Hi , Michael , how's it going ?   Well , things are all right .   I heard you got a new roommate . What's he like ?   Yeah , Bob moved in last week . He is a nice guy and so far everything is cool except this girlfriend .   Oh ? What's wrong with his girlfriend ?   She came over last weekend . She is a nice girl but there's something about her voice that really creeps me out . I tried to smile and be polite , but the whole time all I could think was " what's wrong with your voice ? "   Well , I guess it might take some time to get used to .   I doubt it . Last time was an oral train wreck . Listening to her talk is like chewing tin foil .   Oh come on , it's not that bad .   No , it's so much worse . And tonight they invited me out to dinner . I really have no idea how I'm going to pull it off .   Rough . Maybe you can do the most of the talking .
