Mr. Campbell:
Ah Michelle hi. I was hoping to see you. How have you been? How's the family?
Michelle:
Oh hello Mr. Campbell. I'm fine and Jack's doing well. How are you?
Mr. Campbell:
I'm fine thanks. I got your report this morning. Thank's for that. Are you joining the conference today?

Yes, I'm leaving at four pm.
Mr Campbell:
Good, well we can discuss this more then, but I think the figures are looking very good for this quarter.
Michelle:
Yes, me too.
Mr Campbell:
I'm planning to discuss the advertising budget at the conference. I don't think we should continue with the TV advertising.
Michelle:
No, me neither. It's far too expensive.
Mr. Campbell:
Well, let's discuss this more at the conference. Maybe we can share a taxi there.
Michelle:
Yes, sure.
