What will the man most probably do?

W: can you give me a hand, Mike? I want to move a few heavy items into the ear.
M: I’d like to. But I am already 5 minutes late for my appointment with Mr. Johnson. And his office is on the other side of the campus.

M: I bought a few books at the new bookstore. Would you like to have a look at them?
W: A few? It looks like you bought out the bookstore.
