Woman: You know, I attended a really interesting session this afternoon on ethics in the profession. It was a panel discussion and there was some lively debate . The luncheon speaker, Stephanie Morse, presented some of her findings from her new ground- breaking study .
Man: I'm sorry I missed it. It sounds interesting. Do you plan on staying for the duration of the conference?
Woman: No, I'm afraid I have to leave early tomorrow. Will you excuse me? I see a colleagueof mine over there and I'd like to say hello.
