at Mr. Smith's residence:

(at the dinner table).

Sophia: I love this meal. You are aware of how our cousin is  when it comes to shopping, 

She  essentially purchased the entire  building. I appreciate you saving me. I was afraid I would have to cook  when I got home.

Maxwell: I know. When does the party start?

Sophia: by 5:00 pm

Maxwell: Okay. by the way, you are going with Ethan right?

Sophia: yap.  I nearly forgot, brother. That custard lady, She is our  cousin's closest bestie.

Maxwell: What, Why haven't we ever  met her?

Sophia: I'm not sure.
Maxwell: She'll attend the celebration as well, won't she?

Sophia: she will. Roseline is her name.

Maxwell: Why do I need her name?

Sophia: merely handing it to you  without  any strings attached. What present are you giving your  cousin?

Maxwell: I'm not giving her anything. I've already given her money.

Sophia: OK. By the way, thanks for the food. (She picked up the plates and washed  them).
