Oscar: Abs you ok, girl?
Abi: Hi Oscar, you ARE coming on Friday night, aren't you? 
Oscar: Course! Mr Reliable, that's me. Listen, got a mate who fancies himself as the next Russell Howard, could you reserve a spot for him at Open Mic?
Abi: Maybe, he any good?
Oscar: Funny as fuck! Has all of us in stitches most of the time, give him a go, name's Ben.
Abi: OK, but you better not be late again for your shift! I will not tell you again, mind! See you Friday.
Oscar will bring Ben on Friday night. Abi will reserve a spot for him at Open Mic, but she told Oscar to not be late for his shift.
