Conversation 1
Man: What did you do last night?
Woman: I saw the new James Bond movie.
Man: Oh, I love 007.
Woman: Oh really? If I had known that, I would've asked you to come.
Man: That's all right. Maybe next time.
Woman: Well, you're really going to love this movie. Especially ...
Man: Wait, wait. Don't spoil it. I'm seeing it tonight.
Conversation 2
Man: Hey, you're back in town. I thought you were in New York.
Woman: I was, but I came home early.
Man: Oh, when did you get in?
Woman: Last night at midnight. Getting a taxi home was a nightmare.
Man: Well, if you had told me, I would've picked you up.
Woman: No worries. The traffic was so bad. If you had, you would've regretted it.
Conversation 3
Man: How did you do on the test?
Woman: Not good. I failed. I was so close to passing, too.
Man: Oh, no. I'm sorry to hear that.
Woman: Yeah. If I had just answered one more question correctly, I would've passed.
Man: Well, I hate to say it, but if you had studied, you also might've passed.
Woman: Sad, but true
Conversation 4
Woman: So, how was your job interview?
Man: Not good. I think I bombed it.
Woman: Oh, I'm sure it was fine.
Man: No, really. I was late, and I could not answer any questions well. I kept fumbling for words.
Woman: Well, if they weren't interested in you, they wouldn't have interviewed you.
Man: Maybe. But if I had done better today, I am sure they would've liked me a lot more.
Woman: Maybe. But you never know.
