Ashley: Well, um, there's your family; that's four people. [ Okay. ] There are three from my work [ Okay. ], and then Mike and Megan from across the street. And you and me, of course.

Daniel: Okay. So, what is everyone bringing?

Ashley: Um, let's see. Here's my list. Um ... Your brothers are bringing hamburgers, cheese, and buns.

Daniel: Oh! I'm glad they are in charge of that. [ Yeah, me too. ] You know, my brother, Jim ... He eats like a horse. [ Uh-huh. ] At the last barbecue, he put away at least, what, five hotdogs and five cheeseburgers ...

Ashley: No, I think it was six. Six cheeseburgers. It might have been more hotdogs. I don't know.

Daniel: He was still hungry!

Ashley: I know. I don't know how he did it. He does that all the time, he's ... and he's not even fat. You'd think (he would be fat). Anyway. Oh, yeah, anyway. So, my friends from work said that they could buy chips and salsa [ Okay. ], and they're going to bring a salad [ Alright. ]. And one of them is vegetarian, and so she's going to bring her own veggie burger, so you don't have to worry about her.

Daniel: Okay. That's ... That'll work out.

Ashley: And Mike and Megan. You're going to love this. They're going to bring some of the corn from their garden.

Daniel: Oh, their corn is always so, so good.

Ashley: Yeah, I know. It's wonderful.

Daniel: So, um, yeah. What about drink?

Ashley: Well, we're going to have soda and juice, and ice water as well.

Daniel: Okay. And what about dessert?

Ashley: I already have some ice cream and some homemade apple pie in the fridge.

Daniel: Oh. I can't wait.

Ashley: This is going to be fun.

Ashley: Yeah.
