W: May I help you?

M: Yes. I’d like to book three seats to Calgary Canada on a flight leaving sometime before next Sunday.

W: Economy class?

M: Yes.

W: One-way or round trip?

M: One-way.

W: There aren’t any direct flights, sir. You will have to change in Vancouver.

M: That’s all right.

W: There is a Canadian Airlines Flight 30 leaving Beijing next Friday at 10:00 am. It has three seats available. Will that be all right?

M: That’s fine.

W: Your name, please?

M: B-a-s-i-l, Basil. How much is the ticket?

W: $ for one.

M: Oh, no. Is it almost 7:00 am? Why didn’t my alarm work?

W: What’s wrong? Your class starts at 8:00 am. You have plenty of time, don’t you?

M: No, today is my school field trip. I need to be at school by 7:15 am.

W: Oh, yeah, that’s right. You asked me to pack your lunch box last night.

M: Can you drive me there right now, Mom? I would be late if I took the bus.

W: Sorry, sweetie. I haven’t taken a shower or gotten dressed. I need at least 20 minutes.

M: No way. I will be in big trouble.

W: Oh. Look out the window! Seems like Mrs. Anderson will drive her son, Billy, to school right now. How about you go with them? Billy is your best friend. I’m sure Mrs. Anderson wouldn’t mind taking you with them, right?

M: You’re brilliant, Mom.
