I: Which way is the hotel?

My: Well, I think it's that way. I know it's not the other way.

I: Maybe I should go that way.

My: Okay. You're the boss.

I: It seems like we came from that direction so we'd better turn here.

My: It sure is dark! Remember what you heard about muggers around here?

I: Oh, no. Why did everyone leave without me? Mrs. Kellstrom will kill me if she sees me coming back alone . . . if I get back.

My: I don't remember this street.

I: Neither do I, but I've never been lost.

My: I think you might be now.

I: Not if I find my way back.

My: I hear footsteps behind us.

I: How many?

My: Just one person.

I: Muggers are the only people in their right minds who would be out by themselves after dark. Look at everyone else. They're in pairs. And they're college students . . . And teachers! I'm just a high school student. What an easy target for a mugger!

My: You'd better hurry up. We should have been back by now There's a phone booth! Maybe there's a map for our hotel. Besides a mugger wouldn't attack someone in a phone booth. Shouldn't we run? The footsteps sound closer!

I: No. I won't run. I won't turn around. I'll just keep walking. Here we are. Look, it's just an old lady.

My: Don't bug me.

I: No map.

My: Now we are in trouble. We better get back to the student union and start over again.

I: No! Let's see. It seems like we should have passed the hotel by now. Let's go down this street and see if the hotel is over a block.

My: It won't be there.

I: Doesn't that stadium look big? See those lights? This time I'll run.

My: Oh brother. Right across the street.
