Alex: Hi Dave.
Dave: Hi. Have you got a minute?
Alex: Well, I'm rather busy at the moment ...
Dave: It’s just that, well, I was just wondering if you’re doing anything tomorrow evening?
Alex: Why?
Dave: Well, I’ve got two tickets for the Merlin concert and my friend has just phoned to say she can’t come.
Alex: Merlin? Oh, sorry I can’t. I’ve ... promised my girlfriend I’d help her fix her new computer.
Dave: No problem.
Alex: Sorry.
Alison: Hi Dave.
Dave: Hi, er ... Alison?
Alison: Yeah.
Dave: Are you free tomorrow night? I’ve got this extra ticket for the Merlin concert. Do you want to come?
Alison: Merlin? Oh, what a shame. I’m going to see a film tomorrow.
Dave: Oh, never mind.
Alison: Yeah. Another time, maybe.
Pippa: Dave!
Dave: Oh, hello.
Pippa: I’ve heard that you’ve got an extra ticket for the Merlin concert.
Dave: Yes, that’s right.
Pippa: Well, I’d love to come. I adore Merlin.
Dave: Wow! That would be great.
Pippa: Okay, so what time shall we meet?
Dave: The concert starts at eight.
Pippa: Why don’t we have something to eat before? There’s a nice place on the Square. We could meet there at seven.
Dave: Right. Yes.
Pippa: Okay, then, see you tomorrow.
Dave: Right. Yes. Wow!
