Shawn: What's the matter? You look like you're about to blow your lid .
Rick: Yeah, let's just say I'm not happy.
Shawn: That's putting it lightly . What's up?
Rick: My friend Steve was supposed to come by here after work to give me a ride home. Ilent him my car so he could take his girlfriend out for the day. I've been waiting 45 minutesand he's a no-show . I should have known better than to count on a flake like him.
Shawn: Maybe something came up . Have you tried calling him on his cell phone?
Rick: Yeah, I have and there's no answer. I can't believe he's left me high and dry .
Shawn: Tell you what. I'm almost done with my report. If you can wait another 15 minutes, I'll give you a lift home.
Rick: Really? That would be great.
Shawn: It's no big deal. But, I definitely don't want to be there when you find Steve.
