A: This is Janet Smith in apartment 23. Can I speakto the apartment manager?

　　B: Hi. How can I help you today?

　　A: Well, my window facing the empty lot is broken.

　　B: Oh, that's not good. What happened?

　　A: I dont know. I wasn't home when it happened.

　　B: Do you have any clue who might have done this?

　　A: I have a feeling that it might have been theneighborhood kids.

　　B: Why, what leads you to that suspicion?

　　A: Well, next to the broken glass was a baseball.

　　B: Well, a baseball is certainly solid evidence.

　　A: I saw them playing just before I left my apartment.

　　B: Well, did you recognize any of them?

　　A: No, I just took a quick look.

　　B: Well, it'll take a couple of days to repair it.

　　A: A friend of mine is in the business. How about if I call him?

　　B: That's okay by me. First, let me come see the damage.

　　A: Come on over. So does my friend charge you or me?

　　B: Since you didn't break it, you don't have to pay for it.

　　A: That's a relief. I thought I was going to get stuck with the bill.

　　B: If I knew which kid did it, I would bill his parents.
