M: Do I just have too fill out an application?

M: That seems like a lot of trouble for a summer job.
W: Well. The homeowners want some guarantee that they can trust the house-sitter. You know, they want to make sure you're not the type who'll throw wild parties in their house, or move a group of friends in with you.
M: House-sitters who do that Sort of thing probably aren't paid then.
W: Usually they're paid anyway, just because the homeowners don't want to make a fuss. But if the homeowner reported it, then the house-sitter wouldn't be able to bet another job, So why don't you apply?
M: Yeah, I think I will.
