(looking worried) I lost my camera. What should I do?

Oh no! I’m sorry to hear that. When did you last use it?
Asami
I think earlier today at the park, but now it’s gone.

Do you know where that is? Maybe we can retrace your steps and find it.

I’m not sure. I’m lost.
Jane
No problem! Where are you going?Maybe I can guide you.

I’m trying to get to Times Square.

Ah, go straight for three blocks. You can’t miss it.
Asami
Thank you! You mean this way?
Jane
Yes, exactly. Good luck finding your camera!

Can I have a floor guide? It would help in case I need to report the lost camera.

No problem at all. Take care!
