Ruth: I’ve got two tickets for a football game. The Lions vs. the Sharks, front-row seats, next Saturday. Interested? You can take Jessica to the game.

Nate: How did you get the tickets?! They were all sold out months ago!

Ruth: And a table for two at Leeds.

Nate: Leeds?! But I called them yesterday and they said they were all booked for the year!

Ruth: Now it’s yours. You and Jessica can have a lovely dinner there after the game.

Nate: Wait a second. This is just not like you. What’s the catch?

Nate: And what?

Ruth: And I was thinking if Charlie could stay with you next week.

Nate: The whole week?!

Ruth: Please! I can’t just leave him in my apartment.

Nate: I need to think about it.
