| Suzy: I heard there is a party at a house down the street. Do you want to go? Greg: Were we invited? Suzy: No, but I think we can still go. Greg: Do you mean that you want to crash the party? Suzy: Yes. I think it would be fun to crash a party. I don’t think the people will mind. They are our neighbors. Greg: But we don’t know them. I think it will be really awkward. Let’s not do that. Suzy: Come on. You’re no fun. Greg: Fine. We can stop by and check it out, but if it is weird, then I am going to leave immediately. Suzy: Sounds good. Let’s go. | |
