Henry: I am so tired of my commute to work. Driving all those hours is just killing me.
Lance: Yeah, I know what you mean. I used to drive two hours to work each way. But now I live within walking distance of my work. It's great.
Henry: You're kidding. I didn't know that. Did you move?
Lance: No, I got a new job near my work.
Henry: Well, I don't think I can change my job, but I am thinking about changing my apartment. The one I have just isn't working out.
Lance: What's wrong with it?
Henry: Well, besides being too far from work, I'm having some problems with my landlord. He keeps raising the rent, but he never does any repairs. Everything is breaking down.
Lance: That's terrible. Listen, I think there is a vacancy in my apartment building. And my landlord is excellent. And I'm sure it would be closer to your work than you are now.
Henry: Really? But is it expensive? My budget isn't that big.
Lance: No, it's not that expensive. And it's furnished and the utilities are included.
Henry: That sounds great. I'd love to see it. When can we go?
Lance: How about now?
Henry: Sure. I'll drive.
