Lesson One
A:
Laura: Sorry, Victor!
Victor: Laura! "Sorry" doesn't cut it! You were supposed to meet me right here --- forty minutes ago! You're late, as usual!
Laura: Now! Now! What's a few minutes between friends?
Victor: You don't get it!
Laura: (Reading a note on the bulletin board) Oh, look! I must check them out!
Victor: Hold it! We had a date!
Laura: Come with me?
Victor: No way! I hate shopping with you. You try on every dress, and it drives me crazy!
Laura: Well, it'll only take a sec. Just a tiny peek at the new fashions. Aren't you coming in?
Victor: No, thank you. I'll wait outside.
B:
Laura: Hi, Victor! I'm finished. Okay. I'm ready to go on our date.
Victor: It's too late to catch the movie.
Laura: Give me another chance. Please!
Victor: Well, okay. I'll pick you up at 8 p.m. sharp. We'll go dancing.
C: Laura: Aha! 8 o'clock! Made it. Ready. This outfit should make up for all the times I was late. Hmmph! Now Victor's five minutes late. Who does he think he is, keeping me waiting? I went to a lot of trouble to look awesome! Twenty-five minutes already! Boy! I'm hot! ... Wait! I get it. Victor is trying to teach me a lesson...trying to give me a taste of my own medicine. Nine o'clock and he's still not here. I believe he actually stood me up!If he is not coming, I'll settle in for the evening and change into something comfortable.(A knock at the door).
Victor: Laura! Ready?
Laura: Victor! Err..
Victor: I was caught in a terrible traffic jam and didn't move an inch for two hours. Boy! Even though I'm late, you're still not ready!
