Now, listen again and follow along with the script below.
Dad: Tom, are you finished packing everything?
Tom: Just a few more minutes, Dad.
Dad: Well, don't forget, we have to be at the airport two hours before the flight.
Tom: Why do we have to get there so early?
Dad: Well, first we have to go to the check-in counter. That's where we get our boarding passes. That might take a lot
of time if there's a big line up.
Tom: Oh.
Dad: And then, after that, we have to go through immigration. That also takes time.
Tom: Oh, yeah, right. I forgot about that.
Dad: So, exactly how much more time do you need? We should try to leave in about ten minutes.
Tom: Just another minute. I can't decide which shirt to bring: the red one or the blue one.
Dad: The blue one looks nice.
Tom: Mmm . . . I'm not sure. Maybe the red one.
Dad: Hey, I forgot to ask you. Window seat or aisle seat?
Tom: Of course, the window seat.
Dad: Good! I like the aisle seat.
Tom: Why?
Dad: It's easier to stand up and go to the bathroom, or if I just want to walk around a little!
Tom: I guess. But I like to look out the window when the plane is taking off or landing.
Dad: Do you need any help carrying your suitcase?
Tom: No thanks. I got it.
Dad: Okay, then Mom and I will meet you out by the car in a few minutes.
Tom: Okay, I'll be down soon.
Tom: Just a few more minutes, Dad.
Dad: Well, don't forget, we have to be at the airport two hours before the flight.
