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.
