At a bus station

Boy: What time is it now?
T.S: 10:30.
Boy: And when does the next bus leave?
T.S: I told you fifteen minutes.
Boy: I know, but what time?
T.S: It's 10:30. The next bus leaves in 15 minutes. So the next bus leaves at 10:45.
Boy: Oh yes, 10:45, of course. But I want to go downtown now.
T.S: Well, you just have to wait fifteen minutes, won't you?
Boy: Oh, all right, I'll wait 15 minutes, da, da, da.
T.S: You're not waiting here.
Boy: Where can I wait?
T.S: You wait at the bus stop.
Boy: Oh, of course. I, I keep forgetting, and then I can go downtown on the bus.
