A. Now listen. What’s Jacob’s roommate like?

So how’s your new roommate working out?

Yeah. And he’s pretty easygoing. I’m always borrowing his stuff, and he doesn’t mind.

You’re right, she was pretty bad.

Yeah. She was always talking about people behind their backs.

You mean like we’re doing right now?!
