Hey, Jan!
Hey, Pete. What's up?- Listen. Great news.
- John's parents have a bach and they're letting him use it this weekend. So, he's having a bit of a get-together.
- I'm gonna crash at the house all weekend, and I just wanted to see if you'd like to tag along too.
- Wow. Sounds great.
- Um, me and the girls are going out on a hens' night tonight, but maybe I could come over and hang out on Saturday, just for the day.
- Sounds like a plan. It's gonna be heaps of fun.
- The house is right by the beach.
- Uh, let me give you directions…
- Well, I'm sort of in a rush right now.
- I have to get to the dairy before it closes.
- Can you just text me how to get there?
- Sure, I'll text your cell later.
- And try to get there early.
- We're gonna put down a big hangi with heaps of lamb, kaimoana, and kumara.
- Man! that sounds delicious!
- Anyway, I gotta take off. See you later.
- OK, then. Text you later.
- Thanks Pete! Bye.
