Woman : Are you doing anything tonight?
Man : Not really. I meant to take Terri to the new play at the arts club but she stood me up and I donÕt feel like going on my own.
Woman : ThatÕs too bad. Say, how about joining us for a basketball match. Tom bailed out because he wanted to meet up with his new girlfriend so we are one player short.
Man : I think IÕll pass. I donÕt feel much like doing anything.
Woman: Oh, come on! ItÕll be fun and itÕd sure beat ironing your socks.
Man : YouÕre probably right. Sulking wonÕt do me any good and it wouldnÕt hurt to take TomÕs place for a change.
Woman : ThatÕs the spirit!
