M: Hi, LiLy. Come in.
W: Uh, yeah, Dave, I stopped by to see if you were still looking for a roommate to share your house.
M: Yep. I sure am. Ever since I cut back on my working hours to go to school, I’ve been really strapped for cash.
W: Oh.
M: Hey, let me show you the place. Uh, here’s the living room.
W: Oh. It looks like you could use a new carpet.., and those stains?
M: Well. I’ve had a few problems with some former roommates. I know it needs to be cleaned, but I just don’t have the money to do it right now.
W: Oh. And what about the kitchen?
M: Right this way. Look. It’s completely furnished with all the latest appliances, except...
W: What?
M: Well, the refrigerator door is broken.., a little bit.., and it won’t shut all the way. It needs fixing, but don’t worry. I’ve just improvised by pushing a box against it to keep it shut.
W: Hmm. Great.
M: Ah. It isn’t that bad.
W: Well, how about the bathroom?
M: Well...
W. No, no. Don’t tell me. The toilet is clogged or the sink has a few leaks.
M: No, those work fine, but, uh, the tile in the shower needs to be replaced, and the window needs fixing.
W: Let me see. The tile.., what? The window? Where’s the window pane?
M: Well, that’s another slight problem. I’ve put up a piece of cardboard to keep out the rain and snow, and if it gets a little cold, you can always turn up the heat. Well, you used to until the central heating went out.
W: Hey, I think I’ve seen enough. I can’t believe you’ve survived under these conditions.
M: So what do you think? You really can’t beat a place like this for $ 450 a month. So it has its problems, but we can fix those.
W: Uh, no, thank you. I think I’ve seen enough.
