Dialogue Two On the Way to the Brooklyn Museum
	A: Excuse me. Could you tell me if this is where I can catch a bus to the Brooklyn museum? B: Yes, but the bus comes only every half hour to 45 minutes. Besides, it doesn't go directly to Brooklyn.  A: Sounds like it takes a long time.  B: It does. Especially at this time of day when the traffic is heavy. Why don't you take the subway? It's much faster.  A: I just can't understand the New York subway system at all. Do you know where the nearest subway station is? B: About a block down from here. I'm going in that direction. I'll show you where it is.  A: Thanks a lot.
