I want to check out today . My plane leaves at 3 p . m .   Which room are you staying in now , sir ?   I am in Room 205 . My name is Bill Smith . When shall I check out ?   Usually if you are leaving today , you'd better check out before 12 noon , and leave the room . If you check out after 12 noon , we will count one day more .   Oh , I didn't know that .   Since your plane leaves at 3 p . m . it will be too early for you to leave the hotel at 12 0 ' clock . We can arrange you to stay in the room until 1 p . m . ; but first you should still check out before 12 noon .   That's very considerate of you . May I have my bill ?   Yes , sir . Here it is .   How much is it ?
