Question

LIZ: (suddenly) Julian! We have to turn around. I think I left the oven on at the house!

JULIAN: What! I thought you turned it off before we left.
LIZ: I thought I did, too, but I'm not sure.
JULIAN: (frustrated) We nearly 10 miles away at this point. We can't just turn around. Can you call Michelle and see if she can use her spare key to check for us?
LIZ: Michelle is visiting her sister in Michigan this weekend, remember?
JULIAN: What about Carlos? Doesn't he have a spare key?
LIZ: (with a sigh of relief) You're right! I'm going to call him right now.
