Dialogue:

M: Is this table on the corner okay?

W: Sure, we can sit here. Be seated.

M: Gee, you've hardly got anything on your tray.

W: Yeah, I guess I'm just not that hungry.

M: What's the matter? Aren't you feeling well?

W: Well, I've been really worried. It's my car. It's in the repair shop again!

M: Really? What's wrong this time?

W: I don't know exactly. Something's wrong with the brakes I think.

M: Well, at least that shouldn't cost too much to fix. Parts are cheaper for old American cars like yours. Did the mechanic say how much it would cost?

W: He said he'd call me with an estimate later on today.

M: Watch out he doesn't try to take advantage of you.

W: What do you mean?

M: Well, some car mechanics, if they think that someone doesn't know much about cars, they might try to overcharge that person.

W: Maybe so, but I trust this guy. He was recommended by one of my neighbors. He's done some work for me in the past and his prices seemed to be reasonable.

M: Oh, that's good to know. Maybe I'll try using him in the future. By the way, did you need a ride home after class today?

W: Oh, I'll sure appreciate it. It's really tough getting around without a car when you live off campus.

M: You are right, I think now you should think about moving back to your dormitory. If I were you, I would be fed up with those troubles.
