Avoiding Giving an Opinion


Ariel: I know you’ll give me the inside scoop 1. What’s going on between Sam and Matt? 


Paolo: You’re asking the wrong person. 


Ariel: Don’t be like that. You know both of them really well, and I know that Sam confides 2 in you. Don’t you think Matt is being unreasonable 3


Paolo: I really couldn’t say. 


Ariel: Why are you being so close- mouthed? I’m sure you have an opinion. 


Paolo: I’ve never given it much thought, to be honest, and I don’t think it’s any of my business. 


Ariel: But they’re both friends of yours. You must have at least speculated on what’s happening. It’s only human. Do you think Sam is going to leave Matt? 


Paolo: Your guess is as good as mine. I really don’t know anything and don’t have an opinion either way! 


Ariel: That’s just not possible. Okay, okay, what do you think is going on between Michaela and Carlos? 


Paolo: Ugh!
