1-- Hi, this is Nicole.
2-- Nicole, it's Richard. You know why I'm calling.
1-- Yes, I know. It's the rent, isn't it?
2-- Yes, just like last month, your rent is overdue.
1-- What about my grace period?
2-- Are you getting Alzheimer's? There is no grace period in the rental agreement.
1-- Sometimes my memory isn't so good. Maybe I do have Alzheimer's.
2-- I'm looking forward to receiving your check in the very near future.
1-- Is Monday okay? I get paid tomorrow.
2-- Remember that the check amount must include the $50 late fee.
1-- Okay, if the rental agreement actually has a late fee, I'll pay the $50.
2-- Look at your agreement. There's a big red circle around the late fee.
1-- As soon as I find my rental agreement, I'll read it again.
2-- I'm not giving you any more chances. Be late again, and you'll be evicted.

1-- 嗨,我是妮可。
2-- 妮可,我是理查德。你知道我打电话的原因。
1-- 是的,我知道。这是租金,不是吗?
2-- 是的,就像上个月一样,你的房租已经逾期了。
1-- 我的宽限期怎么样?
2-- 你患老年痴呆症了吗?租赁协议中没有宽限期。
1-- 有时我的记忆力不太好。也许我确实患有老年痴呆症。
2-- 我期待着在不久的将来收到你的支票。
1-- 星期一可以吗?我明天领工资。
2-- 请记住,支票金额必须包括50美元的滞纳金。
1-- 好吧,如果租赁协议真的有滞纳金,我会付50美元。
2-- 看看你的协议。滞纳金周围有一个红色的大圆圈。
1-- 我一找到我的租赁协议,就会再读一遍。
2-- 我不会再给你任何机会了。再迟到,你就会被赶出去。
