Eric: Let’s get a move on or we’ll be late – again!
Carmen: Hold your horses. I’m on the verge of being ready. Rome wasn’t built in a day, you know.
Eric: A day? I’d settle for a week. Why is it that every time we have someplace to be you’re always running late?
Carmen: That’s because I march to the beat of a different drummer. Life isn’t about watching the clock; it’s about living in the moment.
Eric: Okay, at this very moment, we’re late.
Carmen: Just give me a couple of minutes more and I’ll be ready. After all, none of our friends expect us to be punctual anymore. They all know better.
Eric: Yeah, and I should, too. From now on, I’ll start getting ready when you say you’re all set. Then I’ll just have minutes to wait – not hours!
