Father: Here. Try this. It's called a book. [Ah, Dad!] Moby Dick. An American classic. [Dad!] Okay. Let me look at the schedule here. Hmm. When are you thinking about going to the movie? Daughter: Uh, we're thinking about seeing a movie on Wednesday after school. Father: Well, that's not going to work. You have piano lessons after school and then you have to babysit for the neighbors until 9:00. Daughter: What about Monday? Father: Monday's out. You haven't practiced your clarinet at all ... for an entire month, so you have to catch up on that. And, don't you have an essay due in your English class on Tuesday? Daughter: Oh, I forgot about that [Yeah], and anyway, I was going to finish that during first period at school. [Great. I've never heard of a three-sentence essay.] So, what about Tuesday? Father: Uh, you have soccer practice from 4:00 until 5:30, and after that, you have to do your homework. Daughter: Ah, you can help me with that. Oh, I forgot you don't know how to do geometry. So, can I see the movie on Thursday? Father: Well, remember the science fair at school is on Friday, right? Is, is your project finished yet? Daughter: Umm, what about Friday night? I checked the paper, and there's a midnight showing. Father: Uh-uh. Forget that idea. Daughter: And Saturday? Father: Well, you have to do your chores in the morning before noon. [You can help me with that.] Oh no. And then, we have to clean out the garage. You said you'd help. [No, you volunteered me.] Well, that should only take a couple of hours. [Dad, you're ruining my social life.] And then, after that, we can go to the movie. Daughter: We? Father: Yeah, We. Mom and I and you and Shannon. Daughter: Uh, Dad, actually. We weren't planning on company. Father: Now, let me check the paper for showtimes. [The movie plays at three oh five, five, seven fifteen, and nine.] You already checked, I see. Daughter: Yeah. So is it okay? Can I go see the nine O'clock showing? Father: The five o'clock showing! Daughter: How about the seven... What was said before this conversation?
