Millie： How about some music？

Sandra： No, let's wait till Robbie gets back from the airport.

Millie： Did she say why she had to leave today？

Mike： She told Robbie that her flight tomorrow was canceled, so she had to take an earlier flight today.

Robbie： Thank you.

Alexandra： Open it, please. I think you might be amused.

Robbie： OK. I can't believe it！

Alexandra： I guess we were thinking the same thought.

Robbie： You had it engraved！

Ellen： Read it, Robbie.

Robbie： "In friendship, always. Alexandra." I knew we thought alike, but this is too much！ Thank you.

Mike： All right！ Let's have some music！

Robbie： Miss Pappas？

Alexandra： Mr.Stewart……
