Why is this place such a mess?
I’ll never sell it if it looks like a dump!
Hi, I’m Carmen.
What can I help you with?
I’m here about the apartment.

Are you sure? I don’t remember setting an appointment for today.
Yes, I called yesterday. I’m looking to buy an apartment.
Oh, I forgot! Come in. I’m sure it looks like much more than what you’re used to, but you have to remember what a nice neighborhood this is.
Are you really serious about buying this place?
May I see the rest of the apartment?
Don’t worry about it. Thank you for your time. Goodbye.
I can’t afford to waste my time if you’re not. I’m having a party in an hour.
