A: Do you realize what time it is? B: I'm sorry, I lost track of time. A: Do you honestly believe that that is a good excuse? B: Not at all--that is what really happened. A: How many times do I have to ask you to call if you're going to be late? B: Yes, I know. I must've forgot. A: That's beside the point, you still should have called. B: You're right. I'm sorry. A: Next time you come in late without calling, you're gone. B: You're really going to kick me out? A: Yes, maybe then you'll figure out how to follow the rules. B: Actually, if you kick me out, your rules won't matter anymore.
