Dialogue in Slang. Jim is telling Cecily about his house guest

Cecily: Hey, Jim. What’s going on ? You look like a basket case!

Jim: You can say that that again. Susan’s brother dropped in from out of town, so I offered to put
him up for a few days. He’s driving me up a wall. For one thing, he’s eating me out of house and
home. He stays up till all hours of the night watching the tube, then raids the fridge before he turns
in. The guy’s a bottomless pit. You should see the way he puts it away. He even belchies after he
eats.

Cecily: How gross. I can’t handle people like that. Does he at least give you a hand around the
house?

Jim: He doesn’t lift a finger! I bend over backwards cleaning up all day and he sleeps in until noon.
Oh, and check this out… then he gets on the horn with his friends and invites them over.

Cecily: Man, what a freeloader. You better do something quick or he’ll never hit the road. After all,
he’s got it made in the shade here.

Jim: You think he might stay even longer?

Cecily: Now, don’t go falling apart. If you’re that fed up, just kick him out… but do it with kid
gloves. I know! Tell him a white lie like you’re getting the house fumigated!
Jim: That wouldn’t be a lie!
