(Mr. Evans misplaced
some travel documents, and the staff scrambles to reproduce the documents and
have them sent to the right client.)
Mr.
Evans: Now, about the travel documents for the Australian group. We’ve had everything mailed to them, right?
Cheryl:
Mr. Evans, we gave you the package of travel documents to give to Mr. Wells the
other night at dinner, before he flew home to Sydney.
Mr.
Evans: A white envelope about this big?
Cheryl:
Yes.
Mr.
Evans: I gave it to Mr. Rashid before he left for Lebanon.
Cheryl:
Oh, Mr. Wells needs those documents the day after tomorrow! His group is flying
in on Thursday.
Marie:
I’ll call the courier. If they can pick up a package by 5:00 P.M., we should e
OK.
Paul:
That gives us an hour. I’ll reprint the tour information, but what about the
travel guides? I can’t print twenty-five copies that fast.
Cheryl:
I’ll call Copies To Go and have them
reprint the travel guides.
Marie:
They can’t do a rush job. Call Harper’s instead. They’re faster and much more
reliable. (on the phone) Hello, National
Express? I need to get a package to Australia a.s.a.p.!
Paul:
If Harper’s can’t make the color copies that fast, we’ll take black and white.
Cheryl:
Bob, are you reprinting the tickets?
Bob:
Yep.
Cheryl:
(on the phone) Hello. I need to get
twenty-five color documents printed
right away.
Mr.
Evans: (on the phone) Yes, it’s very much a hurry.
Cheryl:
Who are you calling, Mr. Evans?
Mr.
Evans: What’s that? Oh, un ... my tailor.
Cheryl:
Your tailor?
Mr.
Evans: These sleeves are too long, and they’re driving me crazy.
