Nick: No, I was there on time, and it was me who waited for you two.
Phuc: Are you kidding? We didn’t see you there. We tried to call you but couldn’t get through.
Nick: I couldn’t call you either. My battery was flat.
Phuc: Never mind. We can try again. How about this Sunday afternoon at 2.30 p.m.? There’s Superman 3.
Nick: Great..., but I’ll be having my Vietnamese class then. Let’s go for the 4.15 p.m. show. I’ll need to take the bus to Nguyen Du Street and it’s quite far.
