W: Welcome to Friday Cinema. Would you like to purchase a movie ticket?
M: Umm... I want to know when The Ring is showing?
W: There are 5 shows today. One at noon, and then 2 p. m., 5 p. m., 8 p. m. and 11 p. m. On the weekend, besides these 5 shows, there is another show at midnight.
M: I’m sorry. Could you tell me the show times for today again?
W: There are 5 shows today, one at noon, and then 2 p. m., 5 p. m., 8 p. m. and 11 p. m.
M: OK. I want 6 tickets for the 11 p. m. show tonight. Are there still 6 tickets available that are seated together?
W: Sorry. There are only three tickets left. How about the 8 p. m. show? There are still 10 tickets left for that one.
M: But I have a friend who doesn’t get off work till 8 p. m., so he won’t make the beginning of the movie.
W: Well, I think it should be OK if he misses the first ten minutes.
M: He works about an hour’ s drive from this movie theater, so he will never be able to make it in time.
W: Would you like to see another movie then?
M: No, we all want to see this one. Is there any way that we could buy tickets now for tomorrow?
W: Yes, you can order tickets now for tomorrow.
