lesson 05 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.

susan: i guess there's no accounting for taste. have a good time.

ted: don't worry. we'll have a blast!

susan: (under her breath) that's what i'm afraid of!
