W: Tom, do you have a minute?
M: Oh, hi, Cathy, sure. Anything?
W: Well, I’ve been meaning to talk to you about the situation in the office.

W: We can’t really ask him to stop having students come in for help, can we?

M:  Come to think of it? maybe it will be Ok. I’d like to have a look at that room.
W: Can we go there now?
M: Sure, let’s go.
