تَمْدِيدُ الْإِقَامَةِ فِي الْفُنْدُقِ
نَبِيلٌ: صَبَاحُ الْخَيْرِ. يَنْتَهِي حَجْزِي يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ، وَلَكِنَّ خُطَّتِي تَغَيَّرَتْ.
مُوَظَّفُ الِاسْتِقْبَالِ: صَبَاحُ النُّورِ. هَلْ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَبْقَى مُدَّةً أَطْوَلَ؟
نَبِيلٌ: نَعَمْ، أُرِيدُ لَيْلَةً إِضَافِيَّةً، لِأَنَّ قِطَارِي سَيُغَادِرُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ.
مُوَظَّفُ الِاسْتِقْبَالِ: مَا رَقْمُ غُرْفَتِكَ، مِنْ فَضْلِكَ؟
نَبِيلٌ: غُرْفَتِي رَقْمُ ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ فِي الطَّابِقِ الْأَوَّلِ.
مُوَظَّفُ الِاسْتِقْبَالِ: يُمْكِنُكَ الْبَقَاءُ فِي نَفْسِ الْغُرْفَةِ، فَهِيَ مُتَاحَةٌ.
نَبِيلٌ: كَمْ سِعْرُ اللَّيْلَةِ الْإِضَافِيَّةِ؟
مُوَظَّفُ الِاسْتِقْبَالِ: مِئَتَانِ وَعِشْرُونَ رِيَالًا.
نَبِيلٌ: وَهَلْ يَشْمَلُ هَذَا السِّعْرُ الْفُطُورَ؟
مُوَظَّفُ الِاسْتِقْبَالِ: نَعَمْ، يَشْمَلُ الْفُطُورَ كَمَا فِي حَجْزِكَ الْأَوَّلِ.
نَبِيلٌ: هَلْ أُغَادِرُ قَبْلَ الثَّانِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ ظُهْرًا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ أَيْضًا؟
مُوَظَّفُ الِاسْتِقْبَالِ: نَعَمْ، مَوْعِدُ الْمُغَادَرَةِ لَمْ يَتَغَيَّرْ.
نَبِيلٌ: جَيِّدٌ، أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَحْتَفِظَ بِالْغُرْفَةِ.
مُوَظَّفُ الِاسْتِقْبَالِ: تَمَّ تَمْدِيدُ الْحَجْزِ لِلَيْلَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، مِنَ الْخَمِيسِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ.
نَبِيلٌ: شُكْرًا. أَأَدْفَعُ الْآنَ أَمْ عِنْدَ الْمُغَادَرَةِ؟
مُوَظَّفُ الِاسْتِقْبَالِ: الْآنَ، مِنْ فَضْلِكَ. الْمَبْلَغُ الْإِضَافِيُّ مِئَتَانِ وَعِشْرُونَ رِيَالًا.
