Roger: Why?
라저: 왜?
Jim: I'm having some furniture delivered to my house.
짐: 집으로 가구를 좀 배달시켰거든.
Roger: You bought new furniture?
라저: 가구 새로 샀어?
Jim: A dining room table and four chairs.
짐: 식탁하고 의자 4개 샀어.
Roger: What's wrong with the table and chairs you have now?
라저: 지금 쓰는 식탁과 의자는 뭐가 잘못됐어?
Jim: They're old. They don't go with anything else in my new house.
짐: 오래 됐어. 새 집이라 다른 거하고 안 어울려.
Roger: So you're turning into an interior decorator.
라저: 너 실내 장식가로 변신하는 거 같다.
Jim: Do you want to have my table and chairs. I'll give them to you.
짐: 내가 쓰던 식탁하고 의자 가질래. 내가 줄게.
Roger: I have to think it over. I'll tell you later today.
라저: 생각 좀 해보고. 이따가 얘기할게.
