Marie: Sure, no problem.
Mr. Evans: And can you get a newspaper for me at the store on the corner?
Marie: Yup.
Mr. Evans: This coffee is cold. Could you buy me a cup of coffee, too?
Marie: Sure.
Mr. Evans: Also, this shirt doesn't look very nice. Can you buy me a new shirt?
Marie: Of course.
Mr. Evans: Could you get me a new suit, too?
Marie: Yes.
Mr. Evans: And can you play the violin for me after lunch?
Marie: Certainly.
Mr. Evans: Could you fix my car tonight?
Marie: Yes, sir.
Mr. Evans: You didn't hear me at all, did you?
Marie: I'm sorry, what did you say?
Mr. Evans: Nothing. Nothing. I'm going to the store to buy a new tie.
Marie: OK.
(Mr. Evans leaves.)
Marie: Can I fix his car tonight? Yeah, right.
