A: Hi, do you think it's possible for us to have a talk sometime today?

• ア: Well, I've got to finish a report by ten. After that, I'll have a meeting with my English teacher after lunch. I guess I won't have a break until four o'clock. I have to practice Judo in the evening.
• イ: I'd love to, but I've got a pretty tight schedule today.
• ウ: Oh, what have you got going on?
• エ: How about 4:30 then?

• ウ: Well don't worry too much. You still have three days.
• エ: Yes, but three days will fly past in a wink.
