Create this script and save it as a stay open application with the name
"greet":
on greetwith(niceword)
set response to niceword & " to you too!"
return response
end greet
Start the script application. Now open your editor of choice and enter this
script:
tell application "greet"
set niceword to "hello"
set responseIgot to greetwith(niceword)
end tell
display dialog responseIgot
Got it now? : )

and what does the ignoring application responses do?
Exactly that. Normally, if you ask (tell) an application to do something,
your script will wait for a response from that application (error code, value
returned, etc.). If the task is time consuming, your script may time out
before getting a response. If you don't need to know that the task was
finished before proceeding, you can ignore the application's response and
just move on.
ignoring application responses
tell application "greet"
greetwith("bad word")
end tell
end ignoring
-- move on with other stuff
