dialogue: #Person1#: It's grandpa's birthday next week. We must have a surprise party.
  #Person2#: A party? Do you mean you want to have loud music and food everywhere?
  #Person1#: Well, no, but grandpa will. You know he loves jazz.
  #Person2#: OK, well, how about having it at a hotel?
  #Person1#: Hotels are expensive, and it's too cold for a garden party at this time of year. We really should have it here at our house.
  #Person2#: Ok, I suppose you're right. What food should we have?
  #Person1#: Oh, I'll make some pizzas, and I'm sure grandma will make a birthday cake.
  #Person2#: Yes, I'm sure she will. I'll make some salad, then. What do you think I should get him?
  #Person1#: Let me think. No scarves or hats. I'm giving him a scarf and grandpa just bought a hat last month. What about a book? He reads a lot.
  #Person2#: Ok, good idea. Oh, what day should we plan to have the party?
  #Person1#: Well, the birthday is on Thursday. So we could do it on Friday. No, Saturday. Saturday is the best day for a party.
summary: #Person1# and #Person2# are planning a surprise party for grandpa's birthday and talk about what presents they should get him.
