Amanda:  Celestial Seasonings Tea, this is Amanda.

Jason:  Hey, Amanda, it’s Jason.

Amanda:  Oh, hey Mason!

Jason:  No, no, no. Jason.

Amanda:  Jason. Oh. Hi. Um…What are you doin’?

Jason:  Oh, I was just calling to say, “Hey.”

Amanda:  I didn’t even know you knew my number. But that’s totally fine. That’s cool.

Jason:  You just told me where you worked and I found it in the dial by name directory.

Amanda:  Wow, that’s resourceful. So what’s going on? Because I’m kind of busy at work. I’ve got a deadline and…Do you have an emergency or something?

Jason:  Oh, n-n-no, I just…I’m sorry to bug you then, I just wondered if you wanted to go do something on Friday, maybe.

Amanda:  Oh, this Friday?

Jason:  Y-y-yeah.

Amanda:  It’s so weird, like I think I have something, but I can’t remember what it is so, I guess I’m free. Friday…I guess. OK. That’s fine. What do you want to do?

Jason:  Oh, we could see a movie or go ice skating or something.

Amanda:  I’d rather if we kind of did something that was in a 30-minute time frame, so if you can figure out some type of short, quick, brief activity.

Jason:  I’ll figure something out. But why don’t I pick you up at 7:30 and I’ll figure something out in that half-hour window.

Amanda:  OK. I look forward to it.

Jason:  Cool!

Amanda:  OK, I gotta go. I’m sorry.

Jason:  No, no problem.

Amanda:  But I appreciate the call. Just try not to do it again, OK?

Jason:  OK, sure.

Amanda:  OK. Bye.

Jason:  Bye.

Amanda:  Huh. Wow.

Discussion

When Jason says his name over the phone, Amanda thinks he says Mason. That’s not the first time that someone confused the two names.

She’s surprised that Jason has her number, but apparently it wasn’t too hard to track her down because she had told him where she works.

Amanda wonders why Jason if calling. Is he in trouble or something? It seems like she doesn’t think his surprise is as romantic as he did. He says he just called to see if she wanted to hang out on Friday.

Amanda agrees to go out on Friday on a very short date. Jason seems excited but Amanda seems a little bit uncomfortable.

Would you like it if someone surprised you with a phone call at work? How do you think Amanda and Jason’s date will go?
