Woman: Yeah. My fingers are numb.  Man: So, do you often ski here?  Woman: No, this is my first time. Actually, this is my first time skiing ... ever.  Man: So, how do you like it so far?  Woman: The snow is great [ Yeah ...], but it's too crowded. You know, two people crashed into me on my first run, and some stupid skier was going way too fast ... drove me into some trees. [ Wow! ] I crashed and lost one of my gloves. [ Oh, man. ] Fortunately, I had an extra pair with me.  Man: Wow. Well, did the woman stop and apologize?  Woman: No, it was a man. I'm certain of it. He just ... he just laughed at me. Why do you think it was a woman, anyway?  Man: Uh, well, no reason. I mean, well, you know.  Woman: What? You know what?  Man: Uh, uh, nothing.  Woman: Yeah. You just wait until I find that guy.  Man: Uh, well, what are you going to do to him, I mean, if you find him?  Woman: First, I'm going to break his skis. [ Oh, well ... ] And then, I'm going to take his picture and post it on Facebook.  Man: Uh, don't you think that's a little drastic? Perhaps, it was a simple mistake. And how are you going to identify him anyway?  Woman: Oh, that's easy. He was wearing bright red boots and a purple hat ... um, just like yours. Heh, heh, heh ...  Man: Now, now, now. Wait, wait! Yeah. What do you mean? [ Yeah ... ] Wait! Why are you looking at me? You don't think it was me, do you? ... Do you like jazz music?  What was said before this conversation?

M: It's all right, Rita. Where have you been?  W: At the police station. I've lost my handbag. Or perhaps someone's taken it. I don't know.  M: Oh, no. What happened? Sit down. Was there anything important in it?  W: Important! My checkbook, all the papers I need for work.  M: Oh, that's terrible. But how did you lose it?  W: Well, as you know, I was with a friend all morning and we had lunch together. After I had lunch, I went shopping. And when I wanted to buy something, I couldn't find my checkbook. Then I remembered that it was in my handbag. And my handbag was in my car.  M: So you went back to your car.  W: But I didn't find it there.  M: And you went to the police station?  W: Not immediately. Before I went to the police station I called my friend's office. No luck.  M: You should go to the restaurant where you had lunch and look for it.  W: Oh, I should have done that.  M: Now you'd better telephone the manager right away.  What was said before this conversation?

M: I'm sorry, Ms. Perry. My house burned down last weekend. My family and I have been sleeping at my grandma's all week. I'm very stressed. I can't do my homework because my grandma's house is so loud and I lost my textbook.  W: Oh, no! Let's talk more about it during lunch. Can you come to my office then?  M: Yes, but I might be a little late. My grandma's kitchen is too small to make food, so I need to buy lunch.  What was said before this conversation?
