Hi, Ann. I was wondering if you are free tomorrow night?
Well, George. I guess I am. Why do you ask?
I've just gotten a pair of pre-sale Star Wars movie tickets from a friend and was thinking of inviting you along for the opening premiere. Are you interested?
Yeah, definitely! Thanks for inviting me.
My pleasure.
I really wanted to watch the Star Wars on the opening day, but the pre-sale tickets were sold out. How did you manage to get hold of them?
A friend of mine works at the corporate headquarters of Pepsi, which is a major sponsor of the movie. He was able to get the tickets for free, and then he sold two more for me for 50 dollars a piece.
You paid 50 dollars for each ticket? That's a huge premium over the regular price.
Not really. Considering the fact that other people were willing to pay as much as 200 dollars each on the black market. Besides, I knew you were really looking forward to watching Star Wars on the opening day.
Wow! I am really honored you went through all this trouble just for my sake. I really appreciate that. So, what time are we going?
Well, let's see. The movie stars at 10. We should be there at least 1 hour earlier, because there is a big line. I could pick you up at your house at 8, if that's ok with you.
8 pm, that's fine with me.
Okay.
So I'll see you tomorrow then at 8.
Yeah, that's great. I'll see you tomorrow night.
Ok, George. Bye!
