[speaker001:] Hi, Cindy. I thought I 'd missed you.
[speaker002:] Oh, I am very sorry, Hans. Thank you for waiting for me. You must have been here a long time already.
[speaker001:] It 's all right.
[speaker002:] I was caught in the heavy rain, or I would have come earlier. I am sorry I kept you waiting.
[speaker001:] I was in a comfortable place, so really, it 's no problem. I am happy to see you. Did the rain hold you up long?
[speaker002:] Yes. When I came out of the subway, it was raining cats and dogs. And I forgot my umbrella. So I had to wait for the rain to let up.
[speaker001:] I totally understand.
