Conversation 1: Hello, Betty speaking. - Hey, Betty. This is Larry. Tell me how many smoke detectors you have, please.

This apartment came with one, and I installed another one. - Are there fresh batteries in each of them?

Each detector beeps when the battery is low. They're not beeping. - Good. I'm calling all the tenants because I have to check all the detectors.

Okay, What day were you thinking about dropping by? - I'll be at your building at noon on Thursday. If you're not there, I'll let myself in.

If you're thirsty, you can grab a beer or soda out of my frig. - Thanks, but it'll only take me about two minutes to test them and leave.
