When am I coming over to dinner
Looking for a home
----------------------
Mario: I don't need much really, just a place to sleep, a bedroom.
Jane: Mario, what about a living room?
Mario: OK, a furnished room, half a living room, half a bedroom.
That's enough for me.
Jane: Not me, I like to cook. I need a nice big kitchen.
Mario: So when am I coming over to dinner?
Jane: Mario! I don't have the place yet.
Mario: So, hurry up Jane, find the place. I'm hungry.
