- Olivier, we should plan a relaxing weekend because it would be nice to do nothing at all for once. - Excellent idea! I really need to rest. - To spend a quiet weekend, we'll have to switch off our mobile [US: cell] phones. Otherwise, we will get distracted all the time! - Yes! So, on Saturday morning, let's have a lie-in and then, we'll have brunch. On Sunday, we could watch films while eating popcorn. It will be a perfect weekend! - I can't wait for Saturday!

I'll be right with you...
