Hotel Clerk: Hello. Sunnyside Inn. May I help you?

Man: Yes, I'd like to reserve a room for two on the 21st of March.

 

Hotel Clerk: Okay. Let me check our computer here for a moment. The 21st of May, right?

 

Man: No. March, not May.

 

Hotel Clerk: Oh, sorry. Let me see here. Hmmm.

 

Man: Are you all booked that night?

 

Hotel Clerk: Well, we have one suite available, complete with a kitchenette and a sauna bath. And the view of the city is great, too.

 

Man: How much is that?

 

Hotel Clerk: It's only $200 dollars, plus a 10% room tax.

 

Man: Oh, that's a little too expensive for me. Do you have a cheaper room available either on the 20th or the 22nd?

 

Hotel Clerk: Well, would you like a smoking or a non-smoking room?

 

Man: Non-smoking, please.

 

Hotel Clerk: Okay, we do have a few rooms available on the 20th; we're full on the 22nd, unless you want a smoking room.

 

Man: Well, how much is the non-smoking room on the 20th?

 

Hotel Clerk: $80 dollars, plus the 10% room tax.

 

Man: Okay, that'll be fine.

 

Hotel Clerk: All right. Could I have your name, please?

 

Man: Yes. Bob Maexner.

 

Hotel Clerk: How do you spell your last name, Mr. Maexner?

 

Man: M-A-E-X-N-E-R.

 

Hotel Clerk: Okay, Mr. Maexner, we look forward to seeing you on March 20th.

 

Man: Okay. Goodbye.
