Ted:

Do you have a date for the party yet?

Lina:

Actually, I don't ... Do you think you could help me find one?

Ted:

Hmm. What kind of guys do you like?

Lina:

Oh, I like guys who aren't too serious and who have a good sense of humor. You know, ... like you.

Ted:

OK. What else?

Lina:

Well, I'd prefer someone I have something in common with – who I can talk to easily.

Ted:

I think I know just the guy for you. Bob Branson. Do you know him?

Lina:

No, I don't think so.

Ted:

Let me arrange for you to meet him, and you can tell me what you think.

(Lina meets Bob Branson. Finally, Ted wants to know if he has been successful as a "matchmaker")

Ted:

So, what's the verdict? What did you think of Bob?

Lina:

Well, I was worried at first – especially when I saw that he wears not one but two earrings. I thought he might turn out to be one of those guys who are into the heavy rock music and stuff like that. You know what I mean?

Ted:

But he's just a regular kind of guy, right?

Lina:

Yeah, we got along really well!

Ted:

I just knew you'd like him.

Lina:

Yeah, I do. And he's really funny. He had me laughing hysterically during dinner. I think the people sitting next to us in the restaurant thought we were crazy.

Ted:

So are you two going to get together again?

Lina:

Definitely. In fact, we're going to a concert tomorrow night.

Ted:

That's great!
