let me help you put the dishes in the sink.

Thanks, I need to wipe the cake crumbs on the table.

Let us do this quickly.


Context: The man and woman were too tired to cook, so Bailey made their breakfast.

So I made the couple breakfast.

They must work so hard.

Running a B&B ain't easy.

But if you can get your guests to do the work, it might be.

Do you think I just got played?

Well, you did mention vacuuming earlier.


Context: Kai's hair was growing really long. Sasha decided to give Kai a nice haircut.

I can give you a nice haircut if you want me to Kai

I know it was growing long and I haven't had a chance to cut it lately

I used to be a hairdresser so I am pretty good at doing people's hair

That would be so nice of you Aunt Sasha


Haven't you been to the barber lately?

No, I haven't found the time.

Well, you know I've been styling hair for awhile. I want to give you a cut.

Really? Well, I guess so, if you think you'll do a good job.

All of my other friends have loved my work so far.

Okay, then, let's do it!


Although I like the hair long it was time to clean it up

Kai is able to pull off either long or short hair.

I didn’t cut it that short.

You have to send me a picture of it

I’ll take one and send it to you right now.

Maybe I’ll come get a haircut when I see the picture.


Context: Addison had a few minutes before going to work, Bailey spent Addison's time asking questions about her job.

Do you like working here?

Yeah it pays me okay.

What hours do you usually work?

Whatever they tell me to.

Oh, sorry I'm wasting your last few minutes.

It's okay , I like talking about my job.


I have always wondered what job Addison is doing.

I think he is an accountant.

Yes he is. I asked him this morning.

You’re lucky you caught him.

We had a chance to talk as he was waiting for his ride to work.

I am glad you have spent time with each other.


Context: On his walk, Jesse found money by the side of the road and he picked up to give a beggar.

I gave money to a beggar today.

That's nice and all, but where did you get the cash to give to anybody? I thought you were broke.

I am broke, but I found some money lying on the sidewalk by the road.

Really?

Yes.


Oh wow, a twenty dollar bill.

Please help. I'm a homeless veteran.

That's so terrible! It's criminal how we treat veterans in this country.

Yes, it's very hard, especially if you were injured.

Here, take this twenty dollars I found.

Thank you! Now I can afford to eat for the next two days.


This morning I picked up 200$ by the roadside

Whoa! someone might have accidentally dropped it

sure! but I couldn't find out to whom it belong

So you kept it? could I have 100$?

No, I didn't keep it. I gave it out to a beggar

Well, that's a good deed


Context: Kendall had a party at Jordan's house but was found out to not have asked and just broke in.

Did you hear about my party this weekend at Jordan’s house?

I heard it was amazing, but that you broke in.

That was a misunderstanding, I had permission to be there.

Who gave you permission?

I talked to Jordan about it months ago before he left town to go to school, but he forgot to tell his roommates about it.

Ok cool, I hope everything gets resolved.


I'm in big trouble. I did something really dumb.

I heard. Jordan told me. How could you do that?

I was desperate. I thought he wouldn't mind.

What kind of person wouldn't mind someone breaking into their house?

If it was a friend and they had a good reason, I wouldn't care.

I guess Jordan is not as open-minded as you, then.


Were you at Joran's party the other day?

Yeah, it was a lot of fun. Weren't you there too?

I was, but I don't think Jordan invited me.

How did you get in if Jordan didn't invite you?

I kind of just broke in.

You did what?


So I had a party. And now Jordan is mad at me.

Why? You didn't invite him?

I couldn't invite him. I threw it at his house.

So you feel you have a good excuse for not inviting him.

Exactly. If I had invited the guy, he would've found out that I broke into his house.

I don't know what to say.


Context: Tracy saw their enemy at the parking lot.  Tracy sped away.

I'm not dealing with these guys anymore since they always give me problems

maybe you should get a concealed carry license since they always try and make problems

I dont think I could carry a gun and I would definitely use it.

you dont have to use it just because you have it.

well, maybe i will get one then

You should think about it


Shoot gotta get out of here fast

woah slow down what is it

Its Tim

Tim, the guy who wants to beat you up

yea, I'm not trying to get hurt today

good call


Context: Tracy gave Remy an expression of disgust. They earned that look this time.

Remy annoyed me so bad the other day, I had to give him a look of disgust.

Wow. What did he do?

Well, he really deserved it this time. He started arguing with the boss at work.

Not a good idea if he wants to keep his job.

I felt the same way.

Well hopefully he realizes it wasn't a good thing to do and won't do it again.


I can't believe he would just put his feet on the counter like that

was this guy raised around wolves or something?

seems to be, he doesn't show much respect to other people at all

I wonder what his family life was like at home?


I just gave her a nasty look!

Well she did cheat with your boyfriend.

I wanted to grab her by the hair, and just beat her.

You are better off without him and she is not worth going to jail for.

It would have been worth it!


Context: Austin wanted to spend time with them at the park and play some fun games at the place.

I took my son's to the park today.

That's cool. What did you guys do at the park?

We flew drones, and played basketball.

That sounds like a fun father-son afternoon.

It was. I just wanted to spend some time with them and play some games.

Those are the kind of memories they will keep forever.


What did you end up doing today?

I ended up having to go to my Grandmas birthday party all day, and than had to do chores when I got home before I could come here.  What did you do today?

I went to the park with Patrick and Chris and we played some really fun games.

What kind of fun games? Anything that I would know of.

Probably, kick the can, and Red Roover were my favorite!

I'm jealous, next time I am skipping my grandmas party!


I took the kids to the park to spend the day and play games.

Did they enjoy hanging at the park with you?

The beginning was great and then they got bored.

Did they start complaining?

Yeah. After we ate lunch they started complaining and wanted to go home.

Did you continue playing games once you got home?


Are you ready to have some fun at the park?

Yes! Can't wait. Are you?

Me too. Can't wait to spend time with you guys and play some fun games.

How long will we be at the park?

About 4 to 5 hours.

That is more than enough time to have fun.


Context: Robin was certain she was going to make the sale and spent her commission before she had it.  The sale fell though so Robin had put the cart before the horse.

I'm so mad at myself. I spent a bunch of money that I shouldn't have.

Why did you spend it if you didn't have it?

I thought I was going to get a big commission from a sale but it fell through at the last minute.

Ahhh, yeah it would have been safer to delay the purchase until you knew you had it for sure.

I'm definitely going to do that next time.


Crap. I got this big credit card bill for the beamer's down payment that I can't cover.

Robin, why did you do this to yourself.

This was the best sale I ever made. I had it in the bag.

But you should wait until they sign the contract then you're good.

I signed my loan contract days before they signed theirs. I was so sure this was a done deal.

Well, next time you should wait


Oh my goodness! The sale fell through.

Ok. Sales fall through all the time. What's wrong?

I really thought this one would go through and I spent the money already.

Oh no! What did you spend the money on?

I bought my son a brand new car. He needed it for college.

I guess you have to take it back and buy a used car.


I have a guaranteed sale coming up. I think I might buy some new clothes.

Shouldn't you wait until you make the sale first?

Typically I do that, but this sale is such a sure thing I am willing to spend the money before I get it.

Hmm I would't do that, but to each their own.

Oh no, I just found out that the sale was cancelled.


Context: Taylor got into a fight with a boy over a girl they both liked. Taylor kicked his ball with his cowboy boot.

Oh man I got in so much trouble yesterday

What happened?

You know Carter? He's got a thing for Diana right

Yeah, it's been going on for years

I kicked him in the balls. He kept on talking about how he slept with her and I couldn't deal with it.

Whoa dude, did you really? Did he punch you?


I can't believe some guys.

What happened?

Me and this boy got into a fight because of this girl.

Did you guys have a fist fight or something?

No, I kicked his ball with my cowboy boot and he started crying.

Oh, that's kind of mean. You should really apologize.


I just got into a fight with another guy.

Why did you guys fight?

We were both going after the same girl.

Well, who won the fight?

I did after I kicked him in the balls with my cowboy boots.

Remind me not to ever get in a fight with you.


Context: Jan is a student, and demonstrated the task well.

I think I got the hang of it.

Did they show you what to do?

Yeah, they demonstrated once and then made us do it.

You are a pretty quick learner usually.

Yeah it only took a few minutes for me to do.

That's good, they will know you like to try hard.


Context: Austin called a friend to consider their options and the others thought she should come meet them.

I need to consider a lot of options so I am calling my friend.

I think it would be better if you went to meet them.

That’s what they suggested so I am going to see them tomorrow.

That is a good idea.

I hope things turn out the way it should be.

Keep your fingers crossed.


I think we should go with the retail unit on main street.

Are you sure that's the best area for our business?

I think so. It'll get the most traffic.

I think that we should meet in person to talk about it more.

I was going to suggest the same thing. I'll be there in a few minutes.

See you there.


Context: Casey and Jan performed their duty of going to the lands and fighting for their country.

Hey so how do you feel about joining the Marines now?

I'm happy that I did it to represent and fight for my country.

It's a great feeling and I don't think you can duplicate that anywhere.

Yes, and I have good training to get a job when I leave the military.

I am very glad you chose this route and thank you for your service.

I appreciate it and I love doing what I do.


Jen and I have been friends for a long time.

Where did you know Jan fron?

We both served our country together years ago.

You’ve come a long way.

Yes, we had each other back then.

I remember the time you left to fight.


Context: Tracy had gone missing, so Lee tried to call their cell phone.

Tracy is not answering my phones calls.  I keep calling her cell.  What else do I do?

You could try looking for her at her mom's house.

Okay maybe I'll ride by there.  I just don't understand why she is not answering.  It is like she has gone missing.

She will turn up.  Just go look at her mom's house or her boyfriends.

Okay, I will try those places.  I am so worried.

Don't worry too much.  She does this sometimes but always turns up.


Context: Skylar's father had run out of gas, so Skylar went to take him some.

This is so funny. My dad ran out of gas and called me.

Really? After all the times he got on your case about watching the tank?

Yes, that's what's so hilarious. I gave him some gas but not without some jokes.

Was he embarrassed?

Yes, and I took pictures. So funny!


My father run out of gas.

Where? do you need some help?

Yes, can you wait for me here? while I give some gas.

Sure, Take care Skylar.

Thanks, I will go now.


I just came back from taking some gas to my father.

Why couldn't he get it himself?

He had run out of gas in some neighborhood.

I hope he didn't wait too long.

He called me right away. I was able to get there in a few minutes.

I'm glad it turned out okay for him.


Context: Ash made a good impression at their job interview and felt confident about getting the job.

I nailed the job interview I told you about.

I'm so glad about that, do you think you will get the job.

Yes, I feel confident about it I hope I get it.

You will you just have to be positive, tell me more details about the interview.

Ok let's grab something to eat and I will tell you about it.

Great, let's do that then.


I think my job interview went really well, so now I just have to wait to hear back.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Thank you!! I'm optimistic, but afraid to be too optimistic.

I can understand that. Even though you feel it went well, I get that you don't want to get your hopes up too much.

Exactly. I don't want to end up disappointed if I don't get it. So I don't want to be overconfident.

That's the worst. When you convince yourself that something is going well, and then it doesn't.


Context: Alex was hired to paint Tracy's portrait. Alex painted the portrait so it was an exact realistic likeness of Tracy's image.

What do you think of the portrait?

That's amazing. It looks exactly like Tracy!

Someone hired me to paint her portrait. I wasn't sure how it would turn out, but I think it looks just like her.

Who hired you to paint Tracy anyway?

Her boyfriend. The painting is going to be her birthday present.


Context: Because they wanted to do something nice, Jan washed Taylor's truck.

That was so kind of Jan to wash my truck!

You are very fortunate to have Jan as a friend.

I know right! Jan is always helping me and making sacrifices.

You need to show more appreciation to your friend Taylor.

I always do. I will invite Jan for dinner later.

Better be a gourmet meal!


Context: Ash played tricks on their parents. They were a mean spirited individual.

I can't help myself, especially on April Fools day.

You know your parents don't like your pranks, why do you keep doing it?

Because I want to bring a bit of humor to their life.

I don't know about that.

My  mom isn't as bad as my dad. Maybe her laughter will lighten the mood in the house.

I guess we'll see.


My parents have been annoying me so much.

I'm sorry to hear that. How so?

Well they accuse me of things I don't do.

Oh, that's terrible. Did you talk to them about it?

No, I just played tricks on them.

Oh, but that just will prove their point.


I like playing tricks on my parents.

Why?

Because it's fun.

Well then.


Context: Skylar not only admired the artist, they even wrote a story about the artist.

I wrote a story about this artist.

Why would you write a story about him?

I've admired him since I was a kid and thought this would be a little hobby of mine.

Like a fan fiction type of thing?

Not really. But I was thinking about sending it to him to look over  it.

Good luck. Maybe you'll get a book deal out of it?


I love Banksy's work so much I even joined a fan page and write fan fiction about him.

Skylar, that is weird.

No, it's not! It's not gross fan fiction. And its really fun .

Skylar! You have no idea who Banksy is or what they look like.

I know. That's a big part of way it is so fun.

I guess so. It is still weird.


Context: Austin could not get the machine to work, so Austin abandoned the plan altogether.

I can't get this machine to work at all. I think it's broken. I'm going to have to make a new plan.

Are you sure you can't figure it out? You put so much work into it.

No, I have had enough of this. I don't think it's possible anyway.

Okay. Maybe you can ask someone for help.

Yes maybe.


I think I have to think of a new plan.

What's wrong with your current plan?

It hinges on this machine, and I can't just get it to work.

Ah okay I see

Yeah, I can't use this plan, it's over.

Hopefully your new plan will be better.


Context: Kai stopped going to his therapist. He kidnapped Bailey and her friend and bound them together with rope.

Bailey and her friend are in the basement.

I can hear them.

They are bound together with a rope.

You stopped taking your medicine?

I stopped going to my therapist and I kidnapped both girls.

I'm calling the police.


Context: Jordan pieced the information together.  They finally understood what went on.

I told them to calm down, they were just upset.

The situation is not even worth to be angry about.

Yeah, that's what I told them.

They just need to be United.

Yeah I just pieced the information together, they finally understood what went on.

That's good.


We don't need to be worried about what was going on with Alex anymore.

Did you find out some of the answers?

Yes, I think I've finally pieced all the information together.

So you know what's going on now?

Yes, I think I know what's going on.

Tell me.


Context: When they were getting ready for the big date that evening, Sasha put their hair up in a french twist.

While I was getting ready for my big date that night, I decided to put my hair up in a french twist.

You look so good with your hair up like that.  You have such a long elegant neck.

Thanks darling.  I wanted my hair out of my face.  The dress I was wearing had a plunging back and I wanted to show off my back.

Who did you get all dressed up for?

There's this guy I met after school.  He's the quarterback for the school football team.  You might know him.

Jamison?  He's so hot.


Do you like my hair?

Yes! What do you call that style?

It's called a french twist

It looks great on you for your date tonight

I want to look amazing tonight


Context: Carson fell asleep before setting his alarm for the next day. Addison decided to set Carson's phone alarm for him.

I can't believe Carson went to bed early, he's got an exam tomorrow.

I bet all that studying has him tired out. He was pretty lethargic today when we were having dinner.

Yeah, he needs to get his rest. I took his phone and set the alarm on it to get him up on time.

Good! I'll be sure to make him a great breakfast to give him energy for his exam.

Your legendary bacon, eggs, and toast?

Don't forget the sausages and orange juice!


Context: Carson led Jan through life and they never thought to question the decisions laid before them.

I am really grateful for all your help.

No problem, I enjoy it.

I feel like I am following you blindly.

That's okay, I make good decisions.

That's good, thanks again.

My pleasure.


Context: Jordan overhead some people talking about a party. Jordan told them what Addison had said.

I heard there is going to be a big party this weekend.

Where did you hear that?

I overheard Addison talking to her friends.

Did she say there would be a DJ at the party?

All I heard was that there would be food trucks and a lot of people.

Sounds like fun, maybe we should go.


I hear you guys talking about a party. Addison told me that she went to a fun party.

Which party was it?

It was the one at the local bar in the neighbourhood.

That was the party we attended.

You attended the same party as Addison. Did you enjoy it?

We had a great time.


I overheard a lot of conversations

yeah there were a lot of crazy things said at that party

Addison had said some things about her boyfriend too that were not too great

Yes, we have heard some of it but break it down by detail

Alright I will if you have a few extra seconds

we are all ears my friend


Context: Ash went separate ways after leaving Addison's house and they both got something good to eat for dinner.

Hey Addison, I'm going to head out to the Texas Roadhouse for dinner now.

Oh, I was leaving too and headed to the Kona Grill.

Ahh, the Kona Grill is a great place for dinner.

I love the Texas Roadhouse as well so you made a good choice.

Well, maybe next time we can go get dinner together.

Okay, sounds good and let me know your plans for next week!


Hey, it was great to see you tonight!

Same here! Where are you heading off to?

Might grab a bite to eat before turning in for the night. You?

Same! I'm going to stop at a place near my apartment.

Well have a great night! I loved seeing you.

You too! I had a great time!


I lost you after we left Addison's house.

Yeah, I ended up getting a ride with Lee and stopped to get some food.

Haha, I ended up doing the same thing. Who doesn't have food at a party?

I know, right?


I was tired when I left Addison's house so I stopped to pick up dinner.

What did Addison eat?

Addison was running out to get something to eat for himself.

Oh. Well what did you get?

I stopped and picked up a pizza.

Do you have some left for me?


Context: After a period of being alone for awhile, Lee got some friends.

I am so happy that we are friends.

I am too, I mean I know how difficult it can be to try and make friends when you are new.

It is.

I should introduce you to some other people.

That would be great, thanks. I am always looking  to meet new people.

Follow me over to that table over there.


Being alone isn't fun.

I know man.

It's ok. After being alone for a while I made some friends.

I bet you really value it more now.

I sure do.


So I was living alone and didn't have any friends here in the city at first.

How did you meet this group of friends?

Well, I joined a social club.

That's smart.

Yeah, now I have lots of friends!

I'm glad I'm one of them!


I'm so glad I've met you and the guys

Well I'm glad we met too

it got lonely here after the move

well good thing you walked into the gaming store

yea who would have thought there would be a dungeons group here in the middle of nowhere

oh there's more of us


I finally have friends.

That's so great to hear!

Yeah, I spent a lot of time by myself, but I am happy I could meet you guys

I am happy to have met you too, Lee. Want to hang out later?

Absolutely!


Context: After a long night of drinking and feeling exhausted, Ash got home.

I finally got home.

What did you do last night?

I went out drinking!

Good for you man haha.

I'm so hungover.

I bet you are.


I was out late last night.

I guess you were partying.

I was drinking all night.

When did you come home?

I don't know, I became exhausted and went home.

You are all in one piece so I guess someone drove you home.


I need to get to bed asap. I've got to sleep.

You look terrible!

Yeah, I've been drinking all night and I can barely keep my eyes open now. I'm going straight to bed.

Make sure you drink some water before you fall asleep, or you'll get dehydrated and your hangover will be worse in the morning.


I got home so late last night.

Where were you?

First I went out with some friends to a club. Then we all headed to some party in the burbs. I am beat.

Was the party fun?

It was at first. But then I drank way too much and  I snuck out of there as soon as I was sober enough to drive.

You should have called a cab.


Context: Lee got Kendalls bike back from the shop, where it was repaired.

Your bike is back from the shop.

Awesome! Is it finally fixed?

Yes it is ready to ride now.

I'm so glad they got it done, I really missed riding my bike.

It almost looks like it is brand new they did a really good job.

Yes, I trust them very much and always make sure my bike is fixed quickly.


Thanks for picking up my bike, were they able to repair it?

Yep, they said it was fixed and is like brand new now.

Perfect, I'm so glad they stand by their warranty.

Yes you really got lucky there, but most new items have some kind of warranty

And they made it easy, dropped it off, fixed in one day, picked it up, done deal

Hmm I might consider getting my next bike from them then.


I got my bike back today

Did Lee help you?

Yeah it was repaired in the shop and he went to pick it up

Is it working now?

Yes, all it needed was a tightening

Now you can go for a ride again!


Context: Ash got a new job and earned money to pay the rent that was due two days ago.

I don't know what I would have done if I didn't get this new job!

You were lucky because it's not easy finding a job right now.

My rent was due two days ago so without this job I would have been looking for a place to live too.

Maybe you should get a roommate to help pay the rent?

I think I can manage now with this job, but it's something to think about.

Definitely! Getting a roommate was the best decision I ever made!


I finally found a new job

That's great news, how will you celebrate?

First I have to pay my rent that is overdue

That's a good idea

After my bills are paid maybe we can go out to eat

That would be fun, it's been awhile since we did that


Context: sydney was making pizza so she took it out of the oven when it was ready.

I'm going to go check on the pizza, it smells delicious!

Of course it will be delicious, anything you make is so good

Aw thank you, this looks ready, I'm gonna go ahead and take it out of the oven now

Perfect timing, by the time it's cool enough to be cut we can start the movie

Thanks for coming over tonight, I love our pizza/movie nights!

I just come for the delicious pizza! HAHA Just kidding, you know I love you


So I had a nice time this weekend by myself.

Oh yeah? What did you do?

I made pizza!

Sounds great, did it take a long time?

About half an hour, I took it out when it was ready and it was nice and crispy.

Sounds delicious, now I want some pizza!


Context: Cameron put Robin's hand on his leg when he noticed there was no place for Robin's arm anywhere else.

Robin and I were crammed into a car on the ride and it was ridiculously crowded.

Why didn't you each get your own car on the ride?

I don't know they put us in the same car and poor Robin didn't even have anywhere for her arm so I put it on my leg.

That sounds kind of weird. Did she want you to do that?

I don't know, but she didn't complain.

Sometimes you act weird.


Robin was sitting next to me on the plane. When she fell asleep, she was really sitting awkward.

It's hard to get comfortable on those plane seats.

I agree. Anyway, she kept moving her arm but couldn't find a place to put it, so I put her hand on my leg, which helped her arm.

Was she okay with that? She didn't mind?

I don't think so. I felt weird but she was struggling.


I put Robin's hand on my leg at the theatre.

Why did you do that?

There was no arm rest between the seats we had.

Don't you think that's still too strong of a move?

Yeah it was. But at least she seemed to like it.

I'm guessing you guys are going to be going to movies more often?


Context: Because it wasn't their time to shine, Sasha took a backseat to their coworker.

She did really well today.

I know, but why didn't you stand up, it was your idea.

Well, she's been having a hard time working, getting along with everyone, so I let her have it

That was too nice of you.


I had my turn yesterday, so I sat quietly at the back of the room.

You are so nice to give them the stage.

Of course, that's the way to do it.

I admire your principles.

That is how my parents taught me.

You are a good person.


It's not our time yet to shine.

Yes, Just wait for now Sasha.

Will do, we will go back to backseat to our co-worker for now.

Sure, I will just call you when it's your time.

Thank you, I will wait for you.

You are welcome Sasha.


I feel like my boss likes my co-worker better than me.

Well, it's true that you've been shirking your duties lately, letting your co-worker pick up the slack.

I just feel like it hasn't been my time to shine, so I've been taking a backseat.

Well, that's a convenient excuse. You need to show up ready to shine every day at work.

My efforts don't really get recognized by my boss.

Well, if your boss thinks you're taking a backseat, you could be fired.


I just sat back and let my co-workers do the talking.

You don't have to talk all the time.

I learned so much more when I just listen.

People need to be better listeners.

I have seen that at the office.  Some people just like to talk.

They usually don't say anything.


Context: Riley asked Robin to return his wallet but Robin wouldn't even admit that she took it.

It's crazy that someone steals your wallet and doesn't want to give it back.

Maybe she think she's being slick.

Not slick at all as I have great evidence that shows she has it.

Is it camera evidence?

I have witnesses and camera evidence.

She is in trouble.


Context: Remy looked them in the eye. She was not happy with them at all.

My kids really got on my nerves today.

Oh no. I hope you didn't hit them.

I didn't. I just gave them a stern talk.

That's good. Just don't yell at them.


I think sometimes I can come across as hostile, but my methods make sure people don't mess around.

Yeah man, it's the truth!

I basically gave them one look and they knew what they had done.

You've done that to me before and sometimes it's frightening.

Works a treat then.

You scary girl, Remy.


I can't believe you left the party so early!

We thought you left already too so we didn't look for you.

But we were having so much fun dancing!

Yeah but I thought everyone was tired from last night. You can't expect us to give us a look in the eyes and know what's going on.

It's okay, there will be other parties, but promise not to leave without me next time.

Okay, we will be sure not to leave without you.


I am really disappointed in my children.

What did they do to make you feel that way?

You know my husband's mother passed away last spring, right?

Yes, I recall you having to travel to get her remains after the cremation.

Right. Well, the urn was kept on top of the mantle and the kids were playing around and knocked it down, shattering the urn and spilling the ashes. They vacuumed them up.

Oh my goodness. What are you going to tell your husband?


Context: Kendall was camping and saw a snake in a pond. Kendall picked up a rock and cast it into the water.

So we were just walking along and all of a sudden I see this huge snake in the pond!

Oh that's cool, was it like an anaconda or something?

I'm not sure, either way I threw a rock to try and distract it. It splashed the snake and it came back for us.

Oh no, I am terrified of snakes. How did you get away?

Well I used a stick to try and put him off and eventually he left me alone.

Good thing you're still here.


We were camping and saw a snake in the water.

What kind of snake was it?

I have no idea, it was coming at me, so I picked up a rock and threw it in the water at it.

You should have left it alone, if it was not bothering you.


I saw a snake and tried to scare it away.

Why it is more afraid of you than you are of it.

I just hate snakes ok?

Just as long as you don't hurt it.

It landed like 5 feet from the snake I didn't hurt it.

I actually happen to like snakes so you better not.


Context: Austin got extra help with the homework from his tutor since he was falling behind in class.

I've been working with a tutor.

How do you like her?

She's great. I was falling really far behind, but I'm catching up with her help.

How often do you meet with her?

Usually once a week, but twice a week when we have a test coming up.

I'm glad it's working. I know you were pretty stressed.


You know, some people like me just need a bit of extra assistance every now and then.

Yeah, how do you get that? For me personally it helps to have more books.

Hell no, I need a tutor to take care of me every now and then

Is it always going to be that way?

I feel like a tutor gives me more motivation as he directs me in the right way.

Well judging by your recent grades it seems to be working, keep up the good work.


Context: Casey forgot their lunch.  Aubrey dropped it at their school to keep Casey from starving.

I had to stop at school on the way here, I'm sorry to be late.

No problem but why did you go to school? Are the kids okay?

Yeah, but Casey forgot his lunch so I brought him a sandwich since he has no money for the cafeteria.

Oh thank goodness you realized it. He'd have been starving all afternoon.

Yes, and he doesn't do well in class when he's hungry so I hope the principal gave it to him.

I'm sure she will. You are such a good mom.


That girl is always forgetting to take her lunch.

Did you end up taking it to her again.

I did, I didn't want her to starve at school.

Maybe you should let her do without one day, to learn she has to take it.

I thought about that, but with her diabetes she has to eat something.

The school would have provided her a lunch.


Sorry I'm late, I had to drop off Casey's lunch at the school to keep him from starving to death.

He's still forgetting his lunch this far into the school year?

Yes, he just cannot seem to get organized.

Maybe you guys could try to get everything ready the night before.

We have tried that, but he forgets everything in the morning!

Make a list at the door of things to remember so he sees it before leaving the house.


Context: Bailey is the President of the club.  Bailey provided financial support to members.

I just got elected to be the President of the club.

Wow, that's amazing. What is your role?

I provide financial support to the members.

Sounds like an important role.

Yes it is.

Glad to hear your success.


I had everything prepared for all members of the club before going in.

Well besides minutes, what documents did you need?

I prepared a financial report for everyone.

People like to know where the money is going so that was probably the most important report.

They had been asking for it for several weeks so I hope they are satisfied.

The bottom line should satisfy them all.


Did you know that I'm President of the club?

I didn't know that. What responsibilities do you have?

There are a few, but I mostly provide financial support to the members.

That's an important role.

It is. I take my job seriously.

I'm proud that you have such a good job.


Okay, next up on the agenda, grants to help club members pay for groceries during the pandemic.

Mr. President, I have the list of members who've been laid off right here.

I see there's only eight people now that Jack agreed to hire Sal and Marie.

Yes, our budget can easily cover food assistance for eight people.

Okay, I'll sign the checks after the meeting.

And I'll drive to everyone's house to pass them out tomorrow morning.


Context: Addison scheduled Casey to attend the show because Casey had been talking about wanting to see it for a long time.

I had been wanting to see that new show for months and Addison finally got me on the schedule to view it.

That was really nice of her to do that for you.

I know! I am so thrilled that she was able to do that and I can't wait to go see the show.

When are you supposed to go?

This weekend and I couldn't be more excited!

Well have a great time!


Addison scheduled me to attend the show

Oh really, so you'll finally get to the show

Yeah you know that I've been talking about wanting to see it for a long time

Okay, it's quite good. maybe I could join you for the show


Context: Taylor put Kai's son down because he began to cry and wanted to be left alone.

I love playing with kids.

There is Kai's son. He is so cute.

He is not in a good mood. He was crying so I had to put him down.

I think he is not feeling good.

I just left him alone for a while.

Kai's picking him up soon.


Context: Austin had never kissed a girl before. Austin bit Skylar's lower lip.

My date with Austin was interesting, I guess overall it went well

Hmm sounds like there was already trouble in paradise

I wish I had known he had never kissed a girl before I went in for that kiss!

Was it not a good kiss?

He bit my lip!

Well practice makes perfect!


Ow, my lip is still hurting today.

Is that where Austin bit you? How on earth did he manage that?

He literally went in for the kiss and bit me instead!

Sounds like he's pretty inexperienced.

He never kissed a girl before me apparently.

Did he even kiss you in the end?


This is the last time I'm seeing Austin!

Why are you bleeding?

He bit my lip.

Let me get you a tissue.

Thanks, apparently he had never kissed a girl before. No surprise there I guess!

It goes to show!


Context: After searching for weeks, Carson finally found the doll that his sister lost.

My sister is going to be so happy when she gets home from school!

Why will she be happy? Are you moving out?

No smart guy... I found a doll that she lost last month. She's been whining about it ever since.

Oh that's great! Wow, she will be happy. Where did you find it?

It was under the sofa in the living room. I think the cat must have dragged it under there.

Stupid cat! Well at least you found it.


I found a bunch of things that were lost and I am loving it!

Cool, what you found?

I found the doll my sister lost a few months ago, she was driving nuts about it.

And what you going to do with it now?

I will give it to her after making her do some tasks for me.

You are mean!


I am so excited!

You remember that doll your sister lost?

Yes, the one that we were sure to be missing?

Yes, I've looked for a replacement for weeks and finally found an exact copy.

Will she believe it's the same doll?

That's the big question.  I hate to fool her, but she'll be so happy if she thinks I found her doll.


I was just brushing my teeth the other day and noticed something odd in the cabinet.

Let me guess, your sister's doll? You've been searching for weeks.

Yes! Who thought it would be somewhere so obvious!

Glad you found it in the end!


Context: Remy had just finished preparing soup for dinner when several friends showed up unannounced. Remy prepared several more bowls of soup.

It's good to expect the unexpected.

I agree but why are you saying that?

I just finished making some soup for dinner then a bunch of friends popped up without notice. So of course I had to make more soup for my buds.

Right on bro. That was nice of you to feed your buddies.


It's a good thing I like cooking otherwise I would have told everyone to bugger off!

How the hell did you make so much soup?

It's really easy and felt bad that they were all starving. When they all showed up at once I was very annoyed though

Did you know they were coming?

Nope, they showed up completely unannounced.

Well that’s not fair.


I had just finished making dinner and then a couple friends were at the door.

Oh no! Did you ask them to leave?

No I invited them in and made a couple more bowls of soup.

That was nice, what type of soup was it?

It was tomato and basil soup.

That sounds good, let me know next time you make it so I can drop by.


Clearly my friends must think I'm some sort of catering service.

They were by the neighbourhood and stopped by unannounced?

Quite literally, their excuse was that they wanted to try my soup I'd been bragging about.

Serves you right for bragging in my opinion.


Context: Sasha was bored at their friend's party. Sasha decided to leave.

My god that party was so dull.

Why didn’t you like the party?

Honestly, it was lame. It just seemed like more of a frat party than my kind of scene.

I've heard Lee goes pretty nuts at those parties, suppose I should have warned you before hand.

It's cool, at least now I know to never go back.

I hope you don’t think that about my parties.


Context: Bailey made it onto Austin's enemy list by calling them stupid and making fun of the as a joke.

I don't think Austin likes me anymore

what did you do to upset him?

I called him stupid, but I was just kidding around.

I guess Austin doesn't have a very good sense of humour

Maybe, but sometimes I take a joke too far

Well, I guess your new enemy is one less person you have to buy a Christmas present for.


I just can't stand Austin anymore!

Aren't you friends with him?

We were, but he keeps making fun of me for calling him stupid and telling him he's overreacting.

Serves you right surely?

That is a terrible way to joke. It hurts me.

You're both being immature.


Context: Ash turned his head a saw a very pretty woman enter the room.  He wanted to get to know her, but she was so beautiful, he felt intimidated.

Did you see that woman who came in?

She was beautiful.  You should go over and talk to her next time.

She's beautiful, she won't even look at me.

She's just a person like anybody else.

More like a goddess you mean.

Now as I look at you, maybe you're right.


A really pretty lady started working at my job today.

Did you have a chance to meet her?

No. I was intimidated and avoided her.

Come on Ash. Is she that pretty?

She could be a movie star. I would like to get to know her. I have to overcome my fear.

I guess you'll just have to go for it.


Oh, wow. Look who just walked in.

Wow. She's hot.

Yeah, I'm going to go talk to her.

Uh, you haven't moved.

Yeah, I'm going to go talk to her any minute, now.

OK, smooth guy.


Context: Casey was preparing to settle in for the evening, so they made some chamomile tea to help relax.

I just want to put my feet up and relax.

What about having tea?

Actually that is a great idea, I will go make some chamomile. Do you want some?

Sure, that sounds great.

Okay, here you go. I also added some sugar.

Thanks, that is just how I like it.


I've been having a little trouble sleeping lately, I think I need something to help me relax.

We can make some chamomile tea, my mom and granny always used to make that for me if I was having trouble getting to sleep.

Ok, I've never tried that.  Can you make it?

Sure.  I will make it, and it should only take a minute.  I hope this helps you.

Wow...This doesn't taste like I thought it would.  It's not very good.  But I already feel a little sleepy.

That's great, we'll have to get you a supply of chamomile to keep at your house, too.


Camomile is the only way that I'm able to go to sleep.

I heard that helps a lot of people because it's warm.

I think the warm just soothes you and relaxes your muscles.

That makes all the sense in the world.

That's why I have so many bags of Camomile.

Is chamomile your favourite?


What a long day!

You've been working a lot of hours lately.

This project has been really tough, but right now I just want to relax. I'll boil some water and we can have some chamomile tea

Thank you, that stuff makes me so chilled out.

That sounds really soothing.

I'll let you know when it's ready.


Context: Bailey asked Alex to send them the pdf for the school project but Alex never did.

I had asked Alex to send me the pdf for the school project but he hasn't done it yet.

Is he on your team?

He's one of the four people on the team. I hate team projects, someone always flakes.

That's not fair.

Other members have to step up and make up for their work.

Give Alex a chance.


Context: It was a beautiful day. Skylar went hiking.

Wow, it was so nice out today so I had to go for a hike.

Yeah, it was sunny all day and cool at the same time.

You don't get a lot of chances to get out into the wild.

I'm glad you took advantage of it today.

I saw so many birds and turtles on the hike.

Seeing the animals is the best part of hiking.


How come you're not an outdoorsy person?

I don't know. I just never liked being outside. I prefer staying in an air conditioned house reading a book or something.

Yeah, yeah...I went on a hike yesterday with Bill. It was such a beautiful day outside.

How long of a hike did you go on?

About an hour into the trail and an hour out. Nothing too long. It was getting a little too hot after a while even for me.

Yeah, it's gonna be hot all week. I sure do love my air conditioner.


Context: Casey hired Aubrey, an attorney, to help her with the divorce.

There's just so much going on with the divorce, you know.

Have you heard of Aubrey? She's the best attorney in town.

Yes, she will actually be handling the case. Hopefully there will be a fair pay out for all the stuff he's done to me!

I'm sure justice will be served, she knows what she's doing. Believe me.

Thanks for believing.

No problem, Casey.


Context: Sasha was interested in Carson's friend but never talked to them. Sasha texted Carson's friend one night.

She just popped out the blue on my friend's phone.

Not sure why she would, but I think she likes him. She wouldn't shut up about this boy the other day so it must be him.

Sasha is a good girl. He might like her.

Yeah, will be interesting to see what will happen.


Context: After realizing their hair dye was staining them, Lee did not wear hats anymore.

The sad part of having purple hair? My hair dye is staining all my hats.

But I thought you loved your hats?

Yeah, but it's one or the other. I can't be staining my new Gucci bucket hat.

I hear you bro, I would do the same in your shoes.

Or maybe I could start a new style? Stained hats.

That's a good idea for real.


I finally don't need to wear hats when I go outside.

Is your hair looking better now?

Yeah, I realized the dye still stains my hats.

I didn't know that was a problem.

Yeah, I love my hats but at least I get to show off my new hair!

Great! I like seeing your dyed hair.


All of my hats are stained blue from my hair dye.

I would be mad if I were you, wasn't that stuff supposed to be non staining?

I thought so, at least that is what the bottle of dye said.

Can you get the stains out?

Maybe, I will have to soak them for a while in something.

I can bring over a big tub so you don't have to use your bathtub and get it stained too.


I had to stop wearing my basketball caps.

Why? Do they bother you?

No! I coloured my hair and now when I wear a hat, the dye comes off onto the brim.

Oh wow. Well how long till the dye comes off your hair?

In about 6 weeks, I think.

You can go back to wearing hats then, at least.


My dye ruined all of my hats.

Oh no. I loved your hats.

I can't even wear hats anymore.

Darn it. You looked so good in them.


Context: Tracy needed paint to make a picture. She knew her favorite store was out of the paint she needed.

I don't know what I'm going to do now that I'm out of the paint I need for my project.

Did you already check at your favourite art store downtown?

Yes, but they were all sold out.

Do you need to finish the project soon?

I would like to have it done tomorrow at the latest.

Let's go check at the art store in the mall and see if they carry it.


I really want to make a painting for my husband.

You should do that, I know he will love it!

Oh darn, my usual store ran out of paint. Would you mind if I used your paint?

Oh totally, I will run to my house and pick it up for you.

Thank you so much Susie!

Not a problem, I am happy to do it.


Dill's is out of the paint that I need.

I may have some, what colours do you needs.

Orange and blue for the picture.

Let me go check real quick. I got them, here you go.

Thanks for letting me borrow them, so I can finish the project.


I am going to have to drive an hour for paint.

That store doesn't carry it?

No, they are all out.

Can't you just wait?

No, I really want to paint my picture.

Well have a nice drive.


My art gallery is opening in less than a week and I am one painting short for the show. I already know the picture I want to paint but I don't have enough of the paint colours I need to use to paint the picture.

Okay, but that's an easy fix. Just go to your favourite craft store and pick some up.

I was just there yesterday and they were all out of the paint that I need.

Can't you just buy a different paint or mix some of the paint you already have to make the colours you will need?

No, I already thought of that and went through all of the paint I do have. Unfortunately I am also out of a few base colours which makes mixing paints not an option.

What about ordering the paint online and pay the extra fee for next day delivery? That way you can get the paint you need, you don't have to leave your house, and they should arrive in time to give you ample time to finish the painting. That should work.


Context: Kai exceeded expectations on the date and brought a limo, flowers, and chocolates.

I don't want to brag, but she said it was the best date she ever had.

It should be for all the money you spent.

She's worth it, I mean flowers and chocolates are nice, but the limo put it over the top!

How are you going to top that though?

I don't need to top it, she was already talking about how she would tell all of her friends.

Thanks for making it harder for the rest of us!


I went all out for this date.

Really what did you do?

Got a limo, flowers, and chocolates.

How did your girl like them?

She was blown away.

I bet she was.


Context: At the big race, someone came in first, Riley's father came second, then Quinn succeeded them.

I was glad that I performed well in the race.

Yeah, I heard you did awesome!

Yeah, top three!

That's so great! Were there a lot of people in the race?

There definitely were. It was nice to finish in the top few.

I'm glad that you managed.


Context: Carson went hunting with Skylar for the first time and accidently shot Skylar in the chest.

Let's go hunting he said!

How on earth did he shoot you in the chest?

It was just a pellet, but still. He saw a deer and thought he could get the shot off, turns out that deer was me...

Can I see the scar?

Absolutely not.

Darn it.


Context: Carson went hunting with Skylar for the first time and accidentely shot Skylar in the chest.

My chest is still in immense pain.

You're still in the hospital?

Yeah, it's going to take a while to recover since the hunting trip.

What exactly happened?

I went hunting with Carson for the time and he accidentally shot me in the chest.

Carson should never use a gun again.


Context: Skylar needed money. He decided to break into a bank by cutting a hole in the wall.

Hey dude, what's up? Do you need some money?

What? Uh no, not really. Wait, how'd you get all that money?

Well, I probably shouldn't say, but I found a way into the Bank.

Really? You know that's stealing?


I needed money.

So do a lot of people.

I took my needs a little far.

What did you do this time?

I broke into a bank by cutting a hole in the wall.

Now you can apply for a cell with the penitentiary prison.


I got a huge score today.

Score, what do you mean, did you win something?

I broke into a bank, I really needed the money.

How did you break into a bank?

I cut a hole right into the wall.

I don't think we should be talking about this.


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

Bailey showed up with Larissa, what a lovely surprise.

Were you not a bit jealous?

Not in the slightest, I know that Bailey is a good friend and nothing would ever be going on between those two.

Well it's always nice to have that level of trust with someone.

Plus it's a bonus to see my partner during a shift!

It sure is.


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

That was so nice of Bailey to bring my girlfriend to the bar to see me.

It really was. And your girlfriend is so pretty!

I know. I love her so much. And Bailey knew I haven't had a chance to see my girlfriend in like a week.

Bailey is a really good friend to you.

She is. It was such a nice surprise. I should do something nice for her.

You could give her a few drink vouchers the next time she comes in.
