M: Hey Betsy, did you hear the great news?
W: No, Frank, I haven't. What is going on?
M: I just got a promotion, and I am going to throw a huge party for all of my friends. I would love it if you would come.
W: Wow, thanks so much, when is the party?
M: I am thinking of having it on Saturday. I am hoping there will be 150 people there. This really is a big promotion for me and my family.
W: Wow, 150 people. That is a lot. This must be a big promotion. I would love to go. I think it would be a great time.
M: Oh great, the more the merrier. This really a big deal for me. We can now afford the new house my wife has always wanted. I just hope I don't have to put too many hours in. I would hate to lose too much time with my family.
W: I can understand that, but let's keep focusing on the bright side. I can't wait for that party.
