Mary is going to ...

  lend José her CD player.
  go to José's party.
  have some friends over.

Mary:

Hello.

José:

Hello, Mary? This is José from the apartment downstairs.

Mary:

Oh, hi, José! How are you?

José:

Um, fine, thanks. Um, actually, I was wondering if you're free tomorrow night? I'm having some friends over.

Mary:

I'm sorry, José, but I already have other plans. Maybe another time?

José:

Sure, yeah, that's too bad. Well, um, would it be OK if I borrowed your CD player? Mine's broken, and I have some great new CDs I want to play at the party.

Mary:

Oh. That's OK, I guess ... You'll be careful with it, won't you?

José:

Oh, sure. Thanks a million.

Mary:

I'll just bring it down on my way to work, José.

José:

Great. Thanks again, Mary.
