Bill: Well, I don't remember her address, but I know she lives near here. Pat: Fine. But do I go left, right, or straight ahead? Bill: Straight ahead. . . . I remember there's a movie theater just before you turn. Pat: Hey, is that it? Bill: No, I don't think so. . . . There was a coffee shop next door and a drugstore across the street.

Now they're coming up the driveway. Dave: Sarah, you keep watching. I'm going to call the police. Sarah: I think that's a good idea. Dave: What are they doing now? Sarah: They've stopped in the driveway and they're just looking around. Dave: About how old are they? Can, can you tell? Sarah: Well, the tall one looks like he's about twenty, and I guess the short one's in his late forties. Oh, Dave, now they're coming up to the door. Hurry! Dave: It's all right, Sarah. Help is coming. Sarah: Wait a minute! I can really see them now. . . . Oh, Dave! . . . The short one is your cousin George. Dave: My cousin George! George: Dave! So this is the right address. It's been so long since I've seen you, I wasn't sure. Dave: George! What on earth are you doing here? Sarah: Please, come in! George: We were passing through town and decided to stop and say hello. You haven't seen Don here since he was a baby. Don: Hi. Sarah: Well, it's great to see you both again. . . . Dave, I think you should make that phone call, don't you? Dave: Uh, sure.

Tom: Yes, it is now, but you won't believe what just happened to me. Marie: Well, what happened? Tom: Well, first of all, I was a little late leaving my apartment, and so I was in a hurry. Then, just after I started the car, I remembered I didn't have any money with me, so I went back to get my wallet. Marie: Did you find it? Tom: Oh, yes. I found it. That wasn't the problem. The problem was when I got back to my car, I couldn't get in. Marie: Do you mean you locked your keys in the car? Tom: That's right. So, guess what I did after that! Marie: I can't guess. Tom: First I tried to call you, but there was no answer. . . . Then I called one of those twenty-four-hour lock services, . . . and they sent a man over to help me. Marie: And he opened your car door for you? Tom: That's right. Marie: How long did it take? Tom: About two minutes. So, I paid him and came straight here . . . Marie: How much did this cost you? Tom: Oh, it wasn't very expensive. It cost only - oh, no! Marie: What is it? Tom: My wallet! It's still in the car! Marie: Oh! Waitress: Good evening. Are you ready to order now? Marie: Don't worry, Tom. You've had a hard day, and it's my turn to pay, anyway. Tom: Thanks. Marie: Let's see . . . Tom: Well, should we start with an hors d'oeuvre? Marie: Hm-hmm. Tom: OK.

The wineries and vineyards there are some of the most famous in California. Mr. Chang: What's the best way to get there from here? Mrs. Chang: Yes, and are there any interesting places to visit along the way? Ken: The most interesting way is across the Golden Gate Bridge. It's not too crowded this time of day, and you can stop in Sausalito for lunch. Mrs. Chang: Sausalito? Ken: Yes. It's a fascinating little town just across the bridge. You should definitely see it. Mrs. Chang: Can you recommend a good restaurant? Ken: I really like Houlihan's. It's right on the waterfront, and there's a wonderful view of San Francisco across the bay. Mr. Chang: So, Sausalito is on the way to the Napa Valley? Ken: Yes, it is. And so is Muir Woods. You should stop there for a while too, if you have time. Mrs. Chang: Muir Woods? Ken: Yes. It's a beautiful redwood forest. You shouldn't miss it. Mrs. Chang: Mmm. Sounds interesting. Mr. Chang: Well, thank you for the information. We'd better go find our car now. Ken: That will be easy. Take the shuttle bus, just outside the door to the right. Here is your contract and directions to help you find the Golden Gate Bridge. Do you need anything else? Mrs. Chang: No, we have everything that we need. Thank you so much. Ken: OK. Goodbye. See you next week. . . . Oh, and be sure to visit one of the wineries up in Napa Valley. Mr. Chang: Thanks. We will. --------- Mr. Chang: I just remembered. I don't have a map of the Napa Valley. Maybe I can get one here. Mrs. Chang: Don't worry, dear. We can get one in Sausalito after lunch.
