A: Hi, this is Albert.

B: Hi, my name is Jack. You called about a room for rent. Are you still interested?

A: Yes, more than you know.

B: I don't mean to pry, but could I ask you a couple of questions?

A: Ask away.

B: I don't want us to be roommates who don't get along.

A: Yes, we must get along if we are going to be roommates.

B: Is partying one of your priorities?

A: I'm a student. I don't have time to party.

B: Very good. Now, do you clean up after yourself?

A: I clean up my own mess, and I expect others to do so, too.

B: What time do you usually hit the sack?

A: Occasionally, I stay up late if there's a big test the next day.

B: What about smoking?

A: If I ever get elected President, I will ban smoking nationwide.

B: Very good. Now, would you like to ask me anything?

A: Yes, I have one question. Do I have to park in the street?

B: I'm sorry. Yes, you have to park your car in the street.

A: I hate street parking, but I need the apartment now.

B: Very good. Just call me when you're ready to move your stuff over here.

A: How about if I come over tomorrow afternoon?

B: Just ring the doorbell. I'll be here all day.
