 A:    So, Casey, how are things going with the photos
       for the press kit?

 B:    Yeah, I’ve been meaning to talk to you about that.
        I might need to ask for an extension on that dead-
        line.

 A:    You’ve had over a month to get this finalized! Why
       are things delayed?

 B:    Well, the thing is, we ran into a lot of problems. . .

 A:     I’m not looking for excuses here. I just want to get
       this finished on time!

 B:     I  know,  and  I  apologize  for  the  delay. But  some
       things were just beyond my control.  I had trouble
        booking the photographer, and then Michael was
       sick for three weeks, so I couldn’t include him in
       the photos, and the design team lost all the files,
       so I had to re-do the pictures.
 A:   I’m not going to put this off any longer, Casey!                          

       I  want those photos ASAP!
