A late night



Mrs J   I’d like the paneer tikka we had last month.               

                                                                                                                   I liked it very much. I am going to have it again.
Last night we went to a movie at Darpan.                                                                  Mr J     So am I.
We went with the Jains, who are our neighbours.                                                      B         I’d like a pizza. What would you like, Rajesh?
Before the movie, Bela and I walked down the road.                                                           R         I’d like a tomato onion pizza and green salad.
Bela wanted to see the Umed club.
Bela loved the movie. It was a musical.                                                                     The movie
Mrs. Jain liked the dances, but she didn’t like the songs.
I didn’t like the movie at all.                                                                                      B         Did you enjoy the movie, Nisha?
Mr. Jain didn’t like it either.                                                                                       Mrs J   Yes, I did…very much. I like musicals.
After the play we went to a restaurant for dinner.                                                     B         So do I.
                                                                                                                                    Mrs J   You didn’t like the first half, did you?

Dinner                                                                                                                        B         No, I didn’t.                The women danced badly.

                                                                                                                                                The men seemed nervous.
R         Excuse me, I am Rajesh Nahata.                                                                    Mrs J   Yes, you’re right.
            We have a reservation for four.                                                                                  Was the woman, who played the nurse, Juhi?
Rec      Yes, here’s your reservation.                                                                           B         No, she wasn’t.           Her name is Sridevi.
Rec.     Well, we have got two tables in the main hall.                                               Mrs J   She talked too fast and she didn’t dance well.
            One is near the corner and the other is near the door.                                                R         Did you really enjoy the movie?
            The one near the corner is a small round table.                                               B         Yes, of course we did.
            The other one is a large square table.                                                              R         You don’t really like musicals, do you?
            Which one would you like?                                                                            Mr J     No, not really.             I prefer comedies.
R         Don’t you have a table near the dance floor?                                                 R         Tonight’s movie was dull, wasn’t it?
Rec.     No, I am sorry, sir, we don’t.                                                                          Mr J     Yes, the actors and actresses weren’t good.          
R         Then the small round one near the corner is fine.                                           R         No but the costumes and the scenery were marvelous.
            Sorry, we arrived late.                                                                                     Mr J     I didn’t like the men’s costumes.
Mr. J.   Well you didn’t miss much.                                                                                        But the women’s dresses were lovely.
R         Good. Now, what would everyone like to eat?                                              R         Who was the actor who played the doctor?
Mr. J.   I am not very hungry.                                                                                     Mr J     He was Bobby. He was in a film I saw last week.
B         But I am very thirsty.                                                                                                  He played the doctor in another film last year.
            I would like a glass of water first.                                                                  B         Oh, let’s dance.
