Dialog to practice (sympathetic and insensitive) responses

A visitor to your house is embarazzed because has spilled his drink

Visitor: ooh, I've spilled my beer on your velvet sofa.
Houseowner: never mind, I don't like that sofa anymore.
Visitor: are you sure? You spent a big sum of money for this piece of furniture.
Houseowner: don't worry, I'm going to buy a new leather sofa made by Frau.
Visitor: Could you give me your old sofa?
Houseowner: I'm sorry I can't. I think I going to use it as a cat house.
