Rachel!- Oi! Rachel! Wait!
Oh, Daniel.What's up?- Listen. Good news. John's parents have booked a chalet and they're letting him use it this weekend.
- He's having some people over.
- I'm going to stay at the chalet all weekend with John. You want to come or not?
- Wow. That sounds so cool.
- Um. I'm going out to dinner tonight with my girlfriends,
- but maybe I could go over on Saturday, just for the day.
- Cool. It's gonna be awesome.
- The chalet is near the beach.
- Let me give you directions.
- Um, I'm sort of in a rush right now.
- I call you Saturday morning to get information?
- Yah. Just call me.
- I have a handphone all the time.
- Try to come early. We're going to do a barbecue during lunchtime.
- OK. That sounds cool.
- Anyway, I gotta go.
- See you later.
- Okay, see you.
