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.
