— Hello, Jane. Can I distract you for a moment?
— Sure.
— Could you help me? You don’t have to if you are too busy.
— No, it’s ok. You are not disturbing me.
— Well, I can’t figure out how to register on this website. Could you give me a hand?
— The website of the National Opera in Paris? I didn’t know you were into classical music.
— Yes, classical music has a positive impact on my mood and productivity. Aren’t you keen on it?
— I think I am better off with plain honest rock.
— Anyway, in a week I am off to my friend who lives in Paris. And there is no point in visiting Paris if you can’t go the opera.
— Do you expect there are any tickets left?
— I don’t know. But I got in touch with my friend. He said that even if there are tickets on the official website, we might be able to buy tickets from some people right before the concert.
— I doubt it very much.

— I’m sorry. I’m afraid I can’t, I must be off now and I’m very busy.
— It won’t take long. You’re in good shape, it will be easy for you!
— I’m sorry, I can’t. Is that ok?
— It’s fine. I just thought I’d ask. Anyway, thank you!

Dialogue:
— Sally, get into the car, we will be late.
— Could we wait a bit? Rose said she would come over. I haven’t seen her for ages. I miss her.
— Is she your old friend who is a chain smoker and never admits she stole my wallet last year? No, we’re not going to see her. Over my dead body.
— I see what you mean. Yes, she has some issues and suffers from tobacco addiction, but she doesn’t do it on purpose! And last month she managed to find a good job. And you should hold grudge against her. She means well!
— I am running out of patience. Go ahead and stay but I am leaving. But you have to keep an eye on her. She might steal your wallet too!

Dialogue:
— Mary, what’s bugging you?
— Don’t ask. Mind your own business.
— Hey, take a chill pill!
— Sorry, Bob, I am very stressed.
— What are you stressed about?
— Bob, I cannot conceal it anymore from you.
— What’s wrong?
— Last month I told you that I obtained a new job.
— Yes, you did. It was a dramatic change in your life. You were just a secretary and then became an assistant financial director. This is a huge success! It even makes me a bit envious.
— No, Bob, I deceived you. I was fired and I am still unemployed. And despite all my attempts I still can’t find a job.
— Why didn’t you want to tell me anything about it? I am always here to support you. You can always rely on me.

Dialogue:
— Hey, Lisa, wassup. You look under the weather, what’s wrong?
— I’m alright. I’m just losing my cool, George. I have always put up with everything my boyfriend said or did. But now I am really angry with him!
— Why are you angry with him?
— He is only interested in his friends. He is either watching football match with them or they are somewhere in a bar together. From time to time I believe that I am the only person he is not interested in.
— Oh, stop it. I am sure that at the end of the day he prefers you to a bunch of friends.
— Agh, it makes no difference! I am throwing away his things from my apartment! He is in big trouble now! And you can rely on what I am saying. He’s gonna regret it!

Dialogue:
«Hello, Nick,» said Harry.
«Hello, hello,» said Nearly Headless Nick.
«You look troubled, young Potter,» said Nick, folding a transparent letter.
«So do you,» said Harry.
«Ah,» Nearly Headless Nick waved an elegant hand, «a matter of no importance. . . . It’s not as though I really wanted to join. . . . Thought I’d apply, but apparently I ’don’t fulfill requirements’ -»
«But you would think, wouldn’t you,» he said suddenly, «that getting hit forty-five times in the neck with a blunt axe would qualify you to join the Headless Hunt?»
«Oh — yes,» said Harry, surprised.
«I mean, nobody wishes more that my head had come off properly, I mean, it would have saved me a great deal of pain and ridicule. However -» Nearly Headless Nick shook his letter open and read furiously: «’We can only accept huntsmen whose heads have parted company with their bodies. It is with the greatest regret, therefore, that I must inform you that you do not fulfill our requirements. With very best wishes, Sir Patrick Delaney-Podmore.’»
Nearly Headless Nick took several deep breaths and then said, in a far calmer tone, «So — what’s bothering you? Anything I can do?»

Dialogue:
— Are there free tables?
— Yes, sir. Come this way please.
— Finally we have some time to eat out, James. It’s brilliant that you came up with an idea to visit a Mexican restaurant. I’m looking forward to this meal!
— I’m glad you approve, Sarah.
— Are you ready to order?
— Yes, I’ll try chicken breast. The menu says it’s covered with chili sauce. How hot is it?
— It’s Mexican cuisine, sir, so pretty hot. You have to watch out for spices.
— I’ll have something else then. Can you recommend anything?
— Well, why don’t you have a steak? It’s our speciality.
— I wonder if I can have it served with vegetables?
— How do you like your steak done?
— Rare, almost raw. And two glasses of red wine, please.
— What would you like, ma’am?
— I’ll have the same. And could I have clean cutlery? This fork and knife are dirty.
— Of course, ma’am. I’ll bring it to you in no time!

— We have been waiting for hours, James! It pisses me off!
— Compared to other restaurants, this one is the worst so far. They should definitely improve their service.
— The waiter hasn’t turned up for an hour already. Never even approached us.
— But I’m not sure I can get by without a meal today, Sarah. I will die of hunger! Look! They are bringing you your cutlery.
— Too little, too late. We are leaving this place! I can’t put up with this service anymore. Let’s go.
