[speaker001:] I 'm so sorry to call you on such short notice, but something 's come up.
[speaker002:] You mean for this afternoon 's meeting?
[speaker001:] That 's right I 'm afraid I have to postpone it. Mr. Scott got sick and I have to attend the Speechmaker 's Symposium in his place. I 'm leaving today, and I won 't be back until a week from Friday.
[speaker002:] That 's quite a while. Let 's make it the week after you get back, then.
[speaker001:] That will be great. So it 's two weeks from tomorrow, same time and place. I 'm really sorry to do this to you.
[speaker002:] No problem at all. To tell you the truth, I could use the extra time in my schedule to catch up on some paperwork.
