賴世雄中級美國英語Believe it or Not
My friend, Andy, is talking to his girlfriend, Jenny, about what I said in the previous lesson.
A: So who did you go to the movies with?
J: Nobody.
A: What do you mean NOBODY?
J: Don't shout at me. Allow me to explain.
A: I'm waiting.
J: Uh… that was my uh… brother.
A: Do you expect me to believe that?
J: You can believe what you want.
A: I'll never get you to tell me the truth, I guess.
J: Why don't you believer me?
A: Because I had dinner with your brother last night!
