B2（剪头发，约理发师） Marcel Always Does My Hair

M: Good morning. Unisex Hairdresser's.

W: Good morning. I'd like to make an appointment, please, for three o'clock this afternoon, with Marcel.

M: Let me see ... I'm sorry Marcel's busy at three. Can you suggest another day, madam?

W: No. I've an important meeting to attend tonight and I must have my hair done before five. So how about 3:30?

M: I'm afraid Marcel is busy all afternoon. W: What a nuisance!

M: I'm terribly sorry, madam. But you should always book well in advance. W: I know. I know. But it's short notice for me, too.

M: Then may I suggest Tom O'Neil? He is just as good as Marcel.

W: But Marcel always does my hair. He knows what style I usually wear. M: But everybody says Tom can quickly figure out the best style for a

particular customer.

W: OK, then. What time will he be available?

M: Er ... actually he is busy all afternoon too. But luckily, one of his customers has just called to cancel her appointment. So if you can be here at 2:45, I can fit you in. You'll be his first customer this afternoon.

W: That would be nice then. Thank you. You're really very helpful.

M: You're welcome.
