W o o d y. Hi, Alessandra. I'm Woody. Woody Bates.

A l e s s a n d r a. Do you live here in London, Woody?

A l e s s a n d r a. What's your job?

W o o d y. I'm an actor. What's your job?

A l e s s a n d r a. I work in a hotel.

W o o d y. You aren't English, but you speak English very well. Where do

you come from?

A l e s s a n d r a. I'm Italian. I come from Verona.

W o o d y. Oh, I love Italy.

A l e s s a n d r a. Really?

W o o d y. Oh, yes. I like the food and the wine very much.

C r a i g. I've just got a telegram from Margaret and Greg.

C a r o l. Are they coming to England again?

C a r o l. Good. We can all get together again.

C r a i g. I'm glad they're coming in August. We can take the dog and go for

walks together.

C a r o l. Yes. And we can give a garden party.

again.

C a r o l. Yes. August is a good time to come to England.

B u t c h e r.Good morning, Mrs Church.

M r s C h u r c h. Good morning, Mr Cheshire. I'd like some chops for the

children's lunch.

B u t c h e r. Chump chops or shoulder chops, Mrs Church?

M r s C h u r c h. I'll have four shoulder chops, and I want a small chicken.

B u t c h e r. Would you like to choose a chicken, Mrs Church?

M r s C h u r c h. Which one is cheaper?

B u t c h e r. This one's the cheapest. It's a delicious chicken.

M r s C h u r c h. How much is all that? I haven't got cash. Can I pay by

cheque?

B u t c h e r. Of course, Mrs Church.
