You are late.
I'm sorry, it was too cold, and my car couldn't start. I had one to the garage with the heater. I tried to call you, but you couldn't get connection.
Couldn't get connection?
Yes, your number is out of service.
Really? I didn't know. Let me check. You're right.
So I couldn't get through.
It's a serious problem. I make expecting an important call. The theater is guilty. It supposed to call me this evening, and discuss my play. What were happened if they can't reach me?
Well, the only thing you can do is pay the fee to recover your service.
