  • It takes forever on the bus, so I thought I would save you some time.

  • Thanks.

  • But do you actually know the way to the airport?

  • Yes, of course.

  • Why are you asking?

  • It's just we seem to be going round and round this roundabout.

  • Rob, shouldn't you take that turning there?

  • No, that's where we just came from.

  • Maybe it's this one.

  • No, that can't be right.

  • Oh, Rob, we're going round in circles.

  • Hmm.

  • We aren't getting anywhere.

  • Come on, Rob.

  • I'm going to miss my flight.
