7 What? Hitch-hiking to Japan?
8 It’s alright Mrs. White, I’m only joking². We are going by plane.
9 Isn’t that very expensive?

21 You can’t do anything about it. Why not just have a beer?
22 Numbers 2487 and 2488, please.
23 Those were our numbers.
24 No, they weren’t! Don’t worry about it, anyway—have a beer.
25. No, I’m sure they were our numbers! Come on, Mary, let’s get on the plane!

27. Listen, you bastards⁸! This is a bomb⁹, alright? I’m not bloody¹⁰ going to bloody Totyo!
28. This bloody plane’s going to Sydney. OK?
29. What do you bloody well mean – Sydney. OK? I’m not going to bloody Sydney. This plane is going to Melbourne!
30. Perth! Darwin! Alice Springs! Sydney! Melbourne!
31. Look Mary, we’re arriving in Tokyo!
32. What? Where?
33. Yes, we’re here. My parents will be here to meet us!

37. and we hope to see you again soon.
