Michael: No problem, what is it?
Arnold: I talked to Tom last night.
Michael: About our "household"?
Arnold: Exactly, it's a bit difficult to talk with you about it.
Michael: I know I haven't been the best flatmate recently, I am very sorry.
Arnold: I am glad you understand it.
Michael: So what did you want to tell me?
Arnold: That we think you should take a bit more care of the apartment.
Michael: I know, I expected it. I am sorry, I've had a difficult time recently
Arnold: No problem, you can always say that there are some problems so you won't do something, but we don't like that you're ignoring your commitments and our efforts.
Michael: it will change, I promise.
Arnold: ok, no problem :) let's talk when we're all home.
Michael: Tonight?
Arnold: yes
Michael: OK!
Arnold talked to Tom last night about the current situation at the apartment. Michael explains that he's been having problems lately and promises to care more about the flat. They agreed to talk all together tonight.
