Veronica: How’s it going with you and Lisa?

Craig: We broke up. Actually, I dumped her.

Veronica: Why? You two were so good together.

Craig: Well, I got tired of her. She was too high maintenance.

Veronica: What do you mean?

Craig: She was like always asking for money. And she only wanted to eat at fancy restaurants.

Veronica: Hmm, Craig, you say that about all your exes. Don’t you think your standards are too high?

Stella: Hey DeMarcus, why are you so nervous today?

DeMarcus: I’m gonna propose to my girlfriend tonight.

Stella: Seriously? You’re finally popping the question?

DeMarcus: Yeah. I’m inviting her to the restaurant where we had our first date. I’ve planned a surprise party, so all our friends will be there.

Stella: Wow, you’re such a romantic! I’m sure it will melt her heart.

DeMarcus: I hope so. I wanted to do something meaningful that isn’t too cheesy.

Paula: Hey Jeff, why do you always act so weird when Crystal shows up?

Jeff: OK, promise not to tell anyone. The truth is … I have a crush on her.

Paula: Really? I didn’t know that!

Jeff: Shh! Keep your voice down! It’s kind of a secret.

Paula: Why don’t you let her know how you feel?

Jeff: I’ve tried, but I guess I just don’t have the guts.

Paula: Don’t be chicken! Just ask her out.

Alex: Hey Marina, you look so happy today. What’s up?

Marina: Actually, I have something to tell you. I’m seeing someone.

Alex: That’s great! How long have you been going out?

Marina: We’ve been going steady for about 3 weeks.

Alex: Three weeks? It sounds serious.

Marina: It is. I think I’m falling in love with him.

Jo: Hey, I heard you and Tina watched “The Invincibles”? How was it?

Tyler: Meh, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.

Jo: Why? What disappointed you?

Tyler: The script was a letdown. And the acting was mediocre.

Jo: That’s too bad. I had high expectations for it.

Tyler: Me too. But it couldn’t live up to my expectations.

Tina: What movie do you want to watch?

Tyler: How about this one, “The invincibles”?

Tina: I’ve never heard of it. Does it have good reviews?

Tyler: Yes, the critics love it. And it broke box office records in its first weekend.

Tina: Sounds good. What genre is it?

Tyler: It’s a superhero movie. It’s based on a famous comic book.

Tina: Sounds good. Let’s give it a shot.

Terrence: Sorry, I’m late. Let’s get inside and chow down.
