Script:
Questions below refer to the following conversation.
M: We absolutely need to have this ready for publication by May, so that it′s ready for the summer vacation catalog.
W: But that′s not really possible, Mr. Jackson; the final draft is not even finished.
M: I′ve been speaking to the author, and she says that she will be able to send the final draft to us by next Monday.
W: In that case, as long as there are no hold-ups with the proofreader and we get the photos by the end of this month, we may be able to have it ready in time.
