JEFF: "Yes! I cannot figure it out! Have you?"
CARL: "No. That's why I'm calling."
JEFF: "Do you want to work on it together?"
CARL: "I can't come over. I'm babysitting my younger brother."
JEFF: "Do you want me to go there?"
CARL: "No, my parents said I cannot have any friends over when I'm babysitting."
JEFF: "I see. Do you want to discuss it over the phone?"
CARL: "Ok. What have you done so far?"
