M: Hi, Margaret, where were you at dinner-time?I was saving a seat for you in the coffee shop.
W: Oh, sorry to miss you.(1)_______________________.
M: I never had that problem.So where were you?
W: My physical science class ran overtime.
M: That's been happening quite a bit lately. Hasn't it?I guess so.Actually, what happens is that some of us hang around for a while after class to talk with our professor and ask him questions.
M: Who is this the 21st century's Newton?
W: Professor Greg. Have you heard of him?
M: Yes. He does have a good reputation in the physical science department.
W: And a well deserved one.(2)_______________________.
M: Oh, no. I hope this isn't amazing.
W: You can joke. (3)_______________________.
M: I know. It is really rare.Maybe I should sit in his class some time.Do you think he'd care?
W: Not at all. Lots of students bring their friends.He says he feels flattered.
M: Well, just to be safe,I think I'll bring my dinner along as well.
W: I'll make a good student of you yet.
