This is Ben Lee, and he's on the train. A fellow passenger drops his wallet as he exits the train. Ben picks up the wallet, and chases after the man. |
He calls to the man by saying, |
"Sir, please, wait a minute." |
先生,请等一下。(Xiānsheng, qǐng děng yíxià.) |

谢谢你。(Xièxie nǐ.) |
不客气。 (Bú kèqi.) |

不好意思。(Bùhǎoyìsi.) |
没事儿。(Méi shì'r.) |
