Mike | Hello, Jack. Why the rush? Where are you going? |
Jack | Hello, Mike. I'm on my way to meet Joyce at the station. We're having dinner at a Chinese restaurant and then we're off to the theatre. |
Mike | Do you often go to the theatre? |
Jack | Yes, Joyce and I usually go at least once a fortnight; sometimes more. Do you ever go? |
Mike | Yes, but I don't often find time these days. There are so many other things to do. |
Jack | True, true. |
Mike | Listen, perhaps Janet and I can arrange to meet you and Joyce one Saturday evening. We can have dinner together and go on to a theatre. |
Jack | That's a good idea. Look, I forget the name of the play, but there's a good comedy on at the Theatre Royal next week. If you like, I can book four seats for next Saturday. |
Mike | All right. I'm meeting Janet later this evening so I can make sure that she's free next Saturday. I'll ring you tomorrow to confirm if we are coming. |
Jack | Fine. I must fly now. It's six o'clock already and
Joyce's bus arrives at ten past. She hates waiting around and I don't want to spoil everything by up- setting her before we start our evening. |
Mike | I'll phone you tomorrow then. Give my regards to Joyce. Have a good evening. |
