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