Prison Break

Notes from the IY Class:

This is a copy of a dialog between Y. and Chip that we had before the start of class.

C: Did you have a nice weekend?
Y: Yes, I did.
C: Really?! What did you do?
Y: I watched all of season one of Prison Break on DVD.
C: Did you watch the DVDs with your sister or mom?
Y: I watched them with my mom.
C: I see. Was it expensive to rent all of those DVDs?
Y: No, it wasn't. I rented only volumes 1, 2, and 3, but the rest, I borrowed from one of my friends.
C: Oh. You're lucky to have such a friend!
Y: Yes, I think so, too.
