留學(xué)美國 Lesson 11:GOING TO A MOVIE[1]
Arif Siswanto, Michele Moreno
George: Hi, Heather, I was wondering if you're free tomorrow night.
Heather: Well, George, I guess I am. Why do you ask?
George: I have just gotten a pair of pre-sale "Star Wars" movie tickets from a friend and was thinking of inviting you along for the opening premier. Are you interested?
Heather: Yeah, definitely! Thanks for inviting me!
George: No problem.
Heather: I really wanted to watch "Star wars" on the opening day but the pre-sale tickets were sold out. How did you manage to get hold of 'em?
George: A friend of mine works at the corporate headquarters of "Pepsi", which is a major sponsor of the movie. He was able to get the tickets for free, and then he sold 2 to me for $50 a piece.
Heather: You paid $50 for each ticket? That's a huge premium over the regular price!
George: Not really, considering the fact that other people are paying as high as $200 each on the "black market". Besides, I knew you were really looking forward to watching "Star Wars" on the opening day.
Heather: Wow, I'm really honored you went through all this trouble just for my sake. I really appreciate that. So, what time are we going?
George: Well, let's see. The movie starts at 10 PM. We should get there at least 1 hour earlier because there'll be a big line. I could pick you up at your house at 8, if that's OK with you.
Heather: 8 o'clock? That's fine with me.
George: Okay good.
Heather: So I'll see you tomorrow at 8 then?
George: Yeah. That's great. I'll see you tomorrow night, Heather.
Heather: Okay, George. Bye!
George: Bye, Heather.
