M: Hi. Come in.
W: Hi. I stopped by to see if you were still looking for a roommate to share your house.
M: I sure am. Ever since I cut back on my working hours to go to school, I’ve really had a tight budget. Let me show you the place. Here’s the living room.
W: Oh, it looks like you could use a new carpet.. .and those stains?
M: Well, I know it needs to be cleaned, but I just don’t have the money to do it right now.
W: 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 and it won’t shut all the way. It needs fixing, but don’t worry. I’ve just pushed a box against it to keep it shut.
W: Great.
M: Ah, it isn’t that bad.
W: Well, how about the bathroom?
M: Well.. .It is fine, but, uh, the tiles in the bathroom need 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 on the heat.
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: No, thank you. I think I’ve seen enough.
