Patrick: They’re very nice. How much did they cost?
Claire: They cost $70.
Patrick: And what did you do in the evening?
Claire: In the evening, I met my friends, Nicole and Kate, to go to the movie theater.
Patrick: What movie did you see?
Claire: We saw that new English movie about David Bowie. After that, my friends went clubbing. But I was tired, so I didn’t go with them. I took a taxi home and read a book. And you? What did you do?

Claire: Did you have a good time?
Patrick: Yes, we did. In fact, we had a great time!

Claire: So, what time did you get up on Sunday?
Patrick: I got up very late on Sunday, about midday.
Claire: How did you feel?
Patrick: Well, I didn’t feel great. I felt really tired, but then I drank some coffee, and I felt better.
