Ben: Hey Hal, did you catch the baseball game last night?
Hal: No. I was working.
Ben: You missed a good one. It was sensational.
Hal: I'd like to hear about it but I've got to get moving.
Ben: Why are you so busy?
Hal: I'm going on a business trip tomorrow and I've got a lot of things to do to prepare.
Ben: That's right. I forgot. How much do you have to do?
Hal: I'm hoping to put the finishing touches on it in time for dinner.
Ben: Is there anything I can do to help?
Hal: Thanks for asking but I don't think so.
Ben: When do you come back?
Hal: In ten days.
Ben: I'll see you then. Have a nice trip.
