The finding resulted that the fact of application of Grice‟s (1975) Cooperative Principle (CP) and Brown and Levinson‟s (1987) Politeness. They are realized in a different extent. For the application of Grice‟s CP, the data revealed not only the fulfillment of the CP maxims (61 dialogs or 73%), but also the flouts to the maxims (22 dialogs or 27%) where the major exploitation of CP are multiple flout to the maxim of Quantity and the third maxim of Manner with 14 cases (17%), whereas the remains are respectively flout to the maxim of Quality and the second maxim of Manner with 3 cases (4%) for each. Whereas, the data of Brown and Levinson‟s (1987) Linguistic Politeness, which are measured from the seriousness of the face threatening act (FTA), revealed not only the use of positive politeness (seeking agreement, solidarity, reciprocity) as the dominant strategy for 27 cases (33%) and negative politeness (being indirect, giving deference, and being apologetic) for 11 cases (13%) as the face saving action, but also some FTAs through baldly on record strategies with 5 cases (6%). Another fact is that about 48% of the dialogs are expressed neutrally on the sense that they do not utilize any politeness clues. Overall, findings show that the book representatively accommodates the Grice‟s CP and highly accommodates the Brown and Levinsons‟ (1978) linguistic politeness
