Part One

　　Lily: I owe you an apology, Mr. Steven.

　　Steven: What do you mean, Lily?

　　Lily: I'm terribly sorry about the appointment last Thursday. I hope you'll excuse me.

　　Steven: Forget it. I'd have done exactly as you did if I had been in your situation.

　　Lily: That's very kind of you to say so.

　　Part two

　　Eva: Sorry to be late. I was caught up in a traffic jam. Am I the last guest to arrive?

　　John: Yes, VIPs always are. So it's quite all right. And you're a very important person at this party.

　　Eva: Oh, please don't!

　　John: I was just kidding. We've been expecting you all this time!

　　Part Three

　　Annie: Sorry to have kept you waiting, Eva. I was answering an overseas call.

　　Eva: It's all right. You must be a very busy general manager.

　　Annie: Well, I hope you weren't bored while I was on the phone.

　　Eva: No. I was reading this new brochure of yours, you see. I'm very much interested in your new product.
