anyway?
Jack: I’m just making some popcorn³. Beer, popcorn, football! What more could you want on a
Saturday afternoon?
Jim: Yeah, I guess this is the next best thing to getting actual tickets to the game. I’m cool with just watching it here in the dorm. The TV will give us a better view.
Jack: It’s gonna be a good game. I’m anxious to see some of the local players in action.
Jim: Yeah, should be good… but not for your team. I don’t think they have a chance.
Jack: Why not? We’ve got some good players.
Jim: Maybe, but the other team has some of the best players in Europe. David Beckham, Michael Owen. How can your guys compete with them?
Jack: Of course they’re good, but our local team is also excellent!
Jim: OK, if you’re so confident, how about a bet⁴?
Jack: All right. Loser pays for a dinner at Pizza Hut⁵ after the match.
Jim: Fine. I could eat some pizza tonight. Mmm. I can taste it now.
Jack: Don’t forget to bring your wallet, Jim. You’re going to need it after you lose.
Jim: Goal! Michael Owen. I think I’m starting to get hungry for some pizza!
Jack: I think our goalkeeper was distracted⁶.
Jim: Yeah, right! (sarcastically)
Jack: Hey! Our team’s got a corner. Only two minutes left. Maybe the game will end in a tie.
Jim: Ooooh! Too bad, Jack. You guys almost did it!
Jack: Well, time is up, and I’m starving. Let’s go to Pizza Hut. It’s on me!
