Part One

Zhang: I owe¹ you an apology, Mr. Smith.

Smith: What do you mean, Zhang?

Zhang: I'm terribly sorry about the appointment last Thursday. I hope you'll excuse me.

Smith: Forget it. I'd have done exactly as you did if I had been in your situation.

Zhang: That's very kind of you to say so.

Part Two

Light: Sorry to be late. I was caught up in a traffic jam. Am I the last guest to arrive?

John: Yes, VIPs always are. So it's quite all right. And you're a very important person at this party.

Light: Oh, please don't!

John: I was just kidding. We've been expecting you all this time!

Part Three

Annie: Sorry to have kept you waiting, Light. I was answering an overseas² call.

Light: It's alright. You must be a very busy general manager.

Annie: Well, I hope you weren't bored while I was on the phone.

Light: No. I was reading this new brochure³ of yours, you see. I'm very much interested in your new product.
