Girl

There's a bit of wind today. It's quite cool.

Boy

Thank goodness. It was so hot last week, I am quite happy it's a bit cooler.

Girl

Really, did you go night clubbing on the weekend?

Boy

Yes, you really missed out. It was a great laugh.

Girl

Really, where did you go?

Boy

We went to the city center. It was so crowded, even at 2.00 in the morning!

Girl

Excellent. Did you meet anybody?

Boy

Not this time. Dave met a nice girl.

Girl

Good for him. Did you eat out, then?

Boy

Of course. We went to a nice fish restaurant.

Girl

You only do those things when I am not around. When I go out with you we only go to pizzerias. Typical!

Boy

I told you, you missed out.

Girl

Did you eat well, at least.

Boy

Of course. And we had a great bottle of white wine.

Girl

Did Dennis go too?

Boy

No, he stayed in, like normal.

Girl

What about Jim?

Boy

Yes, he was there.

Girl

So, what time did you get home, in the end?

Boy

It was about four o'clock.
