A: Can you take me to Civic Opera House, please?
B: Sure thing. You going to that musical that's playing there?
A: Yes. But it starts at six. Do you think we'll make it in time?
B: Traffic's light and we're not that far away. I'll get you
there in about ten minutes.
A: Great! I was late the last time I went, and I couldn't get
in till intermission. That's not good if you're a theater critic
for the paper like I am.
B: Well, don't worry; this time you'll have plenty of time to
spare.
-- A short time later --
B: Here you are, sir, Civic Opera House. What did I tell you?
You're thirty minutes early.
A: I sure appreciate it. How much do I owe you?
B: Seventeen twenty-five.
A: Okay, here's a twenty. Keep the change.
B: Thank you, sir. Enjoy the show.
A: I will. Thank you.
