Woman: Oh yes.

Woman: No curtains, though.
House agent: No curtains, but we’ve got roller blinds.
Woman: Oh.
House agent: Yes, they’re nice and straight forward. No problems about that—don’t have to wash them of course. And…um…on the left of the…er…sofa there, you can see nice coffee tables.

Part C
Dave: Hi Randall. (Hi.) Come on in.
Randall: Uh, yeah, I stopped by to see if you were still looking for a roommate to share your house.
Dave: Yep. I sure am. Ever since I cut back on my working hours to go to school, I’ve been really strapped for cash.
Randall: Oh.
Dave: Hey, let me show you the place. Uh, here’s the living room.
Randall: Oh. It looks like you could use a new carpet…and those stains
Dave: 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.
Randall: Oh. And what about the kitchen
Dave: Right this way. Look. It’s completely furnished with all the latest appliances, except…
Randall: What
Dave: 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 just improvised by pushing a box against it to keep it shut.
Randall: Hmm. Great.
Dave: Ah. It isn’t that bad.
Randall: Well how about the bathroom
Dave: Well…
Randall: No, no. Don’t tell me. The toilet is clogged or the sink has a few leaks.
Dave: No, those work fine, but, uh, the tile in the shower needs to be replaces, and the window needs fixing.
Randall: Let me see. The tile…what The window Where’s the window pane
Dave: Well, that’s another slight problem. I’ve put up a piece of cardboard to keep out the (Hmmm) rain and snow, and if it gets a little cold, you can always turn up the heat. Well, you used to until the central heating went out. (Oh, boy.)
Randall: Hey, I think I’ve seen enough. I can’t believe you’ve survived under these conditions.
Dave: 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.
Randall: Uh, no thank you. I think I’ve seen enough.
Part II The dream house
1. My dream house would be a canal boat. I’d like to wake up every morning and see the water. Erm, I’d paint it bright red, and it would have a little roof-garden for all my pot-plants.
2. My ideal house would be modern, ermm, it would be made of bricks, and it would have white pillars outside the front door, and it would be detached…on yes, it would have a garage.
3. My ideal home would be to live in a cottage in a small village by the sea. Er, somewhere like Cornwall, so it’s unspoilt and there are cliffs and trees around.
