Oh, I don’t know if you heard, but someone moved into that old house down the road.
b
Yeah, I know. I met the owner of the house yes- terday as he was moving in. His name is Armand.
a
Really? What’s he like? You have to fill me in.
b
Actually, he’s a bit strange. I don’t know... I’ve got a bad feeling about him.
a
Really? Why?
b
Well, yesterday I brought over a housewarming gift, but Armand started acting really weird, and then he practically kicked me out! I tried to, sort of, peek into his house, but everything was so dark inside that I couldn’t really get a good look.
a
Well, you’ll never guess what I saw this morn- ing. A delivery truck pulled into his driveway, and it dropped off a long, rectangular box. It almost looked like a coffin!
b
You see! Why would he... C: Hello ladies...
b
Ah, Armand! You scared the heck out of me! This is my friend Doris. C: A pleasure to meet you...If you are not doing any- thing tonight, I would like to have you both for din- ner. I mean...I would like to have you both over for dinner.
