Ayşe: Anahtarı bulamıyorum.
Efe: Ee bende de yok. Sen alacaktın…
Ayşe: Bi saniye… Bana sen anahtarını alacağını söyledin.
Efe: Hayır, eminim. Sen alacaktın.
Ayşe: Off neyse. Dışarıda kaldık yani.
Efe: Maalesef. Çilingiri aramamız lazım.
Ayşe: Var mı sende herhangi bir numara?
Efe: Hayır yok. Ama zaten kapının kenarına reklamlarını yapıştırmış olmalılar. Buluruz bir numara.
Ayşe: Geçen gün bu gibi durumlar için yedek anahtarı komşuya bırakacaktın. Hatırladın mı?
Efe: Evet yapmadım maalesef.
Ayşe: Evet görüyorum.
Efe: Hem bıraksaydım da ne olacaktı? Şu an tatildeler.

Translation
Ayşe: I can’t find the key.
Efe: Well, I don’t have it either. You were going to take…
Ayşe: Wait a second… You told me you were going to take your key.
Efe: No, I’m sure. You were going to take it.
Ayşe: Anyway. So we’re locked out.
Efe: Unfortunately. We need to call a locksmith.
Ayşe: Do you have any number?
Efe: No, there isn’t. But they must have already stuck their ads on the edge of the door. We’ll find a number.
Ayşe: The other day you were going to leave the spare key to the neighbor for such cases. Did you remember?
Efe: Yes, I did not do it, unfortunately.
Ayşe: Yes, I see it.
Efe: What was going to be even if I had left it? They’re on vacation right now.
Ayşe: That is also true. Look here. I found a number.
Efe: Uh yeah. We should call this number.
Ayşe: Can you tell me the number?
Efe: 0528 191 63 90. Does it ring?
