Jane: I would love to come. Thank you for inviting me. Who's going to come to the party?


Martha: Well, a number of people haven't told me yet. But, Peter and Mark are going to help out with the cooking!

Jane:  I'll help, too!


Martha: That would be great!

Jane: I'll make lasagna!


Martha: That sounds delicious! I know my cousins are going to be there. I'm sure they'll love it.

Jane:  Maybe I'll bake a cake.


Martha:  They'll love it.

Jane: Well, if you say so... Is there going to be a theme for the party?


Martha: No, I don't think so. Just a chance to get together and have fun.

Jane: I'm sure it'll be lots of fun.


Martha: But I'm going to hire a clown!

Jane: A clown? You must be joking!
