Just like me. Was it good? Did you have fun? How do you like this suit? How did you like it? Did you like it? What do you think of it? How did things turn out? To make a long story short. Just tell me the story in a nutshell. Let me know the circumstances. A piece of cake. So far so good. So so. That's about it. It was nothing. There's nothing to it. It worked. It needs work. Almost.

I see. Uh huh. You have? Is that right? That's right. Exactly. Oh yeah. Is that so? And? Me too. Neither do I. Don't be silly. That's too bad. Are you sure? What a shame. Good. What a surprise. I hope not. I hope so. Great. Unbelievable. No kidding. You bet. Well. Let me see. I mean. It's on the tip of my tongue. What should I say? I don't know quite how to put this. Beats me. What do you call it? You've got me.
Say something. Tell me more about it. How was your trip? I'm all ears. How was the meeting? I'm listening. I'd like to hear the story. We had small talk. How was the movie? Did you enjoy the play? I want to talk about it now. Shoot. Let's talk in English. Let's have a chat. To the point please. How was your day? Let's change the subject. Let's get back to the subject. I don't want to talk about it now. Let's talk about it later. To change the subject. Well, all joking aside. By the way. You were saying. That reminds me. Let's stop talking. I've heard the story before. Let's drop the subject. Don't say it so loud.
I've decided. It's up to you. You decide. This is the important point. This is my personal problem. It's a matter of life and death. You're free to go or stay. There's no turning back. Let's play it by ear. I'm sure I can do it. I'm still unable to decide what to do. I'll follow her. Let's all get together and act as one. I have to do it anyhow. It's now or never. The sooner the better. I'll take a chance. I have more guts. Let's finish it somehow. It's worth a try. We must function as one mind and one body. It's all or nothing.
