Ron: And you need a mix of men and women. I went to a party recently where there were five women for every man. Gee: Sounds all right to me. Alice: Oh, shut up. So what do you think are the three most important things? Ron: Food and drink, music and the right mix of people. Gee: Right. SCRIPT Great Party, Isn39。m Lenore. Nice to meet you. Tony: You too ...

Anyway, he arranged to meet me at the airport. Jack: And when was that? Kathy: It was almost a year ago. I felt really nervous, but I couldn39。t even leave the airport.
