Hi, Kate. Have you any plans for the weekend?
Yeah, I'm really excited, Jack. I'm going up to New York City for a couple of days.
My roommate's going to New York, too. Are you driving? Maybe you two could ride together.
No, I'm going to take a train to the Plain Station. I've already got my ticket.
So what are you going to do in New York?
I'm visiting a friend I met last summer at the music camp. I shared a camp with Laura and she's just moved to Manhattan. So I'm going up to see her new place.
You two probably have a lot to talk about? Didn't you tell me you were from New York?
No, I'm from California. I've never been to New York before. We are going to hear an opera at Lincoln Center on Saturday night.
