- Hello Martin, what do you do on Thursday evening?- Hello Kathrin, on Thursday evening? Then I have nothing up, why?
- I thought, we could go to the cinema together. What do you say about this?
- Oh yes, that's a good idea. Which film would you like to (go and) see?
- You know, it's the first showing of the new film from Fredi Murer "Love and Coincidence". They reported about it today in the radio.

- At the Bourbaki Kino, at half past eight.
- How long is it?
- I don't remember exactly. About one a half hours for sure. Well, shall I book two tickets right away?
- Yes, please. And then we meet on Thursday evening, at quarter past eight in front of the cinema. OK?
- Shouldn't I come and pick you up?
- No, no, this isn't necessary. I prefer to come by bike.
