B - Neither can I. Have you worked downtown for long?

A - For about five years now.

B - So have I. I've worked here for five years and two months to be exact.

A - It was hard to get used to all of this traffic because I'm from a much smaller place. I was born in Rockford, Illinois.

A - Wow! What high school did you go to?

B - I went to Guilford High School.

A - No way! So did I.
