What can be learned about the ice water?

W: Hello. This is Lucy’s Distribution. Can I help you?
M: Yes. I need some ice water delivered.
W: Are you completely out?
M: No, I have some, but not enough for the long weekend.
W: OK. I’ll send someone to deliver it for you this Thursday.

M: Have you thought of moving, Sarah?
W: We’ve thought about it, but my husband and I can’t afford it right now. The only thing we could afford would be living in the slums, which is something I don’t want to do.
M: Buying a new apartment can be expensive, but there are ways to find a cheaper apartment.
W: Really?
M: Yes, and sometimes the city auctions off houses to the community. You’d have to make a quick decision about the offer in a day, but you would definitely save a lot of money.
