Tom: Did you enjoy the film yesterday?

Nick: Well, it’s a long story. I got in the bus but I had forgotten my bus fare.

Tom: So, what did you do?

Nick: I got off the bus and ran home, but everybody had gone out. I couldn’t get in, because I hadn’t taken my key. So, I went to Paul’s house to borrow some money…

Tom: Wait, let me guess: he’d spent all his money that afternoon.

Nick: No. He hadn’t come home yet. I had to wait for about twenty minutes. After he had lent me some money, I caught the next bus. But when I got to the cinema, the film had almost finished.
