Is That You, John?

graham turner:	Is that you, John?
john smith:	Yes, speaking.
graham turner:	Tell Mary we'll be late for dinner this evening.
john smith:	I'm afraid I don't understand.
graham turner:	Hasn't Mary told you? She invited Charlotte and me to dinner this evening. I said I would be at your house at six o'clock, but the boss wants me to do some extra work. I'll have to stay at the office. I don't know when I'll finish. Oh, and by the way, my wife wants to know if Mary needs any help.
john smith:	I don't know what you're talking about.
graham turner:	That is John Smith, isn't it?
john smith:	Yes, I'm John Smith.
graham turner:	You are John Smith, the engineer, aren't you?
