A: Mr. Emory, I'd like to take this afternoon off if it's all right with you.
    B: But Sam, you've called in sick 5 times in the last three weeks.
    A: I know, Mr. Emory. I'm sorry. But I really need to see the doctor this afternoon. I feel dizzy and I can't concentrate on my work.
    B: All right, then. But don't forget to bring a doctor's note in tomorrow.
