Shannon: It looks like you’re ready for your
trip. You must be psyched.
Ignacio: Yeah, I am. I’m almost ready. I’ve
gone to the post office and filled out a form so
they’ll hold my mail while I’m gone.
Shannon: I could pick up your mail for you.
Ignacio: Thanks, but it’ll just be easier this
way. I’ve also called the newspaper office to
have my newspaper delivery
suspended. Tomorrow I’ll arrange
for my bank to automatically pay my
bills so I won’t have my utilities cut
off or accrue any late fees.
Shannon: I could pay your bills for you. I
don’t mind.
Ignacio: It’s nice of you to offer, but I’ve
got it covered. This morning, I took
my plants over to my neighbor’s house. He
agreed to water them for me while
I’m gone.
Shannon: I could have come over and watered
your plants. That wouldn’t have been a
problem at all.
Ignacio: Thanks for being willing to do that.
As always, you’re so helpful.
Shannon: Oh, I try my best...
Ignacio: I was wondering if I could ask just
one favor from you.
Shannon: Of course you can. Just name
it!
Ignacio: You know my dog, Rex...
Shannon: Oh, no...
Ignacio: I could board him at a
kennel, but he’s had bad luck at
kennels. Could you look after him
while I’m gone?
Shannon: No way!
Ignacio: Why?
Shannon: Why don’t you ask the people who
worked at those kennels where Rex has been?
I’m willing to pitch in, but I’m no
sucker!
