“Hi. Do you speak English?”

“Uh, yes.”

“Do you know where the owner is?”

“No.”

“Could you contact him for us?”

“Maybe if I look it up on Google?”

“Do you mind?”

“Do you not have a cell phone? Can you call him?”

“I guess we could. We are leaving early tomorrow and we will miss breakfast.”

“Okay.”

“So we were wondering if he could pack us a little breakfast, like fruit?”

“I mean, I guess…in theory, it is possible.”

“Do you think he will say yes?”

“I have no clue. I checked in ten minutes ago.”

“What?!”

“Yeah. I’m in the room next to yours.”
