A: Joe, how are you doing today?
B: Pretty good. Mary, I was wondering if you would like to come to a party on Friday night?
A: I am free that night, and a party sounds good.
B: Fine. It will be at my house. Do you know how to get there?
A: I kind of know where you live, but could you e-mail me your address?
B: I can do that. Do you have anyone that you would like to bring with you to the party?
A: I would really like to bring my friend Jake, if that would be OK.
B: Oh yeah, I remember Jake. That would be fine.
A: Would you like some help with the food?
B: Just bring along whatever it is that you and Jake would like to drink.
Martha: What horrible weather today. I'd love to go out, but I think it will just continue raining.
Jane: Oh, I don't know. Perhaps the sun will come out later this afternoon.
Martha: I hope you're right. Listen, I'm going to have a party this Saturday. Would you like to come?
Jane: Oh, I'd love to come. Thank you for inviting me. Who's going to come to the party?
Martha: Well, a number of people haven't told me yet. But, Peter and Mark are going to help out with the cooking!
Jane: Hey, I'll help, too!
Martha: Would you? That would be great!
Jane: I'll make lasagna!
Martha: That sounds delicious! I know my Italian cousins are going to be there. I'm sure they'll love it.
Jane: Italians? Maybe I'll bake a cake...
Martha: No, no. They're not like that. They'll love it.
Jane: Well, if you say so... Is there going be a theme for the party?
Martha: No, I don't think so. Just a chance to get together and have fun.
Jane: I'm sure it'll be lots of fun.
Martha: But I'm going to hire a clown!
Jane: A clown! You're kidding me.
Martha: No, no. As I child, I always wanted a clown. Now, I'm going to have a clown at my own party.
Jane: I'm sure everyone will have a good laugh.
Martha: That's the plan!
