Ken:

Hello?

Jim:

Hi. My name's Jim Hant. I'm calling about the ad for a roommate.

Ken:

Oh, right.

Jim:

Ken:

Ken:

Uh-huh.

Jim:

Yeah, but he's asked me to leave by Friday, so I really need to find a place to live. I've had to move four times in the past year and, well....

Ken:

Listen, Jim, I appreciate your telling me about yourself. I like it when people are honest with me. Anyway, I have to talk to my other roommates about this, and I'll give you a call tomorrow to let you know what we decide. Why don't you give me your number?

Jim:
