"Embarrassing, being stood up, isn't it? Is he fair or dark?"

"Neither! No one stands me up!"

"Annie's on the phone. Do you want to go to the cinema tonight?"

"Why's she making such a fuss? Greta Garbo is on until Tuesday!"

"Well, what about tomorrow?"

"Fine, tomorrow... Sunday!"

"Done. At ten. Nikolassee"

"Leave the brim down, or..."

"If I were you, I'd make a bit of a scene!"

Come at 10 to Nikolassee

"My best friend"

"You go on. I must make a phone call"

"Could you see if Annie's still there, please?"

"How about that? She's still in bed!"

"Smile, please"

"Thank you"

"Where are the others?"

"We almost got lost"

"Let's go, kids - let's move on"
