Context
Here we meet Amanda and Barry the married couple plus their friend Jamie and Susan one of the members of the "Group". We get the feel of the relationship between Amanda and Barry and their relationship with Jamie. There is reference to the MD, Margaret and it is clear she is not that popular. Susan and Jamie have a "Love/Hate" relationship that might go further in an unseen future. We should get the feeling that the humor is fun, not malicious.

Jamie. “Did you see the football last night, I thought City were a bit lucky in the end.”
Barry. “Won it in the first half then went to sleep, nearly cost them. We badly need a new centre half.”
Jamie. “And a full back and a holding midfielder wouldn’t go amiss.”
Amanda. “Can you two not talk about anything else, all I ever hear from you is “City” this and “City” that, were here to sing not talk about football.”
Barry. You women will never understand, this could be City’s year, first time for over fifty years.”
Amanda. “I’m sorry but the words “So what” come to mind.”
Barry. “So what? So what? You women are amazing, you just don’t get it do you.”
Amanda. “Don’t get what? All I know is we are here for the music so will you please shut up about football for the next few hours. Remind me, how much do we pay for Sky Sport? I would have thought that you would be satisfied with watching it all day every day without talking about it too”
Jamie. “You’re wasting your time Barry, my missus is just the same.”
Barry. “I suppose you’re right. Is Dave coming tonight”?
Jamie. “I’m not sure, he isn’t fussy to our MD, mind you, who is”?
Barry. “She is a bit of a pain but she knows her stuff.”
Jamie. “She may know her stuff as you put it but she could smile occasionally.”
Barry. “Fair do’s if you looked like her you wouldn’t be inclined to smile much either.”
Amanda. “Huh, look who’s talking, Brad Pitt.”
Barry. “I do have a “look” of him now you come to mention it.”
(Entering behind these three are a few more people, men, but mainly women.)
Susan.”The only way you would be mistaken for Brad Pitt is down one, and what are you wearing? You look like a tall wallet. (Barry is wearing a leather jacket.)
Barry. “What? Oh, Hi Susan brought the usual suspects with you I see.”
Susan. “Sensible girls always travel in threes.”
Jamie. “So do witches.”
Susan. “Nice one, been in the knife drawer have we”?
Jamie. “I have to be sharp to trade insults with you.”
Mary. “Now, now you two, anyone would think you were married.”
Jamie. “Married, to her? God forbid.”
Susan. “You should be so lucky.”
Barry. “Okay, enough you two, come on let’s find a seat before the rest of the rabble arrive.”
