 A:    Are you okay, man? You don’t look very well.

 B:     Ugh, I feel terrible. I went out last night with Trevor
       and things got a little out of hand.

 A:     Nice! So, where did you guys go?

 B:    We  hit  a  couple  of  local  bars,  and  met  up  with
       some  friends. Everything  was  cool  until  Mike
       came along, and it turned out that it was his birth-
       day yesterday!

 A:    Oh no! Mike’s birthday is a drinkfest for sure!

 B:    Tell me about it! We drank everything in the bar¹!

 A:     Is that why you missed work today?
 B:    Yeah. I woke up this morning feeling really nau-
       seous. I threw up like five times.

 A:     Eww!

 B:     I was so dehydrated that I drank like a gallon² of
       water, and my head has been pounding all day.  I
       swear³, I’m never gonna drink again!

       and she asked if you were gonna go.

 B:    Oh, yeah. I’m there!
