MODEL3 Why not have both our parents here for Christmas?

Script

Amy:You know, Christmas is coming. AndI (1) haven’t seen Dad for ages—he always has such great stories to tell.

Bill: I know we went t my folks’ last year, but (2)my mom’s been pretty sick. This might be her last Christmas.

Amy: She’s been ill, but (3) don’t exaggerate. You just don’t like my mother. That’s why you don’t want to go to my parents’

Bill:  She’s never liked me. (4)Never thought I was good enough for you.

Amy:Well, you’re not… But (5)seriously, mom’s not so sad. She’s just got a thick skin and likes to hide her feelings.

Bill:  I don’t think so.

Amy: Why not have our both families here for Christmas?

Bill:That would make 22 of us if we invited everybody.

Amy: (6)Why not just have both our parents here for Christmas?

Bill:Good idea. Just don’t seat me next to your mother.
