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.

Dialogue:
— Hello, Mark, how are things? You look unhappy and exhausted.
— Oh, Sonya, my life is so complicated!
— What’s wrong?
— I am a middle-aged man who lives in a dormitory. I didn’t live up to my parents’ expectations. I can’t score a good job. And I can’t find a compatible girlfriend. My life is a mess.
— Oh, no, it’s not true. You’re just fishing for compliments.
— No, really. On top of that, I can’t give up smoking and I know I should cut down on sweets. I can’t even persuade myself to go to the gym once a week.
— You are being to harsh on yourself. You are a very attractive guy and a good mixer. And you shouldn’t let other people’s opinion offend you.
— You’re right. I suppose I need to find a good role model... Maybe Chuck Norris. Yep, that’s right. I want to be like Chuck Norris.

Dialogue:
— John, shall we go out? I believe we spend too much time working.
— Oh, no. To be honest, I would like to stay at home tonight.
— You told me yesterday that you wanted to go to the cinema as far as I remember.
— Oh, yes, I suppose so. But it seems to me they don’t show «The Hunger Games» any more.
— I presume we will find something interesting to watch. By the way after the film we can go that fantastic sushi restaurant near here!
— I guess. Oh, ok, I’m in.
