Tapescript

Boy: Hi, Maria. How was Paul's party?

Girl: Oh, Dan, it was a disaster.

Boy: It was?

Girl: Uh-huh.

Boy: What happened?

Girl: Well, I was supposed to arrive at 7:00 but I arrived at 8:00.

Boy: Oh, so you were late.

Girl: Yeah, but in my country it's different. When you're invited for 7:00, you're supposed to come later!

Boy: I see.

Girl: Then when I met Paul's mom, I kissed her.

Boy: And you were supposed to shake hands instead.

Girl: That's right. AND I wore a fancy dress.

Boy: What's wrong with that?

Girl: Well, it was a barbecue, Dan. Everyone else was wearing a T-shirt and jeans.

Boy: I guess you should have asked what you were supposed to wear.
