B: Sure, Liv, what can I do for you? 

A: Well, I was just wondering. . . you see, I know I’ve used up all my vacation days this year, but my sister is getting married, and the wedding is overseas, and, well. . . 

B: You wanna take some time off, is that right? 

A: Well, sir, I was just hoping that I might be able to take some unpaid leave this year. 

B: What dates are you planning on taking off? I’ll need at least two months notice, so that I can plan for your absence. 

A: I was thinking of taking off from September first until the thirtieth . Would you be okay with that? 

B: Well, I guess so.
