How was your dinner party?

I think it went pretty well. People really seemed to enjoy themselves.

That's good.

Yeah, but we shouldn't have invited my wife's boss again. We can never get him to leave!

Really? How late did he stay this time?

Eddy:

Until two o'clock in the morning! And we both had to get up early the next day.

Well, it's pretty difficult to do that to your wife's boss!
