What is "quick question"?
Student
Uh, excuse me, Professor Thompson. I know your office hours are tomorrow, but I was wondering if you had a few minutes free now to discuss something.
Professor
Sure, John. What did you want to talk about?
Student
Well, I have some quick questions about how to write up the research project I did this semester—about climate variations.
Professor
Oh, yes. You were looking at variations in climate in the Grant City area, right? How far along have you gotten?
