卡尔：哈啰，请问一下。
莎莉：请说，我能帮你吗？
卡尔：你记得我吗？刚刚一小时前我在这里吃午餐。
莎莉：当然我记得你。
卡尔：我的皮夹掉在这里。
莎莉：不会吧，真的吗？我没有看到。
卡尔：真的吗？你没发现到皮夹？
莎莉：没有。你要跟我到桌子那边看看吗？
卡尔：好的。不在这里，也不在地上。我们走后这一桌有人坐吗？
莎莉：没有，一直是空着的。
卡尔：我不知道怎么会这样。
莎莉：先生，我记得是你朋友付帐的。你没有付自己的午餐钱，不是吗？
卡尔：是的，是我朋友付的。
莎莉：那么你确定在这里你曾从口袋拿出皮夹来吗？
卡尔：我不确定。但是通常我坐下来时，会把皮夹拿出来。坐在上面很不舒服，所以通常我把它放在桌子上的旁边。
莎莉：可能你来这里之前就掉了，或是你遗忘在家里。
卡尔：我想不会在家里，我记得出门时带着。我该怎么办呢？
莎莉：首先你要确定不是放在家里。如果不是，你要打电话到信用卡公司取消信用卡。接下来你要重办遗失的证件，像是驾照之类的东西。
卡尔：要报警吗？
莎莉：如果你要的话可以。但是警察通常不处理皮夹遗失的案件。
卡尔：我会回家找找看。也许你是对的，也许是放在家里。
莎莉：很抱歉，我们没有找到,先生。
卡尔：谢谢你的帮忙。
