Barry : I don't know how to make this machine work, Mrs. King. Could you give me a hand?

Mrs.King: Oh. hi,Barry. It has been a long time.

Barry: Yes, Mrs. King. I just returned from my honeymoon. We wanted to do our laundry with our new washing machine, but neither my wife nor I could make it work. We believe there must be something wrong.

Mrs.King: Did you call the shop where you bought the washing machine to help you?

Barry : We did, but they have only one mechanic. We'll have to wait till next Monday.

Mrs.King: I see. Have you finished your laundry?

Barry : No. I was just trying to tell you that I don't seem to be able to make this machine work

Mrs.King: Oh, we got rid of most of the old machines. This one is new. Let me show you how to operate it.

Barry : Thank you. Mrs. King.

Mrs King: Do you have a dollar and two quarters?

Barry : Yes, here you are The old machines only took three quarters.

Mrs.King: Well, you know. Now, insert the coins, put your laundry in, put down this cover, press the "On" button, and set the time--twenty minute* will be enough--at the "Wash" setting Then set another ten minutes at the "Dry" setting All right Now you can go shopping or go home and come pick up your wash after a half hour.
