Conversation 1
Man: There’s a car parked
across the street that looks a little
suspicious.
Woman: Oh, yeah? Why do you say
that?
Man: Well, it’s been sitting
there for awhile with its engine running and
lights turned on.
Woman: Oh, it’s probably
nothing. Some guys probably just pulled over to
check a map or something.
Man: I don’t know. The person
seated inside looks a bit sketchy.
Woman: OK, that’s it. No more
crime drama shows for you.
Conversation 2
Man: Have you heard about
Bob’s new project?
Woman: No. What has he been up
to lately?
Man: He’s built a bike made
entirely of bamboo.
Woman: What? He made a bike
made of bamboo?
Man: Yeah, and all the bamboo
used on the bike he made himself.
Woman: You got to give it to
him. That man’s got talent.
Conversation 3
Man: What’s in the boxes
located outside?
Woman: Just some junk left from
that last tenant.
Man: Who’s gonna move them?
Woman: I am not sure. They said
we could toss them out.
Man: Then why don’t you?
Woman: To be honest, I want to
see what’s inside first.
Man: Me too. Let’s go have a
look.
Conversation 4
Man: What movie did you see
last night?
Woman: We saw that new French
war movie filmed in black and white.
Man: I heard about that. Is it
any good?
Woman: It’s really good. It’s a
war story told through the eyes of children.
Man: That sounds really
interesting.
Woman: I think you would like
it. It’s French, though, so it’s subtitled.
Man: I’ll pass then. I hate
movies subtitled in English. I’ll wait till it’s
on Netflix.
