A phone call between two young men
|
(The phone rings and a man wearing a yellow bicycle shirt answers.) Matt: Hello |
This is Matt. |
|---|---|
| Wellington: Matt, my man! What’s up? |
This is Wellington. |
| Matt: Not much, dude. What’s up with you? |
 |
| Welington: Nothin. Say, I was just thinking about going over to Sarah’s to hang out if you want to come along. |
 |
| Matt: Aww, dude! I’d love to but I have to work this afternoon. |
|
| Wellington: Well, that sucks. |
|
|
Matt: Yeah, but it’s okay ’cause I really need the cash. |
|
| Wellington: Yeah, no kidding. You still owe me ten bucks, Dude. What time are you getting off? |
|
| Matt: I’ll be done around 10. I’m going over to The Dive after that. Meet me there. | |
| Wellington: Okay, I’ll see you then. Talk to you later. |
|
|
Matt: Later. later: goodbye |
