Harry 父女來到了Susan 的辦公室找他。Susan 總算想起了她忘記的事情，
原來她竟把同Harry 父女的午餐約會也給忘了。

    Susan ： What time is it， anyway ？ My watch stopped. Sam： It's
eleven thirty. Susan： What time is my lunch date with Bill Levine？

    Sam ： One o'clock. Susan ： Remind me to leave at twelve forty-five.
Sam ： Did you remember your other appointment for today？

    Susan ： No ， but I have a feeling it's going to be too late when
I do remember.

    [Sam leaves Susan's office. A little later， he returns.]

    Susan ： Yes， Sam？

    Sam ： I just solved the mystery. Susan ： What did I forget？

    Sam ： You have some guests in the reception room. Susan： What ？
Who ？

    Sam ： Mr. Harry Bennett and his daughter. Susan： I remember ！ Oh
…Harry ！ I made a lunch date with him and his daughter weeks ago. Sam
： Is he a client ？

    Susan ： He's a friend. Sam ： Well he's here with his daughter to
have lunch. Susan ： I met her at Thanksgiving， and I promised to have
lunch with both of them today. Sam： Yes， indeed. What are you going
to do about your appointment with Mr. Levine？

    Susan ： Any suggestions？ Oh ！
