12. Hello, Granny P’s rest home. Who’s that speaking, please?
13. This is Hugo Peters. Could I have a word with the boss, please?
14. Hold on, please
15. Peter, it’s you. What a surprise! Are you calling from home?
16. No, no. I’ve been spending a few days away from home
17. I was expecting some…er…unwelcomed “visitors”, so I decided not to be in.
18. Very clever of you, Peters. But if you “visitors” really want to find you, they will, in the end
19. Well, that‘s what I was calling about in a way.
20. First of all, I do hope you haven’t had too much trouble with Roger Temple.
21. Temple won’t be any trouble to anyone, ever again. I don’t let people make trouble for me.
22. You know that, don’t you, Peters?
23. Yes, sir, Look. I’d like you to give me another chance.
24. I see. Give me one reason why I should.
25. I’ve just made a new South American contact, he has some really excellent “stuff”
26. If you like, I could bring some to Trinidad for you., and we can talk about it.
27. “We could talk about it”. Talk is your speciality, isn’t it, Peters?
28. This isn’t just talk, sir. My contact can get thousands of kilos of the stuff, if you’re interested
29. Very well, Peters. You know what kind of heart I’ve got. I’ll accept your offer.
30. But this stuff had better be really good—or else!
31. Thank God for that! I should be alright now! I’d better start packing my suitcase…
