Ending a Party 


Gunther: I think this party has run its course and I’m ready to call it a night. 


Maria: But there are still a few stragglers who seem reluctant to leave. How do we politely tell them to go home? 


Gunther: I’ll just make an announcement. 


Maria: Wait! That seems kind of rude. Let me try a few hints. I’ll tell them that we’re out of drinks. 


Gunther: If you do that, one of those guys is liable to offer to make a beer run. That’s not going to do the trick. 


Maria: What if I go over there, yawn, and comment on the lateness of the hour? That should be obvious enough without being too rude. 


Gunther: Those people aren’t going to respond to subtlety 1. Let me handle this. 


Maria: What are you going to do? 


Gunther: I’m going to do what bars do at closing time. I’m turning up the lights and turning off the music. 


Maria: And if that doesn’t work? 


Gunther: I’m going to yell “lights out, people!” and mean it!
