A: Hi, I'm John Sandals, and I have a reservation.

B: Would you show me your ID, sir, please?

A: Here you go.

B: Thank you very much. Now, sir, do you have a credit card?

A: Certainly! Would you like my American Express card?

B: Regrettably, Mr. Sandals, we accept only MasterCard or VISA.

A: I thought American Express was accepted everywhere. Never mind. Here's my VISA.

B: Thanks. You're in room 507, a big, nonsmoking room, with a queen bed. Is that okay, sir?

A: Yes, that's just fine.

B: I'm happy to hear that. Here is your key. Just dial 0 if you need anything.
