A Suspicious Neighbor

Patricia: What do you think of our new neighbor?

Ray: I don’t know. I haven’t met him yet.

Patricia: Me neither, but I think he’s a Shady character.

Ray: Why do you think that?

Patricia: Well, when he was moving in, I tried To shoot the breeze with him and he was Shifty. When I asked him what Line of work he was in, he was very Evasive.

Ray: Maybe he just didn’t want to talk to a Busybody when he was busy moving boxes. Have you thought of that?

Patricia: I wasn’t being a busybody. I was just being Neighborly. When I offered to help him, he practically Kicked me out of his apartment.

Ray: Okay, you must be right. He’s probably a Serial killer.

Patricia: I Wouldn’t put it past him.

Ray: Come on. My guess is that he just wants some Peace and quiet.

Patricia: He wants peace and quiet to do what? That’s what I want to know.

Ray: I think we should just Mind our own business.

Patricia: You can do what you like, but I’m going over there and I’m getting some answers. If I have tolive next to him, I’m Entitled to know something about him.

Ray: Why don’t you Leave the man alone? He’s entitled to some privacy. And plus, he probably won’t let you in.

Patricia: That’s what you think. I’m not Taking no for an answer.

Ray: That Poor man!
