What are the two speakers going to do?

M: If professor Brown was willing to give us three days extension to finish the paper, maybe he should give us a few more days.
W: Jack, you shouldn’t make too many requests. It’s time for us to work hard to finish the paper.

M: I’ll move the sofa and then the armchairs over next to the bookshelf.
W: Let’s move the other chairs and the coffee table in front of the sofa.
