answer: #Person1# will have an appointment soon but his main dish hasn't been ready. Then #Person2# takes the stew which can be served at once.
documents: #Person1#: Excuse me, I've been waiting my main dish for quite a time. 
  #Person2#: Yes sir, just a minute, please. I'll check with the kitchen. Thank you for waiting. It takes another 10 to 15 minutes, I'm afraid. I have an appointment in half an hour. 
  #Person1#: I see. 
  #Person2#: Do you have anything else I can have instead? 
  #Person1#: Well sir, yes. How about this stew? We can serve you at once. 
  #Person2#: I'll take this stew then.
