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.
