"Hey, there. What do the papers have to say about today's weather forecast? If the weather is good, I was thinking of running to the store to pick up a tin of tea leaves. Oh, and thanks for letting me stay here with you as your roommate. I, uh... appreciate it, really. I'm still trying to get back on my feet and glad you don't have anything against me being an ex-convict. If you ever got a side job for me, I'd be glad to do it. I can't guarantee anything, but I'll do my best."
