Gary：Kate, you’ll never believe what’s happened!

Kate：What do you mean?

Gary：Marcia and Harold are getting divorced。

Kate：You’re kidding! What happened?

Gary：Well, I don’t really know, but I heard that they are having a separation for two months and have filed for divorce。

Kate：That’s really surprising. I always thought they were well-matched. What about the kids? Who will get custody?

Gary：Marcia. It seems quite amicable—no squabbling over who’ll get the house and stuff—an uncontested divorce with all the details worked out。

Kate：That’s a change from all the back-stabbing we usually hear about…While I still can’t believe it—Marcia and Harold! The perfect couple! When will the divorce be final?

Gary：Early in the new year, I guess。
