Anna: How is it going with your neighbor? Is he still complaining about your playing the trombone（长号） at night?

Jonathan: He was. But it's fine now.

Anna: How did you guys work it out?

Jonathan: Well, I agreed to not play after 10pm. And he agreed to not bang on the walls.

Anna: Sounds like you guys found a happy medium.
