Situation 7:
In a Taxi
Where to pal?
To Carleton College,please.Do you know where
Elliot House is?
Elliot's house? I thought you wanted to go to Carleton.
I do.And it's not Elliot's house,it's
Elliot House.That's the name of my dormitory.
Oh,why didn't you say so? And no,I don't know where it is.
That's all right.Just go to the college and I'll give you
directions from there.
You got it.
(They arrive at the front gate of the college.)
We're here.Now where to?
Make a right turn at the gate,then go
down two streets and take a left.
Will that be a left on Broadway?
Yes.Elliot House is at 357 Broadway.
Good for Elliot House,but Broadway is
a one - way street. I can only turn right.
Woops,sorry about that.I don't have a
car and so I never pay attention to which
streets are one- way.
Don't worry about it,kid.I know a shortcut anyway.
I'll take the first left instead of the
second,and then go around the back of your dorm.
Great.It's a good thing you know the
streets around here better than I do.
That's my job. I get paid to know
these streets.Where are you from,not from around here I guess?
No.I'm just here for school.I'm originally from Delaware.
Nice state,Delaware.Well,here we are.That'll be seven
dollars and fifty cents.
Here's nine.Keep the change.
Thanks.
No,thank you.
