Two friends talk about cell phones.

B: Where'd you get it?
A: I got it at the mall. It was free with my new plan.
B: So what stuff can it do?
A: It has text messages, voice-mail, Internet and instant messenger too. I think you can even watch TV on it.
B: Cool. What about music? Can you use it like an mp3 player?
A: Umm... I think so. Let me look... Yeah, it has a USB card to hold the mp3s.
B: I think I may need to go get one too. How long of a contract do you have to sign?
A: Just a year, I think.
B: That's not too bad.

Two friends are in line at the post office and are losing their patience cause the line's moving slowly.
A: We've been waiting in line for like 20 minutes.
B: No, it's been like an hour.
A: No way. You always exaggerate. It does feel like way more than 20 minutes, though, cause the line's moving so slow. Probably cause there's only two people here.
B: I bet they have more than just two people here. They're probably just taking breaks or goofing off somewhere.
A: Finally, the line's starting to move.
B: Hey, I didn't know you get passports at the post office. I just saw a sign for it.
A: Yeah, I got mine here last year.
B: Cool. I still need to get mine. I haven't ever been out of the country, so I haven't needed one.
A: But you're going to Europe this summer, right?
B: Yeah, so I should probably get mine soon.
A: You should. It might take a while for them to send it too you.

Jake, a dog, is sick and needs to go to the veterinarian (vet). One person holds him, while the other drives the car.
A: So when did Jake start throwing up?
B: He's been throwing up every day this week. Poor thing.
A: At first, I just thought he ate some bad food, but if he's been throwing up every day, he's probably sick.
B: Yeah, I think he might have worms.
A: Hopefully not.
B: Well, he needs to get his shots anyway.
A: Do you have insurance?
B: No, it's not worth it. I only come to the vet like twice a year.
A: Ah, ok. So which street do I turn on?
B: 5th. Thanks for driving, by the way. I have to hold Jake whenever he's in the car, or else he'll get scared.
A: No problem.
