Today you will listen to a real English conversation at the airport. Two men take the same suitcase, or at least they think so. They start to argue. They get angry and they don't listen to each other. But there is a problem: while they are fighting, something very important happens. And when they finally realize it, it's too late. Let's listen to their conversation.

Person A: Hey, excuse me. What are you doing? That is my suitcase.
Person B: What? No, this is my suitcase. I just took it from the belt.
Person A: You are wrong. I saw it first. It is black, medium size, and has a small scratch.
Person B: Wait, what? My suitcase is also black, medium size, and it has a scratch, too.
Person A: Then you are confused. This is mine. Look at the handle. It is a little broken. That is my suitcase.
Person B: Oh, really? Because my suitcase also has a broken handle.
Person A: This is impossible.
Person B: Yes, this is very strange. Now look at the tag. It says Daniel. That is my name.
Person A: Wait, let me see. Uh oh. Okay. But maybe that is an old tag.
Person B: No, it's not old. I remember this suitcase very well. I traveled with it last month.
Person A: Me too. I use this suitcase all the time.
Person B: Then open it.
Person A: No, you cannot open my suitcase.
Person B: Then how can we know?
Person A: Um, wait. I have a small red sticker on my suitcase.
Person B: A red sticker?
Person A: Yes, right here. Look.
Person B: Oh, wait. My suitcase has a green sticker.
Person A: Then this is not yours.
Person B: Oh, no. I think I made a mistake.
Person A: Yes, I think you did.
Person B: I'm really sorry. Our suitcases look exactly the same.
Person A: It's okay. It happens sometimes.
Person B: I feel very embarrassed right now.
Person A: Don't worry. At least now everything is clear. So, where are you going?
Person B: I'm going to New York. And you?
Person A: Wait, what? Me, too?
Person B: Seriously? You're kidding, right?
Person A: No, it's true. Same destination.
Person B: Wow, that's crazy. Maybe we are on the same flight. Um, let me see. What is your flight number?
Person A: My flight number it is AA245. And yours?
Person B: Mine too. What a coincidence.
Person A: No way. We were arguing and we didn't even check the time. What time is it now?
Person B: Let me see. Oh no.
Person A: What? What happened?
Person B: The flight boards in 5 minutes.
Person A: What? Let's go now.

Airport Staff: Excuse me, gentlemen. You cannot stay here. You are blocking the way.
Person A: Oh, I'm sorry. We were confused about a suitcase.
Person B: Yes, sorry. We are going to flight AA245 to New York.
Airport Staff: AA245. Yes, that flight already left.
Person A: What? There's no way.
Person B: No, that's not possible.
Airport Staff: I'm sorry. The gate is closed. The plane is gone.
Person A: We were here arguing. We didn't pay attention to the time because of the suitcase. We missed the flight.
Person B: This is a disaster.
Person A: Yes, the worst day.
Airport Staff: You need to talk to the airline desk now.
Person A: Ah, okay. Thank you.
Person B: Well, at least now we have the correct suitcase.
Person A: Yeah, but no flight.
