A: Excuse me, Mrs. Coleman? Can I help you with those bags? They look pretty heavy.

B: Oh, thank you Brian.

That’s very kind of you. If you could take this one… It has most of the heavy stuff. I can manage with this other one.

A: Sure, no problem. I’m surprised you didn’t just have these delivered.

B: Normally I do, but the driver for the supermarket was off today. I really appreciate the help.

Carrying these bags up all those stairs would be hard at my age.

A: My pleasure.

A: Oh, Hi Cindy. Was my music too loud? I can turn it down.

B: Oh, no. It’s fine.

I just came over to ask if you have a hammer that I can borrow.

A: A hammer?

B: Yeah, my brother got me this beautiful painting for my birthday, and I want to hang it on my wall.

A: It’s your birthday today?

B: Uh, yesterday actually.

A: Well, happy birthday anyway. Let me go get you that hammer.

B: Thanks.

A: Hello?

B: Hello? Mrs. Choi?

A: Yes?

B: This is Kyle Rutherford from down the street. Are you by any chance having a party this evening?

A: Yes, I am actually.

B: I see. Well, some of your guests have parked in front of my house and their cars are actually blocking my driveway.

I need to go downtown, but I can’t get my car out.

A: I’m so sorry I’ll ask them to move their cars right away.

B: Thank you.

A: Excuse me. Hi. My name’s Jack.

B: Hi Jack. I’m Marissa.

A: Nice to meet you.

So it looks like we’re going to be neighbors, huh?

B: Yeah. I guess so.

A: Are you moving in all by yourself?

B: My brother is supposed to be helping me. But I’m not sure where he is.

I’ve called him a couple of times, but I haven’t gotten an answer.

A: Well, if you’d like, I can help you until he gets here.

B: Oh, I couldn’t ask you to do that. We Just met.

A: It’s no problem, really. After all, what are neighbors for?

5

A: Yes?

B: Uh. Hi.

It’s Mr. Whittemore, right? I’m Hillary Wilson. I live two doors down. We’ve passed each other a few times in the hallway.

A: Oh yes. of course.

Hello.

B: I know we don’t know each other very well, but my husband and I are going on a trip for our anniversary… anyway, we were wondering if you could pick up our mail while we’re gone.

A: Uh, sure. I guess. How long will you be away?

B: For two weeks starting next Tuesday.

A: OK.

Well, just leave me your mailbox key before you leave.

B: Great. Thanks so much.

A: Hey, Diane. Good morning.

B: Hi.

Ken. Do you have a minute or two?

A: Sure. What’s up?

B: Do you remember about two weeks ago, you came over to borrow our punch bowl for your party?

A: Oh my gosh! I still haven’t returned it.

B: Right.

A: I’m so sorry. I’ll bring it over this evening.

B: Great. While you’re at it, do you remember that you still also have Ryan’s tool set?

A: That’s right. I’ll bring that by, too.

B: We don’t mind lending you things, but it would be nice to get them back.
