Dad, can I go to a movie this week with Shannon?
Let me look at the calendar here. Hmm. When are you thinking about going to a movie?
Uh, we're thinking about seeing a movie on Wednesday after school.
Well, that's not going to work. You haven't practiced your piano at all for an entire week, so you have to catch up on that.
What about Friday?
Uh uh. Forget that idea.
And Saturday?
Well, you have to take an English class in the morning. And then, we have to clean out the garage. You said you'd help. Well, that should only take a couple of hours. And then, after that, you can go to the movie.
Yeah. Can I go and see the nine o'clock showing?
The five o'clock showing!
How about the seven o'clock showing?
And why are you so concerned about the show time?
Well, I don't know if I'll get all of my homework done before then.
Sorry, but I want you to get to bed early that night, and so, I can drop you off at the movie theatre about 4:30, so you'll have time to get tickets.
