B: "Just killing time until I find something to do. What are you up
to?"

A: "I already tried to call up some of the guys, but they are all
busy."
B: "Where's your girlfriend? I thought you were going out with her
today."
A: "She's out shopping with her friends."
B: "Let's go to Starbucks and think of something to do then."
A: "Aright. Do you have any cigarettes?"

You should read the Conversation Dialog to help you study after going through
the listening lesson. Do not view the Conversation Dialog prior to listening to
the audio, or prior to answering all the questions.
