Sara: What are you up to [ʌp tu:] this weekend?

Marcos: Not much. I need to clean up my apartment. I've been putting it off [pʊtɪŋ ɪt ɔf] for weeks.

S: I know the feeling. I need to fill out some forms [fɔrmz] for work, and I've been putting that off too. Do you want to go out on Saturday night?

M: Sure! Let me look up some restaurants. I heard about a new place. Let me check it out online.

S: Great. Can you pick me up at 8?

M: Of course. Oh, I just found out that my friend Luis is back in town. He showed up yesterday without telling anyone. Should I ask him to come along?

S: Yes! I haven't seen him since he went back to Argentina. We have a lot to catch up on [kætʃ ʌp ɑn].

M: Perfect. I'll call him back. He called me this morning but I couldn't pick up.
