Lucy: Here it is! It was lost in the clutter on my desk. I have to get better organized! Lucy：在這裡！它掉在我桌上那堆雜七雜八的東西裡。我得更有組織點才行！
Ted: No problem! There are a ton of things on my desk that have to be filed, too! Ted：沒關係！我桌上也是一大堆東西等著要被歸檔！
T Lucy: So are you going to have the contract looked over by anyone after you're finished? Lucy：那你完成合約之後，有要讓誰檢查過一遍嗎？

Ted: So true. No one ever quibbles with that truism! Ted：一點都沒錯。沒人會反駁這真理！
Lucy: Are you familiar with drafting lease agreements? Lucy：你知道怎麼撰寫租賃契約嗎？
Ted: No. Why? Ted：不知道。為什麼這樣問？
Lucy: Because I'm going to rent my apartment and I must have the tenant sign a lease. Lucy：因為我要出租我的公寓，我必須得讓房客簽合約。
