Old: We’ve never had any problems previously.
Young: Oh you’ve had problems?
Old: We’ve not done.
Young: You’ve not done anything?
Old: It’s not happened before.
Young: No, if that’s the case then something needs to be done.
Old: You want to do something?
Young: What could we do?
Old: If we are okay…
Young: You think you are okay?
Old: Are we not?
Young: No, we are not.
Old: Is this new?
Young: I don’t know. Has it happened before?
Old: I hadn’t noticed.
Young: But if you didn’t notice…
Old: I wouldn’t know.
Young: No you wouldn’t know.
