Transcript
Section 1
Fred:
Mary!
Thank god, you're here. We've a ton of work to do
if we're
going to get everything ready for tonight. Whose idea was it to have this going
away party for Christ anyway?
Mary:
It was your idea Fred, remember.
Fred:
Hey I suggested a small get together for a few close friends. I didn't
mean inviting half the university.
Mary:
Well it's too late now. We have about
three hours
to get everything
under control. Have you got that list of things we need to do?
Fred:
Yeah it's in my room,
hang on
I'll go get it. Hell! I can't find it.
Mary:
What do you mean you can't find it?
Fred:
I can't find it, what do you think I mean? Damn! I remember I left it in the
library.
Mary:
Okay - okay
cool down
. We'll manage. I can remember what's on it.
Let's check the food and drink situation. Did you arrange the beer?
Fred:
Yeah Jim said he'd bring ten cases of
cold
budweiser ice and a couple
of big bins to keep it cold. Says he'll get here around five.
Mary:
Huh you know Jim, he'll probably turn up drunk around midnight.
Fred:
No problem, I phoned him a few minutes ago. He's at Jenny's place.
She's
keeping
him
away
from alcohol until he's delivered everything safe and
sound. What about the wine? You said you'd look after it.
Mary:
Oh my God. I completely forgot, what's the time?
Fred:
Half past three!
Mary:
Okay. I'll go to the liquor store and sort it out. Will they deliver?
Fred:
No problem. But you'll have to
pay up
front.
Mary:
I reckon about 60 people will turn up, allow for half a bottle per person.
That makes 30 bottles half red half white. What do you think?
Page 144

---

Fred:
That should be enough. Better to have too much than too little. Why not
make it
40
? 25 red and 15 white.
Mary:
Yeah! I guess most people prefer red. Where's the nearest liquor store?
Fred:
Not far. Go out the front door turn right sorry left. Take the second street
on your right and it's 300 yards down on the left just before you get to the
park.
Mary:
Okay
i'll go in a few minutes
. Let's first make a quick list to make sure
we haven't forgotten anything. Glasses - glasses what about glasses?
Fred:
Sally borrowed a hundred beer glasses and a hundred wine glasses
from the student bar. They're in the
cupboard
should be enough.
Mary:
Yeah should be. What about the barbecue?
Fred:
I've got two barbecues and plenty of charcoal out the back and Jane
and I spent three hours yesterday getting these steaks, chicken legs and
sausages ready. They're all in the big
fridge
and should taste terrific. Tons of
garlic pepper and soy sauce, no MSG.
Mary:
Sounds good, what about
plates
and things?
Fred:
Sally has looked after that as well, she's borrowed them from the bar
too. They're in the cupboard with the glasses. You know Sally refuses to use,
throw-away
things, bad for the environment.
Mary:
Good for her!
Fred:
Oh just remembered. Could you pick up another 20 loaves of french
bread and a few packets of paper
napkins
?
Mary:
No problem. Is there a shop on the way?
Fred:
There's a
supermarket
just before you get to the liquor store. Can you
manage everything or should I go with you?
Mary:
I'll manage, I've got this huge
rucksack
. No problem, damn just
remembered.
I'm over
my limit on my credit card. Have you got five hundred
dollars on you? We'll work out who owes who and how much later.
Fred:
No problem, I
took out
a thousand dollars this morning. Here's 500.
Mary
: Okay, I'll
get going
. I'll see you
in a while.
Fred:
Ciao! See you!
