A: Hi, I need a hotel room.

B: That's no problem at all. May I have your name, please?

A: Certainly. My name is John Sandals.

B: It's a pleasure, Mr. Sandals. My name is Michelle. What days will you need a room?

A: Friday afternoon, April 14 through Monday morning, April 17.

B: One minor problem, sir. Our prices are now slightly higher. Is that acceptable, sir?

A: Please tell me the price, so I can make a decision.

B: It'll be $308 nightly.

A: That's a reasonable price.

B: Good! Now, sir, do you have a preference for smoking or nonsmoking?

A: I quit smoking, so nonsmoking.

B: I hear you, sir. Nonsmoking. Now, about the bed, is a queen-size okay?

A: A queen sounds great.

B: Okay, sir, let me reserve those dates, there. Now, if you'll just tell me your phone number.

A: That would be 626-555-1739.

B: That's 626-555-1739. Thank you so much for choosing our hotel, sir!
