Me World Peace:  Recently?  It expired 6 months ago.

Dumas:  Yes, indeed.  May I ask you what your plan is right now in terms of selling the house?  Spring is the best time…

World Peace:  We have decided to stay.  We have no plan to sell.

Dumas:  I totally understand that.  May I ask you why you listed your house with the previous agents?

World Peace:  They are our friends.

Dumas:  Excuse me, sir.  What was that?

World Peace:  They are OUR FRIENDS.

Dumas:  I totally understand that.  Were you happy with their service?

World Peace:  Totally.

Dumas:  I totally understand that.  Was there anything you wish they could have done to sell your house?

World Peace:  We are in the middle of our lunch.  If you could excuse me…

Dumas:  I totally understand that.  I was just wondering if I could set up an interview with you and show you what we could do for you to sell your house.

World Peace:  No, thank you.

World Peace:  No, thank you.  Good bye.

Dumas:  I totally understand…
