Drill

D'you smoke?

I do sometimes.

What a nasty cold day!

It's bitterly cold. But it's not nasty.

Would he lend me his player?

He might if you talked nicely to him.

You broke the window, didn't you?

Yes, but not on purpose.

I don't suppose it troubled you much.

It wasn't a great deal of trouble. But it wasn't altogether easy.

Can't I take this one?

You can if you insist. But the other one's better.

You will play, won't you?

I'd rather not.

Can I borrow your penknife?

It's not very sharp.

Well what about this colour?

It isn't exactly the shade I want

I want those shoes mended quickly.

I can't get them done today.

Let me know tomorrow.

I doubt whether I can give you an answer by then.

You are not trying.

I most certainly am.

We got here about midnight.

It wets earlier than that.

Alan's forgotten his umbrella.

He always leaves something behind.

Let me have them by tonight.

I beg your pardon, but it's out of the question.

Where has he been all this time?

He's sorry to be so late, but he was delayed at the office.

Your conduct was inexcusable.

Before you jump to conclusions, you might at least hear me out.

What did you think of the lecture?

It wasn't exactly sensational, was it?

She's an absolute failure.

Now be fair.

We'll leave before dawn.

Have a heart. Have a bit of sense.

I think it's going to rain.

Oh don't say that.

I'll have this one. No, this. I'm sorry.

Well, make up your mind. Well, say it as if you meant it.

Can I come home by myself, Mummy?

Well, be careful when you cross the main road.
