Excuse me, Martin. |

|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
Good morning, Howard. Good morning, Waleed. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
HOWARD: |
Can
we talk to you? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
Sure. Come in. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
WALEED: |
We're going to watch baseball tonight. Can you go with us? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
Not
tonight. I'm going to take the children to their grandparents.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
HOWARD: |
Aren't they in Chicago? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
My
parents are in Chicago. My wife's parents are in Ocean City. We're
going to Ocean City. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
WALEED: |
Are
the children going to stay in Ocean City? |
|
|
|
|
|
|

Yes. They're going to stay for five days. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
HOWARD: |
That's nice. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
WALEED: |
Does your son like that? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
Oh,
yes. His friends are there. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
WALEED: |
My
son doesn't like visiting his grandparents. They live in the
country. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
His
friends are here. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
WALEED: |
That's right. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
HOWARD: |
Doesn't he like his family? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
WALEED: |
Yes, he likes them. He likes his friends too. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
HOWARD: |
You
can't go with us tonight. |
|
|
|
|
|
|

Can
you go on Thursday? |
