听力原文：Man: Hello. Woman: Hello, Sam. This is Paula Handson. Sorry to bother you. But I'm having a small problem I though you might be able to help me with.

Man: Sure, Paula. What's up？

Woman: Well, you know Sarah and I moved into an off-campus apartment in the fall. over on the west side of town？ Anyway we've been happy with it until the past couple of months.

Man: Yeah. What happened？ Woman: Well, the dishwasher broke down. SO we reported it to Ms Connors, the owner, she said she'd take care of it. But a month went by and nothing happened.

Man: Did you get back in touch with her？

Woman: I got a repairperson to give me an estimate, then I sent it to her. When I didn't hear from her, I had the repair done. And I deducted the cost from the rent check.

Man: So what's the problem？

Woman: She called here mad as a hornet. She said she could have gotten the repair done for less money. Now she's threatening to evict us for not paying the full rent.

Man: Hold on, Paula. It does sound pretty serious. But I'm sure you can all sit down and work this out.

Woman: Well, you are over at the law school. So I wondered ff you would mind coming with Sarah and me when we go to talk to Ms. Connors. We're supposed to meet with her tomorrow night at eight.

Man: Sure. I haven't studied a lot about contracts yet. But I'd be glad to help you straighten things out. Why don't I stop by at around 7:30？

Woman: Thanks, Sam. You're a lifesaver.
