2.1 Invite Someone to See a Film 相约看电影

M: Hi, Ann. I was wondering if you are free tomorrow night?

W: Well, George. I guess I am. Why do you ask?

M: I've just gotten a pair of pre-sale “Star Wars” movie tickets from a friend and was thinking of inviting 1 you along for the opening premiere. Are you interested?

W: Yeah, definitely! Thanks for inviting me.

M: My pleasuer.

W: 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?

M: A friend of mine works at the corporate 2 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.

W: You paid 50 dollars for each ticket? That's a huge premium 3 over the regular price.

M: 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.

W: 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?

M: Well, let's see. The movie stars at 10:00. We should be there at least 1 hour earlier, because there is a big line. I could pick you up at your house at 8:00, if that's ok wiht you.

W: 8:00 pm, that's fine with me.

M: Okay.

W: So I'll see you tomorrow then at 8:00.

M: Yeah, that's great. I'll see you tomorrow night.

W: Ok, George. Bye!

M: Bye, Ann!
