Xiao Wang: Anna, are you busy this Saturday evening?
Anna: No, why?
Xiao Wang: I bought movie tickets online. Do you want to go see it with me?
Anna: What movie?
Xiao Wang: A new Chinese movie, about a puppy looking for a home.
Anna: Oh, I've already seen that movie.
Xiao Wang: Really... Then you don't want to see it again, do you?
Anna: I do! Last time I went by myself; this time someone's going with me. How nice is that!
Xiao Wang: Then don't tell me what happens!
Anna: OK, I won't. After the movie, let's go eat. My treat.
Xiao Wang: Sure! Then I'll wait for you downstairs at your place at six.
Anna: OK, see you Saturday!
