On a street in downtown Manhattan. Harry Bennett is carrying some flowers. He takes out a piece of paper from his pocket. It reads, "Susan Stewart, 83 Wooster Street, phone #555-9470, 8:00 p.m." Harry stops to talk to a street vendor. He asks him for directions.
Harry:	Excuse me. Can you help me?
Vendor:	Sure, what do you want?
Harry:	Where is 83 Wooster Street?
Vendor:	That's easy. [He points.] Walk to the corner. Then make a left turn. Then walk two blocks to the traffic light. Make another left to Wooster.
Harry:	Thank you. To the corner and then a left?
Vendor:	Yeah. A left. Hot dog? Only seventy-five cents.
Harry:	No. Thank you. I have a dinner date.
A little later. Harry is still lost. He goes to a pay phone and dials Susan's telephone number.
Harry:	555-9470 ... and it's busy. ... Try again. 555-9470 ... and it's still busy. [He walks to a grocery store to ask for directions.] Excuse me, ma'am. I'm looking for 83 Wooster Street.
Woman:	Yes. Wooster Street is two blocks, and 83 is to the right, about two houses.
Harry:	Thank you, thank you!
Woman:	You're welcome.
A few minutes later. Harry finds Wooster Street. He rings the buzzer to Susan's apartment.
Susan:	[at the intercom ] Who is it?
Harry:	Harry Bennett. Is this Susan?
Susan:	Yes, it is. Come up. I'm on the top floor.
Susan:	[She opens the door.] Hello, Harry. It's nice to meet you.
Harry:	Nice to meet you, Susan. [He gives her the flowers.] Sorry I'm late. The traffic. The parking. I was lost.
Susan:	What pretty flowers! Thank you. Oh, please come in. Don't worry about being late. It's fine. Excuse the mess. I just moved here. Oh, I'd like you to meet my sister-in-law Marilyn. Marilyn Stewart, this is Harry Bennett.
Harry:	Pleased to meet you.
Marilyn:	Nice to meet you, Harry.
Harry:	Are we too late for our dinner reservation?
Susan:	No, the restaurant will hold our table. I know the owner very well. I eat there a lot.
Harry:	Do you know the phone number of the restaurant? I'd like to call home and leave the number with the baby-sitter.
Susan:	Sure. The number is ... five five five ... seventeen twenty.
Harry:	May I use the phone? [Susan indicates yes.] 555-1720. Hello? Hi, Michelle. It's Daddy. Can I speak to Betty? I want to leave the phone number of the restaurant. ... Hi, Betty.
