Woman: You don't like me anymore!

Man: Of course I do! What makes you think that I don't?

Woman: I haven't been invited to one of your legendary parties in a long time.

Man: That's because there haven't been any for a long time. I haven't had anybody over at all.

Woman: What happened? Got yourself a girlfriend that disapproves of your orgies?

Man: Orgies! I admit we had a few too many but you can hardly call them orgies. And there's no girlfriend either. It's just that everything has become so expensive. On top of it, I lost quite a few hours in my side job.

Woman: You're telling me you've cooped yourself up all this time? Just because you're not the one having parties doesn't mean you have to stay away from everybody.

Man: How would you like it if I invited you for a pot luck dinner?

Woman: Thanks! I'd love to! So would Jake and Jenny. And if you like, I'm sure Andrew would bring some wine.

Man: You have me stumped!

Woman: See you Friday at 6:00 - your place. That gives you some time to feel bad about thinking we were a bunch of freeloaders.
