Glory, where are the car keys?
I saw you put them in your pocket.
I'm sorry, I don't think they're there.
They were in the right pocket of your blue coat, I'm telling you.
Hey, you're dead right! The keys were there all along.
Man, tell me how to find who's that annoying caller. I don't recognize the number.
He just keeps calling and hanging up?
Yes, and when I call back, no one ever picks up.
I bet it's your little brother. Call the number from my phone.
You're dead right! It was him.
See? Don't get stressed over such small things, Sam.
Sam, can you guess the speed of the latest super train?
Sure I can. It's faster than the normal train!
Clever answer. You're dead right, my friend!
