Transcript (read it after you answer)

Friend 1: Yo, Kyle, I snagged tickets for that Romeo and Juliet play Friday. You free?

Friend 2: Whoa, Leah, that’s dope! Yeah, I’m down. Where’s it at?

Friend 1: City Arts Theatre, 7:30 p.m. It’s a modern take with live music.

Friend 2: Sounds epic. How much do I owe you for the ticket?

Friend 1: Tickets were $30 each. You can pay me Friday or PayPal me now.

Friend 2: I’ll send it now. Dress code fancy or chill?

Friend 1: Smart casual—no jeans. I’m wearing a dress, but a nice shirt works for you.

Friend 2: Got it. Should we grab food before?

Friend 1: Yeah, there’s a bistro across the street. Let’s meet there at 6 p.m. for dinner.

Friend 2: Perfect. Do we need to pick up the tickets, or are they digital?

Friend 1: They’re e-tickets on my phone. Just bring ID in case they check.

Friend 2: Cool. How long’s the play? I’ve got an early shift Saturday.

Friend 1: About two hours with an intermission. We’ll be out by 10 p.m.

Friend 2: Sweet. I’m hyped for this, Leah. Thanks for planning!

Friend 1: No sweat, Kyle. It’s gonna be a fun night!
