DIALOGUES

PART I

Bob: Do you mind if I use your phone to call my friend?

Bill: Sure. Would you rather use my cell phone or the one in my office?

Bob: The one in your office is fine. Do I need to dial anything special to get out of the building?

Bill: Yes. You should dial 9 and then your number.

Bob: If another call comes in while I'm on the phone, should I put my wife on hold and take it?

Bill: No, that's all right. If you don't answer it will just go through to my voicemail and I can call them back later.

Bob picked up the receiver and dialed 9 then his number.

Bill left the office, pretending not to listen to Bob's end of the conversation with his friend.

Finally Bob hung up.

Bill: I couldn't help but overhear you're having chicken for dinner tonight. Can I come over?
