In the airport 2

Carter:Are liquids still restricted on board?
Security:No, the restriction banning aerosols, liquids and gels has been lifted. Now they're allowed in limited quantities.
Carter:How limited?
Security:Three ounces or less. That's eighty-five grams in metric.
Carter:Any other restrictions on them?
Security:They have to fit comfortably in a quart-size, seal-top plastic bag, so the inspectors can look without touching. Please take your coat off and place it on the conveyor belt. Walk through the metal detector, please. Do you have any metal in your pockets, sir?
Carter:No, I put everything... Ah, wait! My belt buckle! Could that be it?
Security:Sometimes a belt buckle can set off the alarm. Remove your belt please, sir.
Security:Now come back through, please.
Immigration Officer:Have a nice day. Next! Is your trip for business or pleasure?
Carter:Business.
Immigration Officer:How long are you staying?
Carter:It should just be for three or four days.
Immigration Officer:Have a nice stay. Next!
