Then he asked me if I (4 want) a lift home, so I said no, I (5 be) hungry, so we went out for a curry.

I asked him what he (6 do) for a living, and he said he (7 do) some undercover work for the CIA at the moment. He said he (8 can not) give me his address because he (9 move) around all the time. So I asked him why he (10 think) I (11 want) his address. Then he asked if he (12 can) have my phone number. He said he (13 call) me today to fix for me to go to America with him. So I asked him why he (14 want) to take me to America, and he said he (15 think) he (16 fall) in love with me. I knew he (17 lie), but it was kind of fun. Anyway, I told him I (18 have) a boyfriend already, but he said that (19 not matter). We (20 be) meant for each other, he said, and nobody (21 go) to stand in our way, because our lives (22 be) written in the stars.
