{John and Mary were going to New York. This conversation took place just before they went to the train station}
Mary: Have you called the cab, John?
John: Yes I have. He should be here in a minute. Put on your coat and hat. Then we'll be ready.
Mary: Here he is now.
John: Good. I'll take the bags. You go ahead and get in.
{John and Mary got in the taxi. They arrived at the station. John paid the driver and they got out. The next part of the conversation took place at the station}
Mary: Hurry, John. It's 6:25, and the train leaves at 6:35.
John: I'm hurrying, but your watch is fast. I have 6:20.
Mary: No, it's 6:25. Look at the station clock.
John: Oh, yes. I guess you're right. Well, I just have to pick up your tickets. Then we can get on the train. I'll get them and meet you right here.
Mary: All right.
{After a few minutes}
John: O.K. , Mary. I've got the tickets. Now let's look for gate 29. That's where the train leaves from.
Mary: There it is, right over there. I'm glad it's close. I'm ready to take off my hat and coat and relax.
John: So am I. I've got a New York paper. We can look for some shows to see while we're there.
Mary: Oh, I already have in mind a lot of things. I have decided to try on a lot of clothes.
John: Well, try on as many as you like. Just don't spend too much money.
