W: Listen! Fm terribly sorry I’m late.
M: Oh, that’s all right, it doesn’t really matter, does it? I haven’t got anything better to do, have I?
W. Please don’t be like that. Just let me explain. I...I tried to get here in time but just after I left home, the car broke down.
M: The car broke down?
W: Yes, and...well...luckily...there was a garage near me. And...and it took them a while to repair it.
M: Why didn’t you at least phone?
W: I would have! But I didn’t know the number of the restaurant.
M: You could have looked it up in the telephone book!
W; Yes, but you’ll never believe this...I couldn’t remember the name of the restaurant. I knew where it was, but forgot the name.
M. I see. Well, at least it was lucky you found a garage to repair your car.
W: Yes. It was something I couldn’t do myself, it didn’t take too long, but that’s why I’m late, you see.
M: Hu huh. Which garage, by the way?
W: Pardon?
M: Which garage did you take it to?
W: Uh...the one near my flat, you know, Lewis Brothers.
M: Yes, I know that garage. It’s the only one near your flat.
W: Hmm. Well now, let’s have something to cat. Uh, what about some...
M: I know the garage very well!
W: Yes. Let’s see now. Yes, I think I’ll have some...
M: A pity it’s Sunday.
W: Pardon?
M: A pity it’s Sunday. That garage is closed on Sunday!
