M: Hi, Heather, I was wondering if you're free tomorrow night.

W: Well, George, I guess I am. Why do you ask?

M: I have just gotten a pair of pre-sale Star Wars movie tickets from a friend and was (5) thinking of g inviting you along for the opening.(男士想邀请女士观看电影首映。）Are you interested?

W: Yeah, definitely! I really want to watch Star Wars on the opening day but the pre-sale tickets have been sold out. How did you manage to get hold of them?

M: A friend of mine works at the corporate headquarters of "Pepsi", which is a major sponsor of the movie. He was able to get the tickets for free，and then (6-1) he sold two to me for $50 a piece.(根据下文可知，黑市价200美元，减去50，每张多花150，两张就是300美元。）

W: You paid $50 for each ticket? That's a lot of extra money over the regular price!

M: Not really，considering the fact that other people are (6-2)paying as high as $200 each on the black market.（黑市价200美元。）Besides，(7-1) I knew you were really looking forward to watching Star are on the opening day.（买票的主要原因是女士很想看电影首映。）

W： Wow, I'm really honored (7-2) you went through all this trouble just for my sake.（因为女士想看，男士才想尽办法买到票。）I really appreciate that. So, what time are we going?

M: Well, let's see. The movie starts at 10 p. m. We should get there at least 1 hour earlier because there'll be a big line. I could pick you up at your house at 8, if that's OK with you.

W: Okay, George. Bye!

M: Bye, Heather.
