1-- Hi, this is Betty.
2-- Hi, Betty. It's Larry. I need to know how many smoke detectors are in your apartment.
1-- There was one when I moved in. Then I added one.
2-- Do both detectors have fresh batteries?
1-- I always keep them fresh. I don't want to burn to death.
2-- That's good. I have to come by there and check out all of the detectors.
1-- Not a problem. When will you be here?
2-- I'll be letting myself into all the apartments on Thursday at noon.
1-- If it's raining, make sure you wipe your feet before you come inside, okay?
2-- Not to worry. I'll be in and out of your place in a flash.
