Middle-aged woman: I can't talk at the moment; I'm on a train. I can call you in two minutes though. Is it important? ... Oh, lunch? Where would you like to go? Anywhere is OK by me ... I can meet you at Shinagawa Station. ... What? You're there already ... Oh wait, I can see you on the far platform. Shall we talk then? ... OK. Bye"
