2-- This is Jack. Are you still interested in renting a room?
1-- Oh, yes.
2-- Would you mind answering a couple of questions?
1-- No problem.
2-- Since we might be roommates, I want to make sure there's no friction.
1-- You are right. We need to be compatible.
2-- Do you go out to clubs or bars a lot?
1-- I have been to only one nightclub in my whole life.
2-- Good. Now, do you expect others to pick up after you?
1-- Occasionally I might slip up, but usually I'm clean and neat.
2-- What kind of hours do you keep?
1-- The early bird gets the worm.
2-- I hope you're not a smoker.
1-- I can smell a cigarette from a mile away. It makes me gag.
2-- Your answers are great. Now, do you have a question or two for me?
1-- Just one question. What's the parking situation?
2-- This place allows only one parking space per apartment, so you'll have to park on the street.
1-- I don't like it, but I guess I can live with it.
2-- Okay, I think we'll be good roommates. Just call me when you're ready to move in.
1-- I can move in by tomorrow afternoon.
2-- That's fine. I was planning on being home tomorrow anyway.
