[speaker001:] Jessie, I 'm afraid I can 't come back home for dinner tonight.
[speaker002:] Not back home for dinner again? That 's the third time this week!
[speaker001:] I 'm sorry. Our company has just opened. There are always too many things to handle. You know that.
[speaker002:] You don 't have to explain. Suit yourself.
[speaker001:] I apologize. You have my word, I 'll spend some time with you on the weekend. I promise.
[speaker002:] We 'll see.
[speaker001:] Thank you for understanding. I promise I 'll make it up to you.
