Isaiah

Tom

Isaiah:  What up, Tom?

Tom:  Oh, not much. I’m so sick. I feel terrible.

Isaiah:  What’s wrong?

Tom:  I don’t know. I have a headache, I have a stomachache, I’ve just been sick all day. I don’t think I’m going to get out of bed tonight.

Isaiah:  Really. Me and a couple of my friends were thinking about goin’ and grabbing some drinks. You sure you can’t make it?

Tom:  Oh man, that would be dope, but I’m so tired. I don’t think I can get out bed.

Isaiah:  I heard one of the best, ah, cure-alls for any type of ailment is a little booze.

Tom:  Yeah, I hear people tell me that all the time but… I wish I could drink, but I just feel so sick already. I couldn’t handle a hangover.

Isaiah:  Yeah, well if you change your mind, give me a ring. We’ll just be hanging out over at my place.

Tom:  Alright. I’ll call you if I feel better.
