MARCO: Well, er... do you have a apartment now, Mary?

MARY: No, we don't.

MARCO: Oh, dear! What's the matter? Don't you like Mr Mac Penny's apartment?

MARY: No, it's horrible!

AIKO: It's very expensive too, Marco. He wants $1600 a month.

MARCO: Oh, I'm sorry.

MARCO: Hey, have a look at this newspaper!   

AIKO: Which house is it, Mary?

MARY: I don't know. Every house is the same!

AIKO: Yes, and every car is the same, too!

AIKO: Which number is it?

MARY: It's, er... no. 384.

MARY: Excuse me. Where's no. 384 please?

OLD LADY: Oh, you want no. 384? That's Mrs White's house! She's a very nice lady. She has two sons and one daughter.

OLD LADY: Her son is married to a very nice girl, and they have two children

MARY: Yeah, thank you. Where is her house?

OLD LADY: It's next to the police station.

AIKO: How far is it, please?

OLD LADY: It's about 500 yards. That isn't far, is it? You're young. I'm not young, you know. I'm an old woman! I'm 63, you know. 63! And my husband is 75!

MARY: OK, OK, good afternoon! Come on, Aiko.

MARY: Here we are.

MRS WHITE: Who's there?

MARY: Can we look at the apartment, please?

MRS WHITE: Wait a moment, young ladies.

MRS WHITE: I want to ask you some questions. Do you have any men friends?

MARY: Men friends? Wow - yeah, I -

AIKO: Oh no, Mrs White! We don't have any men friends. We're very good students. We only want to study.

MRS WHITE: Good! I don't want any young men in my house, thank you very much!

AIKO: Oh yes, Mrs White, I understand.

MRS WHITE: Now we can look at the apartment.

MRS WHITE: Come upstairs, please.

MRS WHITE: This is the living-room, and there is the kitchen.

AIKO: Where's the bathroom, please?

MRS WHITE: There's a shower in the kitchen - look!

MARY: What about the toilet?

MRS WHITE: The toilet! Here it is!

MARY/AIKO: Oh!

MRS WHITE: Well, this is the apartment.

AIKO: How much is it, please?

MRS WHITE: $300 a week.

MARY: How much is that a month?

AIKO: It's about $1500 a month. That's very expensive for us, Mrs White. We're only students.

MRS WHITE: Alright, my dear. You can have it for $1000 a month. But no men, understand?

AIKO: Alright, Mrs White.
