A:
Hello, 332440.
B:
Oh hello, Sally. This is Dave Thomson here. Could I speak to Jim please?
A:
I'm afraid he's not in at the moment Dave. He went out about an hour ago and
he's not back yet.
B:
Any idea when he might be back?
A:
Well, he shouldn't be long. He said he was just going to
get some paint. But I wouldn't be surprised if he's stopped off at the pub on the way back.
B:
O. K. well , tell him I've called , will you , and I'll try again later.
A:
All right. Goodbye , Dave.
B:
Thanks then Sally. Goodbye.
