documents: #Person1#: Hello?
  #Person2#: Hello, Sam. This is Paula Hanson, Sorry to bother you, but I'm having a small problem I thought you might be able to help me with.
  #Person1#: Sure, Paula. What's up?
  #Person2#: Well, you know Sarah and I moved into an off-campus apartment in the fall,on the west side of town. Any way, we've been happy with it until the past couple of months.
  #Person1#: Yeah. What happened?
  #Person2#: Well,the dishwasher broken down,so we reported it to Ms. Corners,the owner. She said she'd take care of it, but a month went by and nothing happened.
  #Person1#: Did you get back in touch with her?
  #Person2#: I got a repairperson to give me an estimate,and then I sent it to her. When I didn't hear from her,I had the repair done. And I deducted the cost from the rent check.
  #Person1#: So what's the problem?
  #Person2#: She called here madly. She said she could have gotten the repair done for less money. Now, she's threatening to expel us for not paying the full rent.
  #Person1#: Hold on, Paula. It does sound pretty serious. But I'm sure you can all sit down and work this out.
  #Person2#: Well,you're over at the law school. So, I wondered if you would mind coming with Sarah and me when we go to talk to Ms. Corners. We're supposed to meet with her tomorrow night at eight.
  #Person1#: Sure. I haven't studied a lot about contracts yet,but I'll be glad to help you straighten things out. Why don't I stop by about 7:30?
  #Person2#: Thanks Sam. You are our lifesaver.
