Arranging a budget discussion

A: Roger? Would it be possible to meet with you to discuss my department’s budget?

B: Of course, Debbie. Let me look at my schedule, — I have some free time on the 12th. That’s this Thursday at 9:00 a.m.

A: All right. That’ll be fine. Can you put together a rough idea of the kind of money I’ll have available for the next year?

B: Certainly. I’ve already worked out a general budget for all the departments.

B：可以。我已經為所有部門制定了一個總預算。

A: Great! What time?

B: I’m free all afternoon. Why don’t we meet at 1 o’clock in the lobby?
