Hey there Darcy. I need to get to midtown from the Trade Center. Can you get me one of those Lyft things? I don't have the app installed on my phone.
It would be my pleasure, Ms. Carmody. Can you tell me the nearest cross streets where you need to be picked up?
I'm on the side of the complex where Liberty Park and the World Center Hotel are...hold on. Bill's Bar and Burger. 85 West Street.
Thank you. Now where are you headed today. You said you needed to get to midtown?
Yeah, I have to meet Taliesin at the Garden. What's the address there?
Madam, that is Four Penn Plaza. Would you like me to enter that location?
Ok, ok, great. It's actually Farley's at the Garden. We were gonna get drinks before the Westminster thing.
Perfect. I'll attach a note that you wish to be dropped off on the west side of Madison Square Garden.
Thanks so much. How much is that gonna cost? It's on the expense account, but I like to keep tabs on these things.
Certainly. I need to know which size of vehicle you want to travel in. They offer a personal vehicle, an XL variant with more room, a shared ride , and two "Lux Black" options. One smaller and one spacious.
Hey, I guess we can splurge this quarter. Let's do the smaller Lux Black.
28 to 32 dollars, according to the app. Is that acceptable?
Of course. How long is this gonna take? I'm supposed to meet Tali at 2.
The estimated time of arrival is fourteen minutes after pickup.
Outstanding. If it gets here in the next ten minutes I'll have time to spare. Let's do it.
Absolutely. I'll request your Lyft now. To confirm, you're being picked up at 85 West Street and going to Madison Square Garden at Four Pennsylvania Plaza. You wish to be left at the west side of the building on Eighth Avenue.
You got it. Hey Darcy, you ever been to a dog show?
No, Ms. Carmody. I did see "Best in Show" once though. Okay, your Lyft has been ordered and will arrive in approximately six minutes.
Thanks, Darcy. Hey, you can see who the driver is on that app, right? 
Yes, madam. The driver's name is Ayyan. He looks like a sharp dresser.
Wonderful. This is why we live in the greatest city on Earth. You have a fine afternoon young lady; I'll get in touch with you again this evening to talk about tomorrow. 
You too, Ms. Carmody. Goodbye now.
