Don't talk with your mouth full!

Ken is walking with Leo while looking at his phone.
- Leo : I made Sara mad yesterday. I was late for our date. Hey, are you listening?
昨日サラを怒らせちゃった。デートに遅れちゃった。ねぇ、聞いてる？ - Ken : Yes. It's about your girlfriend who easily loses her temper, isn't it?
あぁ。すぐ怒る彼女の話だろ？ - Leo : Yes. Watch out! (Suddenly, a stranger on the bicycle bumped into Ken. He dropped his cell phone.) It’s dangerous to text while walking!
うん。気を付けて！歩きスマホは(or歩きながらスマホを使うのは)、危ないよ！
Meg and Amy are gossiping.
- Meg : Do you know that Ken has cheated on his girlfriend?
ケンが浮気していたって、知っている？ - Amy : You don't say. He has gone out with Kumi for more than a year. In the mean time, he has dated Miki as well.
そうらしいね。一年以上もクミと付き合っていながら、ミキともデートしていたんでしょ。 - Meg : Honestly, he didn't strike me as the cheating type. I've officially lost faith in men.
正直(に)言って、ケンが浮気するようなタイプだと思わなかった。男の人が信用できなくなったよ。
