[-2:41.00]B:Well,when is the last examination?
[-2:42.00]A:Most of the exams finish this Tuesday,the 17th,
[-2:43.00]but there are some music exams which go on until the 23rd

[-2:53.00]B:Oh,I think most people will come.
[-2:54.00]At first I thought every single person would come,
[-2:55.00]but then I realized that some would be on holiday,
[-2:56.00]or might have other family dinners.
[-2:57.00]So then I thought only about a hundred might come.
[-2:58.00]Anyway I asked the class monitors to check with each class.
[-2:59.00]And they think that about 90% will turn up in the end.
[-3:00.00]A:Well,that would be a very good figure

[-3:-4.00]B:Yes,he said he would be delighted to do so.
[-3:-5.00]A:But,I don't know if we can afford it.
[-3:-6.00]Look at his prices on this card.
[-3:-7.00]$3,000 for a school event.
[-3:-8.00]B:No,that's for a full day,like a sports Day.
[-3:-9.00]Since he is our cousin,he said he would do it really cheaply.
[-3:10.00]He is prepare to make the film for half of his minimum price for a dinner party.
[-3:11.00]A:That's very good of him.
[-3:12.00]B:And afterwards he'll sell copies of the video
[-3:13.00]to your classmates for just $50 each.

[-3:19.00]but you would all have to leave by 9 p.m.
[-3:20.00]As we have another big party arriving later.
[-3:21.00]A:I see,and how much would it cost?
[-3:22.00]We're only students,so we can't afford an expensive meal.
[-3:23.00]B:Well,it would be our usual prices.
[-3:24.00]Our cheapest would be $120 for each person
[-3:25.00]A:120,right.I'll have to think about it.
[-3:26.00]B:Well,can you let me know by six o'clock tomorrow evening if you want to make a booking?
