Summary: Script by Meropi Peponides Audio Index: Slow Dialog: 0:55 Explanations: 3:07 Fast Dialog: 17:37 Questions: 19:05 Fiona: Hi, Chris. How are you? Chris: Hey, Fiona. Thanks for meeting me here on such short notice. The thing is, I needed to ask you something and I thought sooner was better than later. Fiona: No problem. It worked out that we were both on campus. What’s the question? Chris: Well, I was thinking about how we have to move out of the dorms next year. Fiona: Yeah, I know. No more dining halls! I’m just excited about getting away from that lousy food, but of course that means I’m going to have to cook for myself. So I will probably be worse off. Chris: Yeah. Anyway, do you know where you’re going to live next year? Fiona: I hadn’t really given it much thought. Why do you ask? Chris: Well, I thought maybe you and I could share an apartment. If you don’t mind moving a little further away from campus, we could probably afford to have our own rooms. Fiona: Oh. Well, I don’t know if I want to move far away…It would be fun to share an apartment though in order to split the costs. Chris: That’s what I’m thinking. Or we could find a couple more roommates in order to to afford something near campus. If you could find another girl and I could find another guy to share a room with, we’d be set. Fiona: Maybe. Can I think about it and let you know? Chris: Of course! Take your time. We have a while; I just wanted to start apartment hunting early so we could find something good. Fiona: Sounds like a plan. I’ll let you know as soon as I make a decision.
