1. I’ll get it
2. Hello 218-5434
3. Hello is that Annie Peters? No. I’m like, one of her roommates. She’s out, you know, shopping.
4. When will she be back do you think?
5. Oh, I don’t know, hang on a moment. I mean who wants her?
6. I’m a friend of hers. Look, would you be so kind as to give her a message?
7. Hang on while I’ll get an pen.
8. Oh, heck! That must be one somewhere. Bloody thing doesn’t write. OK. What’s the message?
9. My name is Kristi Schust. I have an urgent message for Annie from a German friend. Could you please tell her to contact me? That Kristi Schmit, room 688, the Terminal Hotel, Washhdon. I’ll be here for the next week.
10. Does she know your phone number?
11. It’s 222-493-4900. You won’t forget to tell her it’s urgent, will you?
12. Don’t worry, I’ll tell her.
13. Thanks. Bye-bye.
14. Hey, Kate, who’s that?
15. I don’t know. Strange. Oh, I know, it must have been something to do with that German airport demonstration.
16. I thought that had finished a month ago.
17. So did I. God, it’s cold in here, sean! Is the central heating still not working?
18. You mean, haven’t I repaired it yet? No, I haven’t as a matter of fact.
19. Hi
20. Hell, its freezing in here!
21. Well don’t look at me!
22. Repairing things is your responsibility, Jean. It’s part of our agreement, right?
23. Look, I’ve done my best. I just can’t work out what’s wrong with it. We’ll have to get someone into fix it, that’s all
24. We’re not paying some rebuff company.
25. Great! So we’re going to freeze to death are we until we can find some to do it for free?
26. Look, Jean We’re supposed to be autonomous and self-sufficient, so we should be able to deal with little mechanical problems like this.
27. Oh bravo here here! That’s all very well in theory, Annie, but I don’t know how to mend the central heating. If I ‘d known how to fix it, I would have fixed it. Got that?
28. Hey! Take it easy, you two!
29. Anyway, before you get any more involved in this there’s just been this really weird phone call for you, Annie A lady called, Kristi oh hell, Kristi something or other.
30. Never heard of her. What was it about?
31. She said… what was it now? Let me see if I can remember. Oh, yeah, these are these Germans, right, and they’re in… I don’t know, maybe some kind of trouble with the police, and yeah, anyway, she’s got message for you.
32. What Germans? What kind of trouble.
33. Don’t you know?
34. No. I’ve got no idea. Are you sure she wasn’t a cop?
35. Well, she didn’t sound like a cop, but I must say she was German and I don’t know what German cops sound like. No, hang on, if she ‘s been a cop, she’d just have run off. She’d have called back later. She wouldn’t have left her address and phone number. don’t you think?
36. Oh she left address and phone number?
37. Yeah, hmm it must be here or somewhere. Oh, here. Here you are.
38. Thanks.
39. While, we’re on the subject of cops, what about that guy that came to the door this morning?
40. Oh, don’t worry about him. He’s just some hopeless some idiot my father used to know.
41. Well I do worry, Annie. We’ve got mysterious Germans ringing us up, we’ve got the police watching us. How did this guy get hold of your address anyway. What’s going on, eh?
42. Calm down Jean. It was completely by chance that he came here. He was selling electrical goods or something. As for this Kristi lady, look if it had been anything really serious the German would have contacted me directly, right?
43. Not the one who were in prison.
44. Anyway, I’ll ring her later, OK? Look, I haven’t unpacked the shopping yet.
45. I hope the fridge is working at least.
46. Well done Jean.
47. My pleasure. And I mended the freezer too.
48. Listen, I’m exhausted. I’m going to my room to lie down for a bit. Will you both still be in later?
49. Yeah.
50. OK. Oh, by the way was there any mail for me?
51. Yeah, a couple of letters. I put them on your desk in your room.
52. Thanks, Jean.
