Question
Use the script to answer the 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 are 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.
