M: Hello !
W: Hello. This is Lily Wilson, May I speak to Ted Robinson, please?
M: Hi, Lily! It’s Ted, What cab I do for you?
W: Well, I’m calling about the theatre group I belong to, the Princeton Players. We’re looking for more people to join, especially men. And I thought you would be interested.
M: Oh! You know how much I love acting, but I’m taking some very hard courses. I might be able to learn my part, but I would hardly have time to come to the rehearsal.
W: Well, actually we practice only one night a week, Thursdays, from seven to ten. So we wouldn’t have to put in extra time before a performance.
M: Only once a week, you say? Well, could you give me time to think it over?
W: Sure, but look, why don’t you come and watch our practice next Thursday? I think you’ll like the way we work. When you see how much fun it is, you’ll want to join right away.
M: OK. I’ll come to a rehearsal, but I can’t promise more than that.
W: Great! I’ll give you a call on Wednesday to remind you, talk to you then, bye now!
M: Bye, Lily !
