\nI know as much as you do: S\u00e9 lo mismo que t\u00fa
\nWhat do I know?: \u00bfQu\u00e9 se yo? \/ \u00a1Yo qu\u00e9 s\u00e9!
\nWho knows: Qui\u00e9n sabe
\nHow would I know?: \u00bfY yo, qu\u00e9 s\u00e9?
\nI\u2019m not interested: No me interesa
\nAsk someone who cares: \u00a1Preg\u00fantale a alguien que le importe!
\nIt\u2019s nothing to do with me: No es asunto m\u00edo
\nI couldn\u2019t care less: \u00a1Me importa un pimiento! \u00a1Me importa un pepino! <\/p>\n
\nWhaaaat?: \u00bfQu\u00e9\u00e9\u00e9\u00e9? \/ \u00bfC\u00f3moooo?
\nNo way!: \u00a1No me digas!
\nWhat are you talking about?: \u00bfQu\u00e9 dices? \/ \u00bfQu\u00e9 est\u00e1s diciendo? \/ \u00bfQu\u00e9 me est\u00e1s contando?

\nClara: No tengo ni papa. Supongo que en tren.
\nDave: Puede ser.
\nClara: Aunque pens\u00e1ndolo bien\u2026 El a\u00f1o pasado fui a Par\u00eds en avi\u00f3n y el precio del billete era mucho m\u00e1s barato que el billete de tren. Creo que m\u00e1s de la mitad.
\nDave: \u00a1No me digas!
\nClara: S\u00ed, s\u00ed. Pero claro el billete lo compr\u00e9 con meses de antelaci\u00f3n. Si lo compras a \u00faltima hora puede que el avi\u00f3n te salga m\u00e1s caro. Qui\u00e9n sabe.
\nDave: Ya, claro. Hablar\u00e9 con mi amigo Jorge, que trabaja para Iberia. A ver si me puede comprar \u00e9l los billetes con su descuento de empleado.
\nClara: No creo que eso sea posible.
\nDave: Pues el a\u00f1o pasado s\u00ed me los compr\u00f3.
\nClara: \u00bfQu\u00e9 dices? Pero eso no creo que sea correcto.
\nDave: \u00a1Yo qu\u00e9 s\u00e9! Pero a m\u00ed el descuento me viene muy bien. No le digas nada a nadie \u00bfvale?
\nClara: No, no. A m\u00ed me importa un pepino lo que t\u00fa y Jorge hag\u00e1is. Pero puede que Jorge pierda su trabajo si hace cosas de este tipo.
\nDave: Eso no es asunto m\u00edo.
\nClara: Yo creo que s\u00ed es asunto tuyo si le pides a Jorge que haga algo que no deber\u00eda.
\nDave: No me interesa tu opini\u00f3n Clara.
\nClara: \u00bfEntonces por qu\u00e9 me preguntas?
\nDave: Te he preguntado por precios de vuelos, no por tu opini\u00f3n acerca de mis actos.
\nClara: \u00a1No me lo puedo creer! Espero que pienses bien sobre lo que le pides a Jorge antes de meterle en problemas.
\nDave: Vale Clara. Ya lo voy a pensar.<\/p>\n
