| いつ出るか | When will it be available? | 発売時期・出荷時期 |
| 日本展開 | Any plans for Japan? | 短くて十分 |
| 価格 | What’s the price range? | 目安を聞く形で角が立たない |
| 技術の中身 | How does it work? | デモの途中で使う |
| 競合との違い | What makes it different? | 一歩踏み込む時 |

数字・日程の復唱

- 時刻: Three p.m. at the West Hall entrance, correct?
- 金額: Twenty-five hundred dollars? Two, five, zero, zero?(桁は一字ずつ潰す)
