A: I need to get to the airport by 6 o'clock.

B: That's in less than 45 minutes. You'll never make it.

B: Why did you wait so long?

A: It was my boss. He kept us late.

B: Well, there goes a taxi.

A: Taxi! Taxi! Darn, someone else got it.

B: You're going to have a hard time getting a taxi at this hour.

A: I know, but what can I do? Taxi!
