Ryan: What the hell are you doing? Amy: I’m painting my face. Ryan: Why the hell are you doing that? Amy: First, stop saying hell. Second, I’m painting my face because I’m going to the basketball game tonight. It’s the championship game, and I want to show support for my team. Ryan: You have tickets to the game? I heard it was sold out. How did you get tickets? Amy: My co-worker has season tickets, but she can’t go to the game because of a family event. So, she gave them to me for free. Ryan: You’re so lucky. Who are you going with? Amy: I’m going with my other co-worker, Megan. Megan is a huge basketball fan, so it should be fun to go with her. | |
