A lion jumped out in front of them and started snarling. The assistant said, "What should we do?" The politician replied, "I'm going to run for my life." The assistant cried, "We'll never be able to outrun a lion!" The politician started sprinting and said, "I don't have to outrun the lion my friend, I only have to outrun you." Better to be alone than in bad company. Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. When the cat's away, the mice will play. I told the mechanic... to check the brakes. Then I asked him... to look at the battery. He advised me to sell the car... before it fell to pieces. I promised my mother... I'd be home for her birthday... but my flight's been cancelled. I asked them how they felt... about their relationship. "I watch TV every day."/ She said she watched TV every day. "I am having my tea."/ He said he was having his tea. "I've been here before."/ She said she'd been there before. "They smiled innocently."/ She said they'd smiled innocently. "We'd never been so happy."/ They said they'd never been so happy. "I'll do this right away ."/ I said I'd do this right away. "I'm going to stop soon."/ I said I was going to stop soon. "I can't stand my job."/ She said she couldn't stand her job. "I may look for another."/ She said she might look for another. "I must go now."/ He said he had to go then. "I shouldn't take on any more work." She said she shouldn't take on any more work. "I might watch TV."/ She said she might watch TV. "Watch TV"/ She told me to watch TV. What did the teacher just say? I didn't hear him. He said he wants us to read Chapter Six. I didn't go to work yesterday. Did Mr. Jones make any assignments? Yes, he said he wanted us to read Chapter Six. To err is human, to forgive divine. The teacher demands that we be on time. I insisted that he pay me the money. I recommended that she not go to the concert. It's important that they be told the truth. I suggested that she see a doctor. She suggested that he should see a lawyer. The travelers were advised that the insurance was a fraud.
