Nick: Hi, Amy. Lily.
Jack: Hi, you two.
Amy: Hello.
Jack: What’s so funny?
Lily: Nothing – honestly.
Nick: Well, what were you talking about? You’ve got big
wide grins on your faces!
Lily: Oh, this and that. You know, just chatting.
Amy: We were talking about thriller films. We’re thinking
of watching one. Want to join us?
Nick: Yeah, count me in.
Jack: Sure. I haven’t seen a good film for far too long. Got anything in mind?
Lily: Well, there was one film we were thinking about …
Amy: But I’ve seen it – and anyway, it’d be far too scary for you two!
Nick: Do you want to bet? There’s never been a horror film that I didn’t watch all the way through.
Jack: Take it easy, Nick – I think she’s pulling your leg!
Nick: Oh. Right. Sorry!
Amy: Hmm, I’m so tired. Been revising too much, I think.
Lily: Me too. Let’s take a break. We could watch a film
together later.
Amy: Could do. But, what do you mean? At the cinema or

Lily: I’m easy. Depends what’s on and what kind of thing you

Amy: Oh, I’m not bothered really. Whatever. I just love films.
Lily: Anything, as long as it’s good?
Amy: Yeah.
Lily: That’s my motto too. Though h I’m kind of into suspense movies. You know, thrillers, things to make you
bite your nails!
Amy: Me too. There was one on TV the other night, ah, what was it called? It’s on the tip of my tongue.
It’s a pretty old film. It’s about four guys from the city going on a weekend fishing trip on a river
somewhere. Oh, I remember now – it’s called Deliverance.
Lily: Oh yeah, that rings a bell. But I don’t think I’ve seen it.
Amy: You should! I mean, if you want scary, it’s seriously scary! I was on the edge of my seat the
whole time.
Lily: Why? What happens?
Amy: Oh, well, the four guys kind of get lost. And … well, there’s one bit where the guys are in the woods,
they’re trying to find how to get back to the river, and then ……suddenly these two really weird-looking
guys appear …
