Michele : We’re going to be so late, I think we should grab a cab !
Paul : OK, I’ll see if I can find one down here.
Michele : Here’s one !
Paul : Ah !
Paul : (to taxi driver) We need to go to Tutti Frutti, 3 Northumberland Avenue, it’s near the High Street.
Taxi driver : Sure, do you have a preferred route ?
Paul : The quickest please !
Michele : I’ll call Melissa and tell her we’re going to be late.
Hi Melissa, it’s Michele. I’m really sorry we’re going to be late. We couldn’t find a cab and now we’re stuck in traffic ! I’m sorry, could you turn the music down please ? I can’t hear my friend on the phone !
Taxi driver : Sorry, yes, we’ll be there in 10 minutes.
Michele : I’ll buy you a drink when we get there !
Paul : How was she ?
Michele : OK I think. Did you bring the present ?
Paul : What present ?
Michele : Her birthday present ?
Paul : Oh no, I left it… I left it behind in the flat.
Michele : I’m sorry, we need to go back to the flat. We’ve forgotten something…
Paul : We’re going to be even later now.
Michele : We’ll just say that there’s traffic and an accident !
