Richard is driving Vic to his place.

— I'd love to stay with your people tonight. Are we going to your apartment?

— Oh, no. My real home is a country house on Long Island.

— Is it very far from New York?

— No, it isn't. Most days I drive there. But a few nights a month I have to stay in my apartment.

— You have to?

— Yes, when I work late in my office. But that doesn't happen very often.

— I've heard a lot about traffic jams. Do they happen often?

— Yes, they do. And sometimes I have to take a train with thousands of other commuters.

— How long does it take to get there?

— It usually takes an hour.

— Is your house big?

— We've moved just recently. We can afford a bigger house now.

— I've heard houses are pretty expensive, aren't they?

— Yes, they are.

— Did you buy it?

— Yes, I did. But it isn't quite my own.

— What do you mean?

— I made a down payment of 30% and took out a loan from the bank.

— What's your payment plan?

— I have to pay it back over thirty years.

— But it's worth it, of course.

— I wish we had an office like this in Petersburg. — I wish I hadn't said it. — I'm sorry I didn't know about your arrival. — It's a pity you are so short of lime. We could see some more of the city. — I'm sorry I can't stay any longer. I've got to go. — Too bad I can't accompany you to Washington. I'm going to be busy the whole week.

— Isn't yours as good? — It's right, I understand. — It's all right, Richard's 14 met me. — I wish I could. — That's a shame. I wish you could stay to meet the family. — Yes, I wish we could spendmore time together.
