[speaker001:] How was the party last night? Did you enjoy it?
[speaker002:] Oh, don 't talk to me about last night! It was the most awful evening I 'Ve ever had.
[speaker001:] Why? What happened?
[speaker002:] Well. Mary had promised to be my date, but she stood me up. I waited for her for a full hour in the cold wind.
[speaker001:] What about the party?
[speaker002:] It was boring. The music was too slow and the food was lousy and, above all, I was really sick of the same old crowd all the time.
[speaker001:] So how long did you stay?
[speaker002:] I left after the opening dance. I couldn 't wait to get out of there.
