Sharon, guess what? I got the job ...
it’s in France!
SHARON
That’s amazing, Sam! I’m so pleased
for you. Is it in Paris?
SAM
Yes! I’m starting in two weeks! I’m
so excited! I’m going over there next
weekend to look at places to live,
so I’m busy clearing out my flat over
here. Can you come over and give me
a hand?

Of course! I’m meeting friends this
evening and I probably won’t get
home until after nine, but how about
tomorrow evening?
SAM
Fantastic! I’m supposed to be out
of my flat by this time next week,
so I’m going to put all my stuff in
storage somewhere. But I may need
somewhere to stay before I leave for
France. Could I stay at your place for a
few days?
SHARON
Of course! You can stay as long as
you like. But look, I have to run now
because my lecture starts in ten
minutes.
SAM
Thanks a lot ... and see you tomorrow!
