Simon: Simon Baker.
Receptionist: Could I see your passport and visa, sir?
Simon: Here you are.
Receptionist: Wait a moment, Mr. Baker. I need to write down the number of your passport into our registration book. Yes, from our computer, you have reserved the room 034 from 13 November to 18 November. Have you got your "surat jalan."
Simon: What is it?
