The context of the following conversation is Alex saw that John was having trouble finding a van to move his furniture. Alex, being kind and generous, rose to the occasion and decided to help by offering his truck and assistance to help him move over the weekend.:
Alex says I know you're planning on moving out of your apartment this Friday. I also noticed you don't seem to have lined up a moving company yet..
The friend responds No, everyone I called is booked solid for the next few months. Plus, my brothers and cousins are all working, or out of town. I'm running low on options..
Alex responds I have a truck. How about you let me help you get moved on Friday. You can pay me back with dinner and drinks next week..
The friend responds Oh my god, that would be so great! Forget dinner. I'm taking you to the ball game this weekend. Great seats and you can scarf down all the hot dogs you can stand..
Alex responds That sounds great. But, let's see how it goes first..
The friend responds Really, you're a lifesaver. Thank you..
