1-- Hello, this is Albert.
2-- Hi. I'm Jack. You called about the room for rent. Are you still interested?
1-- Yes, I am.
2-- I was wondering if I could ask you a couple of questions.
1-- Shoot.
2-- I just want to be sure that we get along.
1-- I agree with you 100 percent--we must get along.
2-- Are you a party animal?
1-- Oh, no. I'm a very quiet person.
2-- Great! Next: Are you neat or are you a slob?
1-- I'm a pretty neat person.
2-- Are you a night owl or a day person?
1-- Early to bed, early to rise.
2-- Finally, do you smoke?
1-- Actually, I quit smoking four years ago.
2-- Excellent answers. Do you have any questions for me?
1-- Just one: Is there a parking lot?
2-- Unfortunately, you have to park in the street.
1-- Well, I'm desperate. I'll take it anyway.
2-- Great! Let me know when you're ready to move in.
1-- I think it will be tomorrow if that's okay.
2-- No problem. I'll be here all day tomorrow.
