- Hi! Can I help you? |
Martin |
- Yes, we had a reservation for this weekend. |
Clerk |
- All right, what was the name, sir? |
Martin |
- Baum, Martin Baum. |
Clerk |
- Baum . . . Baum . . . oh, yes, here it is. A double for two nights? |
Martin |
- Yes, that’s right. But we were wondering . . . would you happen to have a suite available this weekend, something with a living area and a kitchenette? |
Clerk |
- Well, the only one that’s available this weekend is the executive suite, and that’ll run you $140 a night. |
Martin |
- I see. That’s pretty high . . . |
Clerk |
- You know, sir, this double is more than twenty feet square, and it has a refrigerator. |
Martin |
- Oh, really? That sounds fine, then. What do you say, Sally? |
Sally |
- Sounds good to me, too. |
Clerk |
- Good, the double then. Do you have a credit card, sir? |
Martin |
- No, I’ll be paying cash |
Clerk |
- Then I’ll have to ask you to pay in advance. Fifty-five a night, plus $8 tax comes to $126. And would you fill out this registration form, please? Here’s a pen. Just your name, address, and the make and license number of your car. |
Martin |
- OK . . . here you are. And travelers checks for $130. |
Clerk |
- Fine, Mr. Baum. Here’s $4 change. Check-out time is 12:00 noon. The bellman will take you up ... Harvey! Room 615 ... If you need anything, just let me know. |
Martin |
- Thank you. Good night. |
