Lesson 5
Ted Goes out for the Evening
Ted leaves to go visit his girlfriend Amber. Ted's mother Susan says she doesn't really like Amber. She wishes him a good time anyway.
Ted: See you later, Mom!
Susan: Where are you going, Ted?
Ted: I told Amber I'd drop by.
Susan: What are you two going to do?
Ted: Maybe go to the movies or to a party. Our plans are still up in the air.
Susan: Why don't you invite her over here?
Ted: I don't want to hang around here. Dad is really down in the dumps.
Susan: Is Amber the girl with the nose ring and the purple hair?
Ted: Yeah. I'm crazy about her!
Susan: Don't take this the wrong way, but she's not exactly my cup of tea.
Ted: Take it easy, Mom. We're not about to get married. We just enjoy hanging out together.
