Conversation 1 – What

Woman: So, how is the new software development project going?

Man: Good, from what I've been seeing, we should be finished within this month.

Woman: OK, what I really need, at this point, is a basic version to show clients by next week. By any chance, is that possible?

Man: Well, I will see what I can do, but no promises. 

Woman: Really, you think you can do it?

Man: It won't be perfect, but I can get you a basic version of the software for promotional purposes. 

Woman: Great. That's what I was hoping for.
