A: Hello, Betty speaking.

B: Hey, Betty. This is Larry. Tell me how many smoke detectors you have, please.

A: This apartment came with one, and I installed another one.

B: Are there fresh batteries in each of them?

A: Each detector beeps when the battery is low. They're not beeping.

B: Good. I'm calling all the tenants because I have to check all the detectors.

A: Okay, What day were you thinking about dropping by?

B: I'll be at your building at noon on Thursday. If you're not there, I'll let myself in.

A: If you're thirsty, you can grab a beer or soda out of my frig.

B: Thanks, but it'll only take me about two minutes to test them and leave.
