Carl:  Hey, how's it going, Larry? Do you feel like having some company?
Larry: Sure, come on in. You always cheer me up.
Carl:  I'm so sorry about the accident. I wish there were something more I could do for you. You know, we missed you in English class today.
Larry: That's what worries me. I'm going to miss some important classes over the next few days. And, with my right arm being broken, I don't know how I'll write the assignments that are due this week.
Carl:  Don't worry. I tape-recorded the lectures so you can listen to them when you get a chance. I'll also talk to the professor about giving you an additional week to get your assignments turned in.
Larry: Thanks. You're a real pal.
Carl:  Hey, what are friends for? Besides, you have to concentrate on getting well for your date on Friday night.
Larry: Yeah, how about that? Do you think she's sorry we have a date?  
Carl:  No. She told me herself that she'd been hoping to meet you.
Larry: Well, maybe something good will come from all of this after all!
