Clerk:Good morning. This is Doctor Johnson's office. What can I do for you?
Mrs. Reed:Yes, this is Mrs. Reed. I'd like to make an appointment to see the doctor this week.
Clerk:Well, let's see. I'm afraid he is fully booked on Monday and Tuesday.
Mrs. Reed:How about Thursday?
Clerk:Sorry, but I have to say he is also occupied on Thursday. So, will Wednesday be O.K. for you, Mrs. Reed?
Mrs. Reed:I have to work on Wednesday. By the way, is Dr. Johnson available on Saturday?
Clerk:I'm afraid the office is closed on weekends.
Mrs. Reed:well, what about Friday?
Clerk:Friday. Let me have a check. Oh, great. Dr. Johnson will be available on Friday afternoon this week.
Mrs. Reed:That's fine. Thank you, I'll come then.
