Getting Together

Walter: Well, come then.

Rebecca: Sure, if I’m in town. I’ll call you and let you know.

Mr Adams: What’s your boss like?

We Eat a Lot

Eva: Where are you going?

Mario: To the supermarket.

Eva: Again?

Mario: Yes, we eat a lot.

Eva: Do you want me to go with you?

Mario: Sure, if you can.

Eva: Good. The packages will be heavy.

Mario: There is a new health store right up the road; maybe since you guys eat a lot you should try and eat more healthily.

Eva: Maybe you’re right; we have all put on a little weight.
