May? Like the Month?
(The phone rings at a hair salon in Brooklyn.)
Hairdresser: Hello, Pretty Cuts. How can I help you?
Mei: Hi. Can I book a haircut, please?
Hairdresser: Of course. What day is good for you?
Mei: Can I come on Friday?
Hairdresser: Friday is busy. Can you come on Saturday?
Mei: Yes, Saturday is good. What time?
Hairdresser: We have ten o'clock or two o'clock.
Mei: Two o'clock, please.
Hairdresser: Great. And what is your name?
Mei: My name is Mei.
Hairdresser: Sorry, can you speak again? May? Like the month?
Mei: No. Mei. M, E, I.
Hairdresser: Oh! I am so sorry. See you on Saturday, Mei.
Mei: Thank you. Goodbye.
Hairdresser: Goodbye!
(Mei puts down the telephone and laughs.)
