Excuse me, is this seat taken?

Our kids created dialogues beginning with the phrase above and had them performed by their fellow students. Here are some of them:


-Excuse me, is this seat taken?
-You can sit, but you can show me the ticket?
-...One moment...Oh!...I think I forgot it at home!
-Oh...but you look good. I think you can pay me...
-Yes I am a businessman. How about 10 £?
-OK. No problem!
