Can you hold my place in line? I need to step outside to see if my wife has arrived.
No problem, sir, but if I get to the front of the line and you haven't returned. I can't wait for you. You will simply lose your place.
That's fine. I just need to go out for a second and I can't buy the tickets until she tells me what movie she wants to see.
Can't you just call her and ask?
She won't make up her mind until she sees the movie posters. She's very selective about the movies that we watch.
I understand. My sister is the same way. You should hurry though.
