Now youll hear two long conversations.
Conversation One
W: Hi, Michel, hows everything going, and whats with the flowers?
M: Theyre for my wife.
W: Oh, a wedding anniversary or something?
M: To tell you the truth, it couldnt be worse. You see, I have to pick up my wife from the airport this evening, but while she was gone, there were a few minor mishaps.
W: Oh, really? What happened?
M: Well, I had some of the guys over Friday night to watch a basketball game on TV, but one of them got all excited, and started going around, waving his arms, and he accidentally knocked over my wifes 250-year old porcelain vase given to her by her grandmother, and broke it beyond repair.
W: Man, have you tried
M: Super glue? Yup, but she would be able to tell in a second.
W: Oh, wow. Youre in hot water now.
M: If it had been only that.
W: Oh, theres more?
M: Yeah, you see, the water from the vase spilled all over the manuscript of a book my wife has been writing for the past two years. It blurred the ink over many of the pages. And so one of the guys had the bright idea of drying the pages by the fire while we watched, uh, the rest of the game, but a spark from the fire must have blown out and burned the manuscript to a crisp.
