Dialogue 1

A: I owe you an apology, Mr. Steven.

B: What do you mean, Lily?

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

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

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

Dialogue 2

A: I know it might sound lame, but my alarm clock somehow didn't go off this morning.

B: Yes, VIPs always are. So it's quite all right.

And you're a very important person at this meeting.

A: Oh, please don't!

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

Dialogue 3

A: Sorry to have kept you waiting, Eva. I was answering an overseas call.

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

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

B: No. I was reading this new brochure of yours, you see.

I'm very much interested in your new product.

Dialogue 4

A: Mr. Smith, I ask for your forgiveness.

B: For what?

A: I accidentally broke the vase in the living room.

A: I'm sorry. But, if you don't mind, I'm willing to compensate you for it.

B: That's OK. What is done is done.

Dialogue 5

A: Well, you finally got here. It's about time.

I've been waiting in this restaurant a full thirty minutes.

B: Sorry, Jeanne. You know me. I'm always late.

A: Everybody knows, and everybody's getting tired of it.

Even in school you always interrupt the teacher right in the middle of a sentence.

The whole class has to wait while you sit down and put down your books.

It annoys him and everyone else.

B: All I can say is sorry. Maybe I'll reform, but don't count on it.
