Alma: I'm not surprised.
Patrick: What's the problem?
Alma: My brother in-law just dropped in from the states.
Patrick: Yeah, and?
Alma: I decided to put him up while he's here, big mistake!
Patrick: Why?
Alma: He's lazy. I tryed being a good host, but if you give him an inch, he'll take a mile.
Patrick: I guess you think twice next time he comes.
Alma: You can say that again.
Patrick: So how long has he here for?
Alma: Two weeks. If he thinks I'll put up with his attitude that long he's got another thing coming.
Patrick: Well, I know you do the right thing.
