Billは隣人のRickに新しいカーペットについて話しています。

Bill: We had the new carpet put in the other day. It looks totally different.

Rick: Was it really that bad I mean after all its just you and your better half.

Bill: I didn’t think so but now it’s like walking on marshmallows and you can really notice the change.

Rick: What color did you go with? Brown?

Bill: Are you kidding? I hate that color it is kindda gray but sortta white. This carpet was a little pricy but it’s good with dogs or cats. If they pee or anything like that it won’t be damaged, you know.

Rick: Well, I am glad you are so happy I guess I have to swing by and take a look.
