23. Ending a Conversation



1.

A: It was nice talking to you.

B: Why are you trying to rush me off the phone?

A: I really have to go.

B: Why? I still wanted to talk to you.

A: I have things to do.

B: Like what?

A: Don't be nosey.

B: I'm not. I just want to know.

A: Well, it's really none of your business.

B: That's harsh.

A: I'm sorry, but I have to go.

B: Fine.



2.

A: I've enjoyed conversing with you.

B: Is there a reason why you're trying to get off the phone so fast?

A: I've got to go.

B: I wasn't done talking to you.

A: I have to do some things, and besides, it's not polite to be nosey.

B: I'm not being nosey. I'm just asking.

A: I really don't think it's any of your business.

B: That's not nice.

A: I apologize, but I'm getting off the phone now.

B: Okay.



3.

A: I'll talk to you later.

B: What's the rush?

A: I have to get off the phone now.

B: I'm not ready to get off the phone with you.

A: There are other things I need to take care of.

B: What is it that you need to do?

A: Please don't be nosey.

B: I'm not being nosey, it's just a question.

A: You don't need to worry about that.

B: That was mean to say.

A: I am very sorry, but I must go.

B: I guess.
