Nothing to say, yet
The dialogue is about a couple at an airport. They arrive early to allow for traffic, but the plane is delayed. The wife goes to ask a man about the announcement, but the husband is frustrated because he was talking too much to hear it. The wife asks for the time at the end. Dialogue 51. What time does the plane leave? What's the time? Ten past two, dear. When does the plane leave? Not until a quarter to four. Why did we get here so early? Because you said we must allow plenty of time for traffic jams and accidents. Where's my briefcase? What have you done with my briefcase? It's there, dear, between your feet. Emily, where are you going? I'm going to ask that gentleman what they were announcing over the loudspeaker. Which gentleman? That man over there with all the packages. Who is he? I don't know, but he looked as though he was listening to the announcement. Yes, I was afraid so. The plane's delayed. It won't be leaving till five. How did he manage to hear it if we didn't? Because he was listening. You were talking too much to hear. What do you mean I was talking too much? Oh, dear. Never mind. What time is it now, Emily?
