W: Hi, Mr. Smith.
M:
Hi, Debra. I just dropped by to see how you’re getting along with your packing. Need any help? (10)
W: No, everything’s OK. Thanks. But I’ve got a lot more things to take home than I’d thought. It’ll probably be a little overweight.
M:
You know that as long as the two cases are less than 40 kg, that’s all right for flights to America. (11) You can have a handbag and a small backpack as carry-ons, too.
W: Then that won’t be a problem.
M:
Now, when did you say your flight leaves? (12)
W:
Let me see...at 10:30 a.m. (12)
M: I’ll come by and pick you up at 8:30 a.m. Then we can arrive early enough to check in without rushing.
W: Thanks, Mr. Smith. You don’t have to bother, though. I can call a taxi.
M: Look, I don’t have anything scheduled for tomorrow morning, so it won’t be any trouble picking you up.
W: Good old Mr. Smith: always so helpful!

M: Bonnie, I’m super nervous right now.
W: Why, what’s up? I thought you were flying down to L.A. today. Are you afraid of flying or something?
M: No, I fly all the time.
It’s just that I’m doing my biggest interview of my entire career tomorrow, (13) (15) and I don’t want to mess it up.
W:
Come on, you’ve been at the magazine for more than a year. Your editor wouldn’t send you down there unless he had confidence in your abilities. Who is the interview with? (13)
M: Quentin Tarantino.
W: Uh…what? Quentin Tarantino? The director? Are you serious?
M: Yeah!
W: Oh, my God! I can’t believe this!
Pulp Fiction is my favorite movie of all time, (14) and
Kill Bill might be number two. And even my parents liked
Jackie Brown. He’s, like, A-list famous! He might be the best director of the last twenty years.[:]
M: Do you see now why I’m nervous?
W: Yes, I’d be scared out of my mind if I were you. But this will be good for your career. Hey, there is something that I still don’t understand.
M:
What? (16)
W: Why on earth did Quentin Tarantino agree to do an interview for your magazine, Trevor?
M:
What’s that supposed to mean? (16)
W:
Um…never mind. (16) Good luck down there!
Get a good night’s sleep tonight because Saturday will be the biggest day of your life! (15)
