Script

Nora: Hey John.

John:hey Nora: I took a course on how the airport runs, and I don't suffer from fear of flying any more. Last week I flew nonstop to San Francisco.

John: Congratulations! Which flight did you take?

Nora: United Airlines, Flight UA858.

John: How did it go? Everything smooth sailing?

Nora: Not everything. Since I hadn't traveled by air for a long time, I wasn't familiar with the airport. It took me quite a while to find the United Airlines check-in counter.

John: Then how did you find it?

Nora: In fact, it was displayed on the monitor: "Flight UA858 c~/Counter 45."

John: And was everything OK once you found it?

Nora: No, there was a terrible line-up. I had to wait there for an hour.

John: I see. You must have been burned out waiting before you even boarded the plane.

Nora: That still wasn't the end of my troubles. When I finally got to the counter and handed in my passport and ticket, the airline agent looked at my passport and at me again and again.

John: Why? Did she think your passport was a fake?

Nora: I don't know. I just told her my photo did not flatter me at all.

John: Your photo certainly doesn't do justice to your beauty.

Nora: She didn't say anything like that. Fortunately, when I asked for an aisle seat, she said she had one. You know, I wouldn't dare take a window seat and look out the window.

John: I prefer an aisle seat, too. Then I can stretch my legs and occasionally stand up in the aisle.

Nora: Finally she gave me a boarding pass, and it said that my flight would be boarding at Gate 33 in just minutes. So I had to run!

John: That's bad luck. But you made it! Good for you.
