Is he enjoying it? #Person2#: Very much, it's much more fun than being home! #Person1#: Haha. Well, I suppose we'd better make a start. Shall we get down to business? #Person2#: Right. First of all can I confirm the time and date of the presentation? It's Saturday 24 October in the morning. What time exactly? #Person1#: Well, on the invitations we've sent out we've said that the presentation itself will start at 11 and go on till 12:30. #Person2#: So you'll need the room from about 10 till 2. Would you like us to serve coffee beforehand? #Person1#: Yes, yes. Oh, and drinks and snacks at the end. #Person2#: Better to have buffet lunch? #Person1#: No, I... people who are invited won't be expecting a free lunch. They might think that's overdoing it. They'll want to get back to their families, as it's Saturday. #Person2#: All right, the normal pre-lunch snack buffet will be what you need--that's basically the same as what you had last February. #Person1#: Oh, that'll be fine. #Person2#: OK, well, we'll charge for the room, coffee and snack buffet at the standard rate less 15%, as we agreed. And we'll charge for the drinks served on a pro-rata basis. #Person1#: Free, fine, yes. #Person2#: What type of... um.., equipment, furniture would you like? #Person1#: Well, let's have.., um... four.., no, no... five tables for our display.

Can you get someone to check that before we come, you know, to see that it's working? #Person2#: Oh, of course, the technician will be with you when you're setting everything up. Oh, the seats in that room have flap-over desk tops, will that be all right? #Person1#: Yes, yes, that's fine, sure. #Person2#: You say you've sent out the invitations, any idea how many people there'll be? Urn... I think you know there's... the capacity for the room is about 50, but 40 is ideal. #Person1#: Yes, ah... the problem is that we won't know exactly how many there'll be until shortly before. #Person2#: Can you let me know definitely by Thursday? #Person1#: Mm... no. But I'll have a rough idea and we'll budget for the number I give you then. We've sent out 100 invitations... #Person2#: 100?! #Person1#: Yes, well, in theory that meant that there could be 200 people. #Person2#: Yes, but the room won't... #Person1#: But of course, haha...

No wonder you ended up easy prey. #Person1#: but don't you think it annoying to overcharge the customers by such a handsome margin? #Person2#: of course, that's something really irritating.
