　　so I've got to get some money together.

　　Todd: You've got to get money together on Saturday night?

　　Ruth: Well, I actually did try to do my forms today but I didn't manage to get anything done,

　　Todd: Yeah, but tomorrow is Sunday. Just do it tomorrow.

　　Ruth: Yeah, but I'm going to church tomorrow and so I'd rather get some done tonight.

　　Todd: Well, how long are you going to work?

　　Ruth: Tonight! Um, I'll probably do a couple of hours. Maybe I can come up and watch the end.

　　Todd: OK, well, what time do you think you'd be able to come up? Cause we can just do different stuff².

　　You know Akane, she's always cleaning. I'm sure she'd love to go back and scrub³ her apartment or something.

　　Ruth: Well, how about 10 o'clock? What are you doing at 10?

　　Todd: Ah, 10 would be good, if I'm still awake.

　　Ruth: Will you be too tired?

　　Todd: No, no, that's good. It's Saturday. No problem.

　　Ruth: Really?

　　Todd: Yeah, yeah! Do it. Um, we were thinking of getting Shrek 2.

　　Ruth: Oh, wow! I really like Shrek 2.

　　Todd: OK, cool.

　　Ruth: I really like it.

　　Todd: I wanted to watch Star Wars⁴ but she said "no".

　　Ruth: Oh, I'm glad she said "no".

　　Todd: You don't like Star Wars?

　　Ruth: I can't stand it, except that I do like Ewan McGregor.

　　Todd: That's right. That's right. You said that before. OK, yeah cool, well, just go home
