Part 1
- It's no good asking me.
- I know nothing about it.
- What's the matter?
- I'm just feeling sorry for myself.
- How come?
- I had to walk to work...
- because my car was being repaired.
- Is that all?
- Well, I'm not used to being without it.
- Worse things happen, don't they?
- You know,
- I was just about to say the same thing.
- I used to prefer...
- working on my own.
- I wasn't used to sharing...
- ideas and information.
- Now I enjoy...
- being part of a team.
- I'm very fond...
- of the people I work with.
- Everyone's so nice and friendly.
- I'm sorry about last night.
- I'm sorry I woke you up.
- Vast sums of money...
- are being spent...
- on finding an AIDS vaccine.
- How come our order...
- still hasn't been sent?
- All I can say is I'm sorry.
- The delay was caused by a strike.
- That's not our fault, is it?

Part 2
- With all due respect,
- we cannot continue...
- to supply goods...
- unless payments are kept up to date.
- This is outrageous!
- I would have thought...
- that an old customer like me...
- deserved to be treated better.
- Can I see you for a few minutes?
- No, I've got to go now.
- I've got an appointment
- I should be free...
- at half past one.
- Shall we meet then?
- We've got a date with Susan.
- We're going into town...
- to see the exhibition.
- Would you like to join us?
- Shall I open the window?
- Shall I close the door?
- I can't understand them.
- They speak too fast.
- What on earth is that?
- It's a painting of my Aunt Agatha.
- Whoever did it...
- didn't know much...
- about anatomy.
- It was done...
- by a famous French painter.
- She left it to me when she died.
- So now it belongs to me.
- Do you intend to keep it?
- We'll see.
- For the moment,
- I just want to enjoy...
- owning a great work of art.
- I got rid of all the junk...
- in our garage.
- I had someone come...
- and take it away.
- Now there's even room for the car.
