Michael Forster was a young film produce (制作人), He wanted a famous actress (女演员), Sarina Chan,
to act in his next film. However, Sarina always chose her films very carefully and worked only with famous
people. 
       Michael was not at all famous. In fact, he was still planning his first film. He knew it would be hard to
persuade (说服) the actress to work for him. He decided to take her out for dinner. 
       "I'm try to impress (留下极深的印象) her," he thought. 
       "Then she'll act in my film."
       Sarina agreed to have dinner with him. He chose the most expensive restaurant in the city and paid the
waiter to greet them by name and give them the best table. When Michael and the actress arrived, the head
waiter hurried up to them. "Good evening, Mr. Forster. Good evening, Miss Chan," he said. "Please come this
way. Your table is ready for you." He led them to a table near the window, and then another waiter came up and
took their order. During the meal, Michael noticed that Herbert Grange was in the restaurant. Grange was a very
famous producer. When Grange left his table to go to the rest room. Michael asked Sarina to excuse him, and
went to the rest room as well. As Grange was washing his hands, Michael said, "Mr. Grange, please help me.
I'm trying to persuade Sarina Chan to act in my film, but she doesn't think I'm important enough. Would you
be kind enough to come over to my table, slap me on the back and say," Good to see you. Michael. We must
have lunch again soon." Herbert Grange smiled. "OK," he said. "Anything to help an ambitious (有野心地) young
man." Michael returned to his table. 
      A few minutes later, Herbert Grange came up to him, slapped him on the back and said, "Good to see you,
Michael. We must have lunch again soon." Michael looked up at him angrily and said, "Oh, go away, Herbert,
can't you see I'm busy!"

She was going to take food and drinks to the passengers. A little old woman, who took on the plane for the
first time, came up to her and said, "Could you tell me where the Ladies' Room is?"
