Lesson Twenty-Two

　　Section One:

　　Tapescript.

　　Dialogue 1:

　　Is that the Manager?

　　Speaking. Can I be of any assistance?

　　Could you speed up your switchboard a bit, please? I booked a call to Brussels a good twenty minutes ago and I haven’t had a reply yet.

　　Well, perhaps they are rather busy at this time of the day. After all, we are an hour ahead of Belgium.

　　I know that, but I could have dialed myself direct in no time at all.

　　We do like to route the calls through the operator and then there can be no misunderstanding about the charges, I’m sure you understand.

　　No, I suppose it would be difficult to check the cost of directly-dialed calls, but nevertheless I do have to put through an important call to Brussels.

　　I’ll get on to them myself and see what the delay is, then call you back as soon as I know anything.

　　Dialogue 2:

　　And what seems to be the troubles, sir?

　　They don’t want to let me into the nightclub.

　　Well, I’m afraid there is an entrance charge, sir.

　　But damn it all—I am a resident. It’s ridiculous.

　　I’m very sorry, sir, but you see it is something of a special evening. Our guest star this evening is Sammy Davis Junior and I’m afraid that the tickets do cost 250 marks each. I could see if there are any left if you would like one. We generally try to keep a few back for the residents.
