Sally: Ooh, who is the cake for?
Nicholas: It's for Liz, it's her birthday.
Sally: Oh really, I didn't know it was her birthday today! How old is she?

Miles: Hey, What's up?
Veronica: Oh, you'll never guess what happened!
Miles: What?
Veronica: Well I was late for work so I ran to the bus stop.
Miles: Uh huh.
Veronica: The bus came and I jumped on. When I wanted to pay I realised I didn't
have my wallet.
Miles: Oh how awful!
Veronica: No no wait, it gets worse. The bus driver didn't stop for two blocks. It
took me twenty minutes to get back home. When I got home I realised
my key was in my wallet.
Miles: You're joking! What did you do?
Veronica: Luckily my next door neighbour was home and let me use his phone. I
called my flatmate and he came and let me in. He wasn't very happy
though!
Miles: I can understand that!
