A: I just walked in and there’s water everywhere!

B: Calm down. What seems to be the problem?

A: I don’t know. I’ve been out all day, and now there’s water everywhere.

B: Did you leave the sink running?

A: No. Oh, wait a minute. I think it’s the dishwasher.

It must be broken. I turned it on this morning before I left, and now the kitchen is flooded.

A: Hello, Amy? It’s Mark.

B: Hi.

Mark! Are you on your way?

A: Yes, but I’m calling because I’m going to be late. B: Did you get lost?

A: No, but I missed the 6 o’clock train. I’ll have to catch the next one.

B: That’s okay. Thanks for calling.

A: Oh, no, the entire bathroom is flooded!

B: Did you leave the water running or something?

A: No, I never do that.

I don’t know what happened. Wait a minute … do you feel that?

B: Yes, there’s water dripping from the ceiling. Look!

A: I guess the upstairs neighbors left the water running in their bathroom. Now.

ours is flooded! We better call the manager, quick!

A: Hey, can you help me? I’ve got a 10 o’clock appointment, and I think I’m going to be a little late.

B: Did you get lost?

A: I’m afraid so.

B: Where are you?

A: I’m just opposite the new train station. According to my map, there’s a street that goes right through it!

B: Yes, there used to be. Now, you have to go down to Main Street and take a right, and then another right.

A: Oh, okay. Thanks. I’ll be there in a little while.

A: Hello. This is Robert Baldwin.

B: Yes, Robert, what can I do for you?

A: I’m calling because I’m going to be late.

B: Did you get lost?

A: No. I’ve got a flat tire. I’m going to have to call a tow truck.

B: Well, why don’t we just reschedule the appointment?

A: Okay, I guess we’ll have to.

A: Hi, Sue. This is Eric.

B: Hi Eric.

What’s up?

A: I’m afraid I’m going to be a little late for work today.

B: Did you miss the train?

A: No. But I was sitting in a cafe this morning, having coffee. The server walked by with someone else’s coffee.

She tripped and spilled it all over me! Now I have to go home and change my shirt.

B: No problem. Thanks for calling.
