Diane: Sam, I need to ask a big favor.
Sam: All right, as long as it doesn't interfere with your job.
Diane: Okay, then, I need to ask a huge favor. Would it be possible two weeks from this coming Wednesday for me to leave work early about ten minutes?
Sam: Sure, why not?
Diane: Oh, thank you, Sam. Thank you very much. And thank you for not prying further into the matter. Especially since, well, I've no valid excuse for my early departure. Sam, I must be frank.
Sam: Sounds good. I'll be Bob.
