May: John£¬ did you talk to Albert last night?
John: No£¬ I hadn't heard from him for ages. Why?
May: That's weird. He called me to get your number and said he would call you right back.
John: Did he tell you why he called?
May: Well£¬ he said that he's got a huge contract with some company and would need to talk to you about it. He sounded really excited.
John: That was probably nothing. His actions speak louder than words.
May: Really? What makes you say that?
John: He's famous for paying lip service. I take what he says with a grain of salt.
