I have a lot of people to take out this week. 

This guyʼs company is one of our most 

important clients; Iʼd better do a good job 

entertaining him. 

Ah, so what the manager likes best is sake! 

The manager is a heavy drinker. Itʼs going to 

be hard to keep up with him. 

The oysters here are really something! 

Uh-oh. My feet have gone to sleep on me. 



There are a lot of good-looking hostesses at 

this club. 

Iʼd like to wrap things up now. 

Maybe I shouldnʼt keep on singing so much; 

after all, Iʼm the host. 

Iʼd better go ahead and sing the first song. 

Yech! Heʼs a terrible singer. 

He has a poor voice. 

I wish I could plug my ears. 



This guy really spreads it on thick; his non-stop flattery 

is getting on my nerves. 

I got ripped off!!! 

This guy just canʼt hold his liquor. 

Iʼm glad thatʼs over with me. 

OK! The negotiations are going to be a success! I 

know it! 

Next time, I want someone to take me out.

without the singerʼs track. We enjoy singing 

along with it when we have parties.
