A: This is Janet Smith in apartment 23. May I speak to the apartment manager? B: Speaking. What can I do for you? A: Something happened to my window. It's broken. B: That doesn't sound good. Do you know how it happened? A: I don't know the exact details. B: Do you have an idea who might be responsible for the window? A: I'm almost sure it is the local kids in the apartments. B: How did you come to that conclusion? A: There was a baseball in my living room along with the broken glass. B: Well, at least there's no mystery about how it happened. A: I saw a group of them playing in the lot just before I went out to my car. B: Can you tell me which ones you recognized? A: I just looked at them for a second. B: I'll call a repairman, but it might take two days. A: How about if I call a friend of mine who is a repairman? B: That's no problem. I'll come by right now to look at the damage. A: Okay. Come on over. But tell me, who pays for this? B: You can pay for it, and I can reimburse you. Or he can bill me directly. A: I'm glad to hear that. I didn't want to get stuck with the bill. B: I will bill the kid's parents if I ever find out which kid did it.
