Grammar

Will and be

Will you be going to the movies? If you will and be going to the dinner after that, will you give me a lift?... If you will and are going to the dinner after that, will you give me a lift?
I understand sometimes we need to say more or split up sentences to be clearer. In the meantime I would like to be able to say succinctly if it is possible.
Are will and be and will and are above grammatical? Thanks for your help.
