Sergei: They’ve
unlucky so far, that’s all.
Alan: Well, let’s wait and see.
Sergei:
you often go to football matches, Alan?
Alan: I try to see all the important games. It’s sometimes difficult to get tickets, of course.
Sergei: Well, you can see all the important matches on television, I suppose.
Alan: That’s never quite the same.
Sergei: I suppose, you’re right. Can I get you another beer?
Alan: Let’s get it after the game, perhaps. I think it’s time to go back.
Sergei: Let’s go then. And thanks for my beer, Alan.
