Two Willamette students saying good-bye before Thanksgiving break

A: Hi, what's up?

B: Oh, not much. I just finished a big test. What are you doing?

A: I'm heading to McDonalds for coffee and a hamburger. Do you want to come?

B: Nah, I think I'll have some fruit; it's healthier. And I'm going to rent a movie, sci-fi probably, and then play pool. I'm not very interested in prime time TV.

A: Well, I'll see you next week. I'm flying to Los Angeles tomorrow for the long Thanksgiving weekend.

B: Oh yeah -- your roommate lives there, doesn't he? Don't forget your camera and your ticket. Do you need a ride to the airport?

B: Have fun. See you Monday or Tuesday..
