1 Is that letter ready yet, Lucy? 2 I’ve nearly finished it, Mr. Peters. 3 Well, post it as soon as it’s ready, please. I’m just going to the bookstore. 4 Hugo Peters’ office, can I help you? Who’s that speaking, please? It’s for you, Mr. Peters. 5 He won’t give his name; he says it’s very urgent. 6 Oh, very well! Hello, Hugo Peters here. What can I do for you? 7 So, I’ve found you at last! 8 I’ll take this call in my office, Lucy. 9 What do you want from me? 10 You’ve moved house, haven’t you, you bastard! But you’ll never move far enough to get away from me! 11 Look, I’m sorry about what happened, Roger, I really am, but I don’t see what I can do. 12 This is what you can do Hugo. Get me a million dollars in bills, and a clean passport, and you’ll never hear from me again. 13 What are you crazy? I can’t possibly find a million dollars! 14 I’m giving you 24 hours, Hugo. Call me at this number: 3174480 at exactly the same time tomorrow. 15 If you won’t help me, I’ll have to go to Trinidad and see what Mr. P has to say! 16 No, you can’t do that! Don’t go to Mr. P, please! 17 I’ll talk to you tomorrow, Hugo. 18 My God! What am I going to do? 19 Hugo Peters’ office. Can I help you? Mr. Peters- It’s David! 20 Hello, David. What do you want? 21 I’ve got some good news for you. 22 If you are out of money again, this is the wrong moment. 23 No, Dad! Juanita and I are getting married! 24 Oh, is that all? 25 Aren’t you pleased? 26 I’m sorry David, it’s been a bit of a busy day for me. 27 Ah, I see. Anyway Annie doesn’t know yet, so can you tell her? And another thing: 28 Juanita’s parents would love to meet you and Annie for lunch tomorrow, are you free? 29 I thought we could go to “Da Renzo”. 30 Yes, yes, alright. 31 Great! Well, you’ll tell Annie the news, OK? See you tomorrow, Dad. 32 How is David, Mr. Peters? I haven’t seen him for months. 33 Oh, he’s very well. He’s getting married. 34 Oh, how lovely! Who’s the lucky lady? 35 Her name’s Juanita. She’s the daughter of Mexican multimillionaire! See you later, Lucy.
