Transcript (read it after you answer)

WOMAN: Hey Marcus, are you still set on moving this Saturday, or did the rain scare you off?

MAN: I'm keeping Saturday. The forecast turns dry by nine, so I'd rather not push it another whole week.

WOMAN: My cousin can lend us his van until three, but he needs it back for a delivery after that.

MAN: Three is tight, so let's flip the plan — boxes first, since they stack fast, then the heavy furniture.

WOMAN: Agreed, though let's not leave the couch for the very end. It barely squeezed through your doorway in the first place.

MAN: True. I'd rather wrestle it while we still have energy, so we'll load it once the van has a solid base.

WOMAN: Smart. I'll tape the drawers shut tonight so nothing slides open and spills while we carry the dresser down the stairs.

MAN: Thanks. Could you also grab a couple of moving blankets? The bare van floor scratched my table the last time we did this.

WOMAN: I've got two in my car already, and I'll bring gloves too; those cardboard edges tore up my hands back in June.

MAN: Perfect. I'll text Dev to meet us at eight — he's strong, and honestly he still owes me for that airport run.

WOMAN: Remind him gently, or he sulks. If we finish before noon, lunch is on me, somewhere with real air conditioning.

MAN: Deal. I'll confirm the parking permit tonight so the van doesn't get ticketed while it's parked out front.
