  IN A TAXI

  A. Taxi!
            :
  B. Where to, sir?
  A. I'm looking for a hotel.
  B. Well, there are lots.
      What kind of hotel?
  A. I'd like a good one.
      But not too expensive.
  B. Near the airport?
      Or in town?
  A. In the West End, perhaps.
      Is it far?
  B. Quite far.
  A. How much would it cost?
  B. About thirty pounds.
  A. Phew!
      That is expensive!
      Take me somewhere nearer then.
  B. Then I'll take you to the Royal.
      It's quite nice.
      The prices are reasonable.
      About fifteen minutes from here.
      All right?
  A. Fine.					>
