reservations manager. Paul: But ...

Manager: Mr Lambert? This is Laurie Perry, the hotel manager.

Paul: Oh, yeah? Well, I need five rooms for Friday night. That's the 15th. I want the best rooms in the hotel. Manager: Sorry, I'm afraid I cannot accept your reservation.

Paul: Now look, we always stay at the Glory Inn ...

Manager: I know that, sir. Last time you were here, we had a number of

complaints from other guests.

Paul: You mean they don't like long-haired rock musicians!

Manager: That's not the problem, sir. The band used bad language in the coffee shop, and threw two TV sets into the pool.

Paul: Yeah, yeah. Well, I'll tell them to be more careful this time.

Manager: I'm afraid that's not all, sir. You haven't paid the account for the last time yet.

Paul: I'm sorry. I'll put a check in the mail right away.

Manager: I'll answer that very simply, sir. No way!
