I think she'd be a big help to us right now. Why don't we give her a call? M: What? At this hour? It's already ten thirty. It's too late. W: But you know she owes me a big favor. Let's at least give her a call and see what she says. Maybe going over some of the problems with us would also help her review the material. M: You're right. Anyway, it's worth a try.
