Summary: Script by Dr. Lucy Tse Audio Index: Slow dialog: 1:03 Explanations: 3:16 Fast dialog: 19:37 I got two tickets to a show at the last minute and I tried to find someone to go with me. First, I called Amanda. The phone rang and rang and then her answering machine picked up. “Hi, I’m not in right now. Leave me a message and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.” Amanda wasn’t home or she was screening her calls. I didn’t want to leave a message and decided to try Celia. The phone rang about six times and then I heard, “This is the voicemail for Celia. Leave me a message after the long beep. Or, you can try my cell phone at 213-555-1212. Have a nice day.” By this time, I was starting to feel discouraged. I didn’t want to go to the show by myself, so I tried one last time. I called Leslie at work. “Hello, you’ve reached the office of Leslie Munroe. I am in a meeting or with a client. I’m sorry to miss your call. Please stay on the line and leave a detailed message. I will return your call as soon as I can. Thank you for calling.” I decided to leave a message. Leslie called me right back and we made plans for the show. We had a great time.
