Write a dialogue for two arguing friends.

Friend 1: You are best friends. Tonight your friend wants to see a movie, Dangerous
Instinct. Unfortunately, you have already seen it, didn’t like it, and you don’t want to
see it again. The movie starts at 7 o’clock and you arranged to meet at 6:45 outside
the theater. You arrive at 7:20 on purpose, because you’d rather skip the movie and
go for drinks instead.
Friend 2: You really want to see Dangerous Instinct and don’t have any other friends
to go see it with. You arrived at 6:45 and waited outside the theater. It’s raining and
cold. Your friend arrives late and you’re so angry.

I didn’t know that, did I?
That’s why you’re late, isn’t it?
I’m sorry I shouted at you.
Let me make it up to you.
