At the Movies?Chris and Lisa are seated in the movie theater waiting for Steve to arrive.
(Dialogue
1)
Chris:
I wonder what’s keeping Steve?
Lisa:
Oh, I forgot to tell you. He’s not gonna show
up. He called just before we took off.
Chris:
What kind of line did he
hand you this time?
Lisa:
Something about his car dying
again.
Chris:
What a bunch of noise.
He doesn’t even have a car. He gets around everywhere
by bike. I don’t know what he’s trying to
pull. The guy is a total flake.
Lisa:
You said it. That’s the
last straw. The guy lies like a rug.
I don’t know why we’ve put up with
him for this long. I’m telling you, if I run
into him tomorrow, I’m reading him
the riot act. This time, he blew it
big time. Man, I’m gonna have a
field day with him.
Chris:
Try not to lose your cool too
much. One thing’s for sure. It’ll be a cold
day in hell before we invite him to the movies again. By the way, do
you even know what this movie’s about?
Lisa:
All I know is that the critics panned it.
They all said the star kept blowing his lines.
But you can always count on one
thing…if a critic thinks a movie is a bomb,
it’ll be a smash hit.

Chris:
I wonder what’s detaining Steve?
Lisa:
Oh, I forgot to tell you. He’s not going to come.
He called just before we left.
Chris:
What kind of excuse did he give
you this time?
Lisa:
Something about his car breaking down again.
Chris:
What a lot of
nonsense. He doesn’t even have a car. He goes
everywhere by bike. I don’t know what he’s trying to
achieve. The man is totally unreliable.
Lisa:
I agree. That’s his last chance gone.
The man always lies. I don’t know
why we’ve tolerated him for this
long. I’m telling you, if I see him
tomorrow, I’m really going to scold him.
This time, he made a big mistake. Man,
I’m going to have a great time
yelling at him.
Chris:
Try not to lose your temper too
much. One thing is certain. We’ll never invite
him to the movies again. Incidentally, do you even know what this movie is
about?
Lisa:
All I know is that the critics criticized it
harshly. They all said the star kept making
mistakes saying his lines. But you can always depend
on one thing…if a critic thinks a movie is a bad
production, it’ll be a huge success.
