Dialogue13
1--You"re the only person who knows what reallyhappened.
2--That"s not quite true. Stan Bailey was there,too.
3--Oh. Was he there? I didn"t know that.
2--Well, actually, he wasn"t there all the time, but still I think he saw enough to give some valuable insight on the matter.
1--Do you think I should call him? Would he be willing to help?
2--No problem. You know Stan. He"s the kind of guy that"s always willing to go the extra mile.
3--Hey. That"s right. I remember one time when he gave up two days of vacation just to help me out with a problem I had.
1--That"s good to know. I guess I"ll give him a call today, then.
