Dialogue
A: A Sofia nem desconfia que a gente tá organizando essa festa surpresa de aniversário. Plano perfeito!
B: Com certeza. Eu passei a noite inteira fazendo decoração. Agora, onde foi que eu botei o glitter...
A: Peraí, como é que ela vem pra cá, mesmo?
B: Eu disse que precisava de ajuda para instalar meu laptop novo. Ela caiu que nem um patinho...
A: Todos os convidados responderam, alguns já estão até vindo.
B: Você preparou a comida e a playlist, né?
A: Tá tudo pronto.
B: Ah, olha o glitter aqui! Vamos nos arrumar antes que as pessoas cheguem. A gente tá parecendo umas zumbis.
A: Tá, vou voar pro chuveiro.
A: Sophia will never suspect that we are throwing this surprise birthday party, it’s the perfect plan!
B: Definitely. I have been working all night on these decorations. Now, where did I put that glitter…
A: Wait, how is she getting here again?
B: I told her that I needed some help setting up my new laptop. She totally bought it.
A: The guests have all RSVPed; some are on their way as we speak!
B: You prepared the food and got the playlist ready, right?
A: Done and done!
B: Ah, there’s the glitter! Let’s get dressed before anyone arrives. We look like zombies.
A: Okay, I’m gonna jump in the shower.
