JOHN: Hi there, Annie! How are you this evening?
ANNIE: Fine, thanks.
JOHN: Is your Dad well?
ANNIE: Yes, he's fine.
JOHN: Great! How's Martin? When are you getting married?
ANNIE: We're not getting married. It's over.
JOHN: Oh, really? Gee, I am sorry! Well, er... are you doing anything tonight? Would you like to come to a restaurant with me?
ANNIE: No, I'm busy. Sorry.
JOHN: Oh, I see. Well, another time, perhaps? How long are you staying in Washdon?
ANNIE: For a year, perhaps more. I'm looking for a job here. So, if you'll excuse me...
JOHN: Oh, you're looking for a job? Maybe I can help you.
JOHN: I'm an executive with a multinational company; I can find a job for you.
JOHN: Why don’t I give you my card?
ANNIE: Thanks; maybe I'll call you at work. Bye-bye, John.
JOHN: So Hugo isn’t in?
ANNIE: No, he isn't. He'll be back soon. So - see you, John.
JOHN: Hey Annie, can I come in, please? Please!! I don't have anyone to talk to. I just want to talk to you, that's all.
ANNIE: Oh, alright! But only for 10 minutes; I have a lot of things to do.
ANNIE: No, where’s today’s newspaper? Oh, damn! Is there a news stand near here?
JOHN: Yes, why?
ANNIE: Oh, I want to get a paper. I want to look at the jobs. Where is the news stand, please?
JOHN: You go out of the house, first turn right, then turn left, and there it is, on the other side of the road.
ANNIE: Thanks.
JOHN: Hey, wait a moment, Annie!
JOHN: Can I come with you?
ANNIE: Excuse me, is there a news stand near here?
DIRTY
OLD MAN: It isn’t exactly near here, my dear. It's a long, long way. Shall I take you there?
ANNIE: No, it's alright, thanks. I'll walk. Where is it, please?
OLD MAN: Just go up this road, turn left, then turn right, and you'll see it. It's on this side of the road.
ANNIE: Thank you.
OLD MAN: Have a nice walk!
HUGO: Hello, John! What are you doing here?
JOHN: Oh, hello, Hugo! I'm here with Annie.
HUGO: Oh, I see. With Annie? Then where is she?
JOHN: She's not here.
HUGO: What?
JOHN: I mean, she's out at the moment. She's buying a newspaper. You see, she's looking for a job and... Gee, I must go now. Bye-bye, Hugo.
MORAN: Who is that man?
HUGO: Oh, he lives next door. His name's John Berry. He's just an idiot. Never mind him, he’s no problem.
MORAN: How do you know? I mean, what's he doing here? You must be careful, Hugo. The police know about you now, don't they?
HUGO: No, they don't know anything! Everything's alright, Peter.
MORAN: What about the detective at the airport? What about the person on the phone? Perhaps that guy’s a detective.
HUGO: John Berry a detective? Don't be ridiculous, Peter! The man’s just an idiot; a complete idiot!
MORAN: I don't know. I think I'll phone Jack Cooper anyway.
HUGO: Very well, if you like. I don't mind.
COOPER: Hello. Jack Cooper speaking.
MORAN: Listen, Cooper. We have another job for you. Visit this guy’s apartment, break his furniture and teach him a lesson, OK?
JOHN: Perhaps that's Annie!
COOPER: Hello!
JOHN: I'm afraid you have the wrong apartment.
COOPER: No, I don't. This is the right apartment.
JOHN: Look, you're breaking it! What do you want? Who are you? You can't just come in here!
COOPER: Sit down and shut up!
JOHN: Ooh! Mmh! Ah!
HUGO: So will you take that job, do you think?
ANNIE: I don't know, Dad. What's that? It's coming from John Berry's apartment.
ANNIE: My God!
HUGO: Good heavens!
JOHN: Gosh, my head! Look at my apartment! All my CDs, look!
ANNIE: It's terrible!
HUGO: Yes, it is! We live in violent times, John. You must be careful, you know. Very careful. Bye-bye!
