Q: M: When is Thanksgiving Day? W: It's celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November. What are your plans for it? M: I have no idea yet. What about you? W: The same as usual. My aunts and uncles and cousins come to our house for dinner. M: Oh, your family get together. What do you usually do? W: We usually have a big meal. My mother cooks turkey. But I prepare the vegetables. My aunts usually bring the pies. The women cook the meal, and the men wash the dishes. M: Really? In my family, when we get together the kids wash the dishes. The whole thing is a lot of work. W: Yes, but I like Thanksgiving. I was out of the country last year, and really missed it. That's one time in the year when families get together. John, if you haven't got any plans, why don't you come to my house to spend the holiday with us? M: Yes, that sounds like a good idea. Thanks a lot. What was said before this conversation?

M: Here's the list on page... Column 6. Here it is. Where's the Rialto? There's a perfect movie there. W: That's too far away. And it's hard to find a place to park there.
