Why did the man invite the woman to his home?

M: Why don’t you pay us a visit about nine tonight?
W: What’s the occasion?
M: It’s my wife Gloria’s birthday and we’re having new friends over.
W: Should I bring a gift?
M: Oh, no. It’s a simple get-together.

W: This is the third time you have been late this week, Robert. You’ll have to do better than that, or I might find it necessary to let you go.
M: It won’t happen again, I assure you.
W: This is the last time I believe you.
