JESSICA: Hi, Molly?

MOLLY: Yeah, hi, Jessica, it's me. Listen, I'm sorry to be late, but I lost my keys.



JESSICA: Oh, that's too bad. I hope you find them soon, we were supposed to be at the party at eight o'clock right?

MOLLY: Yeah,I know. I just can't believe how long it's taking me to find them!

JESSICA: Well, did you retrace your steps?

MOLLY: What do you mean?





JESSICA: You know, did you check all of the places that you went to since you got home? For example, what did you do first?





MOLLY: Let me see. Well, I ate dinner.







JESSICA: So did you check the kitchen and the dining room to see if you set your keys down there?



MOLLY: Yeah, I did. I already checked the kitchen and the dining room.





JESSICA: But you didn't find them there, huh? So what did you do after dinner?





MOLLY: I watched a little TV in the living room after dinner. But I already checked for the keys in the living room.





JESSICA: No luck there either? OK, where you generally put your keys? Is there a place you usually put them?





MOLLY: Well, sometimes I put them in my top drawer, but I checked there first and the keys weren't there.





JESSICA: Hmm, I don't know what to say, I can't suggest any other place to look.





MOLLY:Oh, you're not gonna believe this: the keys were in the front door!





JESSICA: You're kidding! Too funny! Anyway I'm glad you found them, now we can go to the party.

MOLLY: Yeah, sorry I took so long to find them.





JESSICA: No problem, see you soon.
