W: Can I help you?
M: Yes, I'd like to read some articles that are on reserve about British culture.
W: Professor Grand's class?
M: That's right. How could you know?
W: Let's just say you are not the first person coming in asking for those articles.
M: Oh, well, seeing as how I haven't read any of them yet, (1)______________.
W: I'm afraid I can't give you any of them at the moment. They've all been checked out.
M: (2)______________
W: Every month. I've asked professor Grand twice already to bring in additional copies of the articles, but no sooner do I place them on the
shelves than they are gone. See that girl in the black sweater? She's been waiting for half an hour for those same articles to be returned.
M: And here's me. (3)______________
W: I'm sorry, but there is not a whole lot I can do about it. All I can suggest is that you come in first thing tomorrow morning and try again.
We open at eight.
