Jimmy is at the Boston Airport. He hails a taxi.
T: Where to, buddy?
J: The Sheraton Hotel, please.
T: Ok. Is this your first time in Boston?
J: Yes. What's a good place for sightseeing?
T: If you have a lot of time on your hands, you can walk the Freedom Trail.
J: I'm kind of strapped for time.
T: In that case, whatever else you do, you must check out the observatory on the 63rd floor of the John Hancock Building.
J: Isn't the building all glass?
T: That's right. You can't miss it. Here's your hotel. That'll be $17.50, please.
J: Here's $20.00. Keep the change.
