i'm afraid that flight's now closed.
i'm sorry sir, but we have to close the gate 45 minutes prior to departure.
i'm sorry sir, there's nothing i can do.
there's one at 8.30. but i know that's full. i can put you on stand- by, but i doubt you'll get on. the earliest i can get you on for sure, is tomorrow morning, 10.30.
sir, i'm sorry, but you have to stay calm.
