Customer care staff: Well, do you have a problem with your electricity bill?

Peter: The last bill I received seemed a bit high.

Customer care staff: I will check for you. Can I have your account number?

Peter: I'm afraid I don't have that right now.

Customer care staff: It's okay. I'll look your name up in our database.

Peter: Great. Thank you.

Customer care staff: Could you give me your last name as well?

Customer care staff: We will have an answer for you by the end of the day.

Lucy: It was good to talk to you. Thank you very much for phoning.

Male: No problem. By the way, how is your work these days? I heard you got in trouble with your boss, right?

Male: It sounds serious.

Lucy: We had a big argument.

Male: What a shame. You must have been very sad.

Lucy: It's true. Right, Johnny. I must fly. I'm late for a meeting.
