M: Pretty good. Listen. I was wondering if I could use your video game system over the weekend.

S: You mean my Sony Play Station?

M: Yeah. My sister’s asked me to take care of my niece and nephew over the weekend – they’re six and eight –

and I thought it would be a great way to keep them busy.

S: That’s a good idea – kids that age love video games – but, well, I have bad news: My machine isn’t working.

I’ve been meaning to take it in to get fixed, but I haven’t gotten around to it. M: Oh, too bad.

S: But you know you can always rent one. Most video stores have machines to rent. You just have to leave a deposit.

M: Oh, perfect. I’ll do that. Thanks, Sandy. S: No problem. 3. Phil

Phil: Hi, Greg. It’s Phil.

Greg: Hi. What’s up?

P: Not much, but I was wondering if I could ask you for a favor. G: Hmm…maybe. Try me!

P: Well, I have to go out of town for a few days next week. G: Uh-huh.

P: Could I leave Polly with you while I’m gone? G: Polly? Who’s Polly?

P: You know – Polly, my bird.

G: Oh, yeah. I forgot, your bird. I don’t know, Phil. I really don’t like birds very much. They’re messy, and they make a lot of noise, and…

P: No, not Polly. She’s really a great bird. She’s really clean and very quiet. She won’t bother you – I promise. G: Oh, all right. I’ll do it.

P: Thanks. I really appreciate it. I’ll bring her over on Tuesday night. G: OK. But you owe me one! P17

J: And would you ask her if she’d like to go with me? A: All right, Peter. I’ll give her the message. J: No, this is Jeff, not Peter. A: Oh, I’m sorry.

J: By the way, who’s Peter?

B Listen to Amy talking to Sophia. Who is Peter? Is Sophia going to go to the party with Jeff? Sophia: Hi! I’m home! A: Oh, hi.

S: Did anyone call?

A: Uh-huh. Your old friend Peter called a few hours ago. He’s going to be in town on Saturday and wants to get together with you Saturday night. He said to call him. S: Oh, super! I haven’t seen Peter in almost a year. Any other calls?

A: Uh, yeah. Jeff called. He wants to know if you want to go to Tony’s party with him. S: Oh. When is Tony’s party? A: On Saturday.

S: Oh, perfect. That’s the same night I’m going to get together with Peter, so I have an excuse not to go. Even if I weren’t going out with Peter, I wouldn’t go anywhere with Jeff. Oh, he’s such a pain!

A: Oh, he didn’t sound so bad. He sounded kind of sweet.

S: Yeah, yeah, I guess he is. It’s just that I don’t want to go out with him – and he just doesn’t seem to get the message. Do me a favor. Amy: If he calls again, could you just tell him I’m not home? A: Hmm. OK. Unit 4 What a story! P20

J: Yeah. On and listen to this. Some guy got locked out of his house, so he tried to get in through the chimney.
