Example 2
Lynn: Hi, Julie. How’s it going?
Julie: Pretty good. How about you?
Lynn: Not bad.
Julie: Listen, thanks so much for referring me to Lorraine Holt. I met with her yesterday and she was very impressed with my résumé!
Lynn: It was my pleasure. I was happy to do it.
Julie: She’s going to pass my résumé on to someone else she knows who is hiring right now.
Lynn: That’s wonderful, Julie!
Julie: I’ll let you know what happens.
Lynn: Great. I hope you get the job. By the way, how is your cat doing?
Julie: Oh, poor Tiger. He got to the point where he wasn’t eating or drinking, so we had to put him to sleep.
Lynn: Oh, Julie, I’m so sorry. Tiger was a wonderful cat.
Julie: Yes, he was. I miss him so much. Anyway, I should get going. Mark is picking me up and he’s probably in the parking lot. Thanks again for your help.
Lynn: Don’t mention it.
Julie: Have a great weekend.
Lynn: You too.
Julie: Bye.
Lynn: Bye.
