PART B_2

Hi Emma! What’s on TV?
My favorite sitcom is on. They have an amazing cast. I’m living for this!
It’s just sad that this is actually their last episode. I really hope they
renew for another season.

Oh, you like that show too? Great minds think alike, indeed.
I didn’t know you are into comedy shows.

Well, you never asked. By the way, don’t you worry because the production announced yesterday that they are definitely going to return for season 2.
Are you kidding? Oh my! That made my day.

Look, the show is over. Now, get up and don’t be a couch potato.
But I want to watch it again.

The sun is still up. We can still go for a walk with my dog. You can’t just sit there all day, you know.
You’ve got a point. Okay, I’ll go. I’ll just rewatch the show before hitting
the sack later.
