M: Well, hi, Mrs. Brown. How’s your apartment working out for you?
W: Well, Mr. Nelson. That’s what I would like to talk to you about. Well, I want to talk to you about that noise! You see. (1) Would you mind talking to the tenant in 4B and asking him to keep his music down, especially after 10:00?
M: Oh. Who? Me?
W: Why? Yes. The music is blaring almost every night, and it should be your job as a manager to take care of things.
M: Hey, I just collect the rent. (2)Besides, the man living there is the owner’s son, and he’s a walking refrigerator. Hey, I’ll see what I can do. Anything else?

W: You have to be kidding. Can’t anything be done about it?

W: Hey, you never told me about these problems before I signed the rental agreement.
