M: Hi, Shelley. Come on in.
W: Uh, yeah, 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. Hey, let me show you around 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...[11]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 pushed a box against it to keep it shut.
W: Hmm. Great. Well, how about the bathroom? ... No, no. Don’t tell me. The toilet is clogged or the sink has a few leaks.
M: No, those work fine. Well, there’s another slight problem. The windows. 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.
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.
