Hilda, I know you're busy, and I really hate to bother you, but...<br />What is it, Bill?<br />Well, I was hoping you could give me a ride to the airport.<br />Can't you take the subway?<br />My flight is early in the morning on Sunday. I don't think the subway is open then.<br />Well, I've got tons of homework to do before next Monday. You know we have exams on Wednesday afternoon.<br />What about calling a taxi? It shouldn't be too expensive on a day with so little traffic.<br />You're right, but it's not money I'm worried about. It's the time of day.<br />You think there won't be any cars on the road in the early morning?<br />Exactly. I'll make it up to you. I could explain how you're helping me, so our teacher might excuse you.<br />That would be great, but I doubt if I can get out of a final exam.<br />My neighbor sometimes drives people to the downtown area. He charges them six dollars.<br />Do you think he'd take me?<br />I will be happy to give you his number.<br />Hilda, I know you're busy, and I really hate to bother you, but...<br />What is it, Bill?<br />Well, I was hoping you could give me a ride to the airport.<br />Can't you take the subway?<br />My flight is early in the morning on Sunday.
