Lady: Excuse me?
Steve: Yes? Can I do anything for you, madam?
Lady: Yes. Could you help me with this suitcase? It's too heavy for me.
Steve: OK. Where shall I carry it to? What gate are you boarding at?
Lady: Gate number four. It's the flight to Rome.
Steve: I'm flying to Rome, too.
Lady: I'm so lucky that you are on the same flight as me. Could you help me carry my suitcase through customs? And I'll leave you for a moment to buy some medicine. I'm often airsick, you know...
Steve: Don't worry. See you on the plane then.

Customs officer: Will you open the suitcase, sir? Well, the picture... Is it yours?
Steve: No, It's not mine! It belongs to a lady who asked me to help her with her luggage!
Customs officer: How can you explain the fact that this picture is in your suitcase then?
Steve: The suitcase is not mine, either! This lady must be somewhere here. She just left for a moment to buy some medicine.
Customs officer: I'm sorry, sir, but that doesn't sound convincing. I don't see any lady here. This picture was stolen from the museum recently. I have to arrest you.
Steve: Look! There she is! That's the lady!

Customs officer: Excuse me, sir. Is this your suitcase?
Criminal: Certainly not. I've never seen this suitcase before and I have no idea who this young gentleman is.
Customs officer: Will you open your luggage, please?
Criminal: There are only personal things there!
Customs Officer Is this dress, wig and glasses yours?
Criminal: No, they're presents for my aunt in Rome.
Customs officer: And what about this watch?
Criminal: The watch was given to me by my mother and I never take it off!
Customs officer: It doesn't sound convincing to me. I'm afraid I have to arrest you.
Lady: Excuse me?
