Conversation #3

Man: What needs to be done for the party?

Woman: Lots. Let's see. First, the tables need to be set, and the chairs need to be brought down from upstairs.

Man: I can do that.

Woman: Great, but the chairs might be dusty. They may need to be wiped off first.

Man: OK, no problem. Do you have any towels?

Woman: I do. But they're in the washer. They might need to be dried first.

Man: Actually, you know what, they might work better if they're damp.

Woman: Good point. The washer is over there.
