Man: Whatever happened to Linda? I thought she used to do a great job and she basically lived at the library.
Woman: I believe that was just the problem; it was not only ÒbasicallyÓ.
Man: You donÕt say!
Woman: ItÕs something about her ex-boyfriend threat ening her and now sheÕs too afraid to go home.

Man: But weÕll be able to get into the library again, right?
Woman: Give the woman a break.
