Todd: Hey, Edwin, how you doing?

Edwin: I'm good thank. How are you?

Todd: Oh, I'm doing pretty good. So, did you do anything this weekend?

Edwin: Yes, I went down to the city.

Todd: Oh, you went to the city? Who did you go with?

Edwin: I went with a couple of friends.

Todd: Oh, yeah. Were you guys going clubbing and going out?

Edwin: No, we just went shopping.

Todd: Shopping, really.

Edwin: Oh, yeah.

Todd: You don't strike me as the shopping type.

Edwin: No, but it's getting cold now, and I need some winter clothes.

Todd: That is [bad word]  That is [bad word]  So, what did you buy?

Edwin: I bought a jacket and a pair of warm trousers.

Todd: How much did you spend?

Edwin: I spent about a couple of hundred dollars.

Todd: Really?

Edwin: Yes.

Todd: Wow! That's a lot.

Edwin: Yes, but I don't want to freeze, so ...

Todd: Right. So did you go on Saturday or Sunday?

Edwin: I went on Saturday.

Todd: Saturday. You didn't stay overnight?

Edwin: No, I didn't stay overnight. It was going to be too expensive if we stayed overnight.

Todd: Right, yeah. How did you get there by the way? Do you drive?

Edwin: No, we took the bus.

Todd: Oh, you took the bus.

Edwin: Yeah.

Todd: I hate the bus.

Edwin: Yes, but unfortunately I don't have a license so we have to take the bus.

Todd: Right, actually, I'm in the same boat, you know, I don't have a license either, but when I go to the city I always take the train. Have you ever taken the train?

Edwin: Ah, no, I have taken the train yet.

Todd: Oh, man you gotta take the train.

Edwin: How does [bad word] to the bus?

Todd: It's so much better ... well, it takes about the same amount of time

Edwin: Oh, really.

Todd: It takes about two hours, but you can kind of walk around a bit, you know, it's not as cramped. I kind of get motion sickness on the bus.

Edwin: But isn't it more expensive on the train?

Todd: Well, actually, you can get four tickets for a hundred dollars, so it's about twenty-five dollars one way, and I think the bus is ... you can get four tickets for eighty dollars, so it's only a little more expensive.

Edwin: I see, I see.

Todd: It does take a little bit longer though.

Edwin: Okay.

Todd: So anyway, what about Sunday? What did you do yesterday?

Edwin: Yesterday? Just walked around campus, and not much to do on Sunday. Sunday is usually my easy-going day.

Todd: Yeah, did you study?

Edwin: Yeah, later in the night. Daytime it's usually ... yeah, usually no studies during the day.

Todd: Yeah, did you wait until the last minute?

Edwin: Yeah, I'm that kind of person, so yes.

Todd: Yeah, me too, me too.
