A few would-be travelers roam the platform, hoping to find an extra ticket on the sold-out train.

ОБЩЕНИЕ /COMMUNICATION/BrowsingGreg: Hi, can I help you?
Karen: No, thanks. I'm just browsing.
G: All right. If you need any help, just let me know. My name is Greg.
K: Sure. I'll let you know if I need anything. (A king-size mattress attracts Karen.) Hm, this mattress is very firm. Jack will probably like it.
G: Did you find something you like?
K: Yes, this mattress is very good. It's pretty firm. The mattress I'm now sleeping on is saggy.
G: You're right. This is a very good brand. It doesn't sag easily. And we offer a life-time warranty, so you don't have to worry about its quality.
K: Thank you. I'll think about it.
G: Well, you've got to hurry. This mattress sells pretty well and this promotion ends tomorrow.
