Lesson 33 Going Clubbing Kathy: Those bouncers knew you by name! You must be a regular here. John: My friend is a part owner of this place. He lets me in whenever I want. Kathy: Wow, lucky you.

Kathy: 마지막으로 클럽에 간 게 언제인지 기억이 안나. 나 지금 멋지게 즐기고 있어. John: 누구나 이 곳에 들어 올 수 있는 건 아니야. 이곳은 정말 상류층만 상대하거든. Kathy: 나도 알겠어. 여기 있는 사람들이 확실히 부유해 보이네.네. John: 여기서 항상 유명 인사들을 발견할 수 있어. 유명인사로 말하자면, 저기 봐.
