Reserving tickets for a play

Narrator - A woman is calling on the phone to reserve tickets for a play. Which two seats did she get? Clerk - Hello, this is Blackfriar Playhouse. Can I help you? Woman - I'd like to get two tickets for "King Lear" at 5:30 this evening. Do you still have any tickets available? Clerk - We do have two seats left, but I'm sorry to say we don't have any next to each other. If you don't mind, though, we can get two seats separately. Woman - OK, we don't mind. Clerk - Do you have any particular requests? Woman - Well, do you have any aisle seats? Clerk - Yes, we have an aisle seat at the left side of the center section. And to the right of it, three seats over, we have another free seat. Woman - To the side? OK then please book that aisle seat. Clerk - Certainly. How about the other one? Woman - Do you have any seats near the center? Clerk - The only seats we have left are from the first row to the third row. Woman - I'm not too crazy about having actors spit on me, so... Clerk - This room is relatively small, and I think you could enjoy the play even at the end of the row on the side. Woman - Is that so? Then I'll take the one you mentioned before on the left side.
