英语口语900句 11.02.对话.1.相约看电影

Hi,Annie. I was wondering if you were free tomorrow night.

Well,George,I guess I am. Why do you ask?

I've just got a pair of presale "star wars" movie tickets from a friend.

And I'm thinking of inviting¹ you along for the opening premiere. Are you interested?

Yes,definitely. Thanks for inviting me.

My pleasure.

I really want to watch "star wars" on the opening day. But the presale tickets were sold out.

How did you manage to get hold of them?

A friend of mine works in the corporate² headquarters of Pepsi,which is the major sponsor of the movie.

He was able to get the tickets for free. And then he sold 2 to me for 50 dollars a piece.

You paid 50 dollars for each ticket? That's a huge premium³ over the regular price.

Not really. Considering the fact that other people were willing to pay as much 200 dollars each as the blackmarket.

Besides,I knew you were really looking forward to watching "star wars" on the opening day.

Woa,I'm really honoured you went through all this trouble just for my sake. I really appreciate that. So what time are we going?

Well,let's see. The movie starts at ten. We should be there at least one hour earlier because there is a big line.

I can pick you up at your house at eight. Is that ok with you?

Eight o'clock PM,that's fine with me.

Ok.

So I will see you tomorrow then at eight.

Yes,that's great. I'll see you tomorrow night.

Ok,George,bye.

Bye,Annie.
