Situation 5:
A Telephone Conversation
(Mike calls Sarah on the phone.)
Hello,may I speak with Sarah?
May I ask who’s calling?
It’s Mike Watson,from her U.S.History class.
Okay,just a second. I’ll get her.
(Sarah picks up the phone.)
Hello.
Hi,Sarah,it’s Mike.
Didn’t we just see each other?
You must really like me.
You know I do.But that’s not why I called.
You know my roommate Charles? Well he wants
to come with me to the party tonight.
Charles? Isn’t he kind of a bookworm?
Why does he want to come to the party?
Yeah,he does study a lot,but he’s not a bad guy.
And there will be so many girls tonight.
Maybe even he can get lucky.
I wouldn’t bet on it.But,yes,I’ll put
his name on the guest list.How do you spell his
last name?
M-A-L...
(Cutting Mike off.) Wait,wait,let me
get a pen and paper.
What was that again?
His last name is spelled M-A-L-I-Z-E-W-S-K-I.
Got it.Are you guys coming together?
Yeah.Should we bring anything?
No,we have that all taken care of.But be sure to dress
nicely;it’s a semi-formal event.
Don’t worry.We’ll both be in suits.
And ties,right?
Right,right.Although Charles’tie might be a clip-on.
Oh,you are so bad.I’ll see you at seven.
Don’t be late.
Okay,seven o’clock.I’ll see you then.Bye.
Bye.
