oh, no, it seems that I've lost my train ticket.
are you kidding? The train leaves in an hour. Where did you put it?
it was in my pocket, but now I can't find it.
is it in the other pocket?
no, it is not here. Damn it! I'm going to have to buy another ticket.
let's go to the inquiry desk first to check whether anyone has got it and turned it in.
ok.
how may I help you, sir?
I'm wondering if anyone has turned in a train ticket. I just lost my ticket for Beijing tonight.
let me see... I'm sorry. Nothing's been turned in. Do you want to buy another one?
yes. If I don't make it to Beijing tomorrow morning, my wife would kill me. How much is it cost?
150 yuan for hard seats.
Fine.
... Sir?
