Put in a (good) word for me

Janine: I’m going to my interview today. How do I look?

Larry: Don’t worry. You look fine.

Janine: Thanks. I guess I’m just nervous.

Larry: Don’t be. I’ll talk to the boss and put in a good word for you.

Janine: Will you really? Thanks so much for the recommendation!

Larry: My pleasure. It’s the least I can do.

I bet

Warren: Hey, do you see that girl over there? I bet I can get her number.

Freddie: What? No way. She’s out of your league.

Warren: Are you sure? Then put your money where your mouth is. Bet me 10 dollars!

Freddie: I’ll take that bet! That’s easy money.

——— Warren goes over, and soon comes back with the girl’s phone number ———

Warren: [smiling] Ten dollars, please.

Freddie: [handling over the money] Damn, how did you do that?

Warren: That girl I talked to … she’s my sister!
