ESL Podcast 598 – Suggesting a Nightcap

Brittany: [slurring her speech] I had a really nice time. Tri: I’m glad to hear it. It was nice of Marie to set us up. Brittany: Yeah, she told me that you would be my soul mate, and she was right! You’re dreamy... Tri: Uh...well, thanks. It was really nice meeting you, but I’d better be going. Brittany: What? Why are you leaving so soon? Don’t you want to come in for a nightcap? Let’s have a drink, or two, or three. I’ll make it worth your while... Tri: I think we’ve both had enough to drink tonight, don’t you? I’ll just take a rain check. Brittany: Don’t go yet. The night is young. Don’t you want to see my apartment? Tri: Sure I do, but let’s make it another time. I really do have to go. Brittany: Spoilsport! ... Brittany seemed nice when I first met her, but that impression didn’t last long. It only took 15 minutes for me to realize that she and I had nothing in common, and then, I couldn’t get out of there fast enough. You might think I’m crazy because she really was drop- dead gorgeous1, but I had no intention of taking advantage of a drunk woman! Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
