  Carole: Kitty's? He sure gets around, doesn't he?
  Rebecca: Looks like it. So how did he handle it to?
  Carole: His excuse was familiar. He said his car died again.
  Rebecca: I think that's a bunch of nonsense. It seemed ok to me.
  Carole: I know. Last week he gave me a lie about being too busy.
  Rebecca: Doesn't sound promising.
  Carole: Well, I think it's the time to pull the plug.
  Rebecca: If you want I'll let him know if I run into him.
  Carole: Thanks anyway, but I'll do it, Rebecca. Let's get the class.
