Setting: School Library. Mike is at a table with a Calculus book open. Peter approaches the table. When he talks he speaks fast and has kind of a nervous, high pitched voice. Peter: Hi Mike, remember me? Mike: Looks up from book. umm . . . yeah. P: Yeah, you said you would call me sometime after you talked to your friend. M: Yeah. P: Did you talk to him cause I've been practicing? I can jam real good now. M: umm . . . I haven't really seen him around. P: I thought you worked with him. M: I do. I haven't had the chance. It has been busy. P: Ok. Do you work today? M: I might. P: Will he be there? M: Nervously. umm . . . I'm not sure. P: If he is there can you ask cause I've been practicing a lot and I've been playing with my friends and we are getting good and remember you said you needed a keyboardist and maybe I can come over sometime. M: Maybe, I'll try and ask him tonight at work. P: Ok, ok. umm . . . Maybe I could stop up there tonight. What time are you going to ask him? M: Actually, I don't think I work tonight. P: Oh . . . well then do you want to jam tonight? M: umm . . . P: Yeah cause I'm real good now. M: I think I was supposed to help move some stuff for a friend. P: Oh, how long will that take? M: I'm not sure. P: Maybe I could help and I could bring my keyboard and after we could jam. M: I don't think he wants that many people over at his house. He probably has enough help. P: Really? M: Yeah. Looking at watch. I should probably get going. P: Ok, do you think you will talk to your friend tomorrow? M: umm, I don't know. P: Do you want to jam tomorrow? M: I have a big test on Friday. P: What class? M: I think Calc. P: Doesn't sound too fun. M: I guess not. P: How about Friday? M: What? P: We could jam on Friday. M: Oh, I think that friend of mine works. P: We could just jam and play some stuff. M: My friend said he would like to be with us when we jam. P: I thought you haven't talked to him. M: Yeah, I didn't. I just think it would sound better if we were all there. P: Oh, ok. How about next week? M: Maybe, I'll have to see what's going on next week. I think I might have another test. P: Yeah, me too. M: Ok, I guess I'll see you later. P: So where are you going? M: I have to get something to eat. P: Are you done with your classes? M: I have one more. P: Me too. M: Ok. P: What class is it? M: umm . . . English. P: I took that last year. Who do you have? M: Jones, ok, I gotta go. P: Ok, so maybe next week. M: Sure. Whatever. P: You wanna call me? M: If we do something I guess I can try and call. P: Ok, here's my phone number and address. Do you want my e-mail address? M: Heh, that ought to be fine. P: So, we can jam next week? M: Maybe, I might have to work a lot next week. P: Ok. M: I'll talk to you later. P: You want me to stop in to work later? M: Doesn't matter. Bye. |
