	MARTIN:	Do you have a family?
	DRIVER:	I'm divorced.

	DRIVER:	He likes movies. We go to ball games. He likes camping and fishing.
	MARTIN:	How old is he?
	DRIVER:	He's twelve years old.
	MARTIN:	Take him to Baltimore. He's going to like the educational places.
	DRIVER:	What can we do?
	MARTIN:	You can see a wonderful aquarium. You can visit some very old ships in the harbor. You can take your son to an excellent railroad museum.
	DRIVER:	He loves trains.
	MARTIN:	Baltimore has an art museum, theaters, and a huge convention building.
	DRIVER:	And we can go to a ball game.
	MARTIN:	Yes. It has a new baseball park. It's beautiful. Go in the summer. It's warm and sunny.
	DRIVER:	Can we go at night?
	MARTIN:	Of course. I love baseball at night.
	DRIVER:	How much does it cost? I don't have much money.
