Susan：What else?
[Sam drops the appointment book and pencil on Susan's desk.]
Susan：Come on, Sam…
Sam：You work too hard, Susan. When was your last day off?
Susan：Hmm. I can't remember.
Sam：You really ought to take some time off.
Susan：What for?
Sam：To enjoy the simple things in life…
Susan：I know, Sam. Maybe soon.
Sam：To smell the flowers.
Susan：Oh, wait a minute. What's today's date?
Sam：Today is the twelfth. Why?
Susan：It seems to me I scheduled something else.
Sam：There's nothing else in the appointment book.
Susan：I'm sure I did. Oh, well, I'll probably remember it later.
Sam：I hope it isn't important.
Susan：Hmm. It's probably nothing. OK, let's get started. Would you call Priscilla Smith at FAO Schwarz, please?

Susan：Yes, Sam?
Sam：I just solved the mystery.
Susan：What did I forget?
Sam：You have some guests in the reception room.
