Hello, darling. I've just heard I have to go to Italy for a couple of days. I am flying this evening.
Oh, David. Do you really have to go? You know the Johnsons are coming around to see us tonight.
Yes, I know. But I can't help it. They'll have to come some other time.
Then we won't be able to go to the theatre tomorrow.
No, I am afraid we have to change all our plans.
All right. David, when exactly are you leaving then?
I am taking the 7 o'clock plane to Rome.
Are you coming home before you go to the airport?
I am afraid I can't. I am still having a talk with my boss here.
What about your suitcase?
I am afraid you'll have to pack it for me.
And who is fetching it for you?
You'll bring it, darling.
Why me?
