70. A Promise Is a Promise

Larry is talking to his classmate， Hedy.

L： Hey， Hedy！ What seems to be bothering you？

H： I don’t understand why my boyfriend finds it so hard to keep his word.

L： What has he done this time？

H： Well， he made a date with me to see a movie last night， but he stood me up.

L： What a lousy guy！

H： I know. And there’s nothing worse than to be in love with such a guy.

L： Why don’t you just dump him？

H： I can’t.

L： Why not？

H： I promised I’d never leave him. And a promise is a promise.

L： Oh， boy.
