Hello? |
|
V: |
Is that you, Joan? |
J: |
Yes ... Who's speaking? |
V: |
This is Vivien, your neighbour. Listen, Joan would you do me a favour? |
J: |
Yes, of course Viv. What is it? |
V: |
Could you go to my flat ...? |
J: |
Go to your flat? Aren't you at home? |
V: |
No, I'm not. I'm in New York. |
J: |
New York? You aren't serious, are you? |
V: |
Yes, I am. I'm here on business. It's something urgent. - Look ... You know that electric heater on the wall in my bathroom ... |
J: |
Yes? |
V: |
If it's on, could you turn it off, please? |
J: |
Yes, of course. Anything else? |
V: |
Yes. Would you also take the post out of my letter box ... and tell the milkman: no milk till next Monday. |
J: |
Righto, Viv. When are you coming back? |
V: |
On Sunday. Let me give you my address and phone number, just in case. |
J: |
Yes, go ahead? |
V: |
It's the Clinton Hotel ... |
J: |
Clinton Hotel. Yes? |
V: |
And the number is New York 279-4017. |
J: |
279-4017. Right, Viv. Anything else? |
V: |
No, that's all, Joan. I hope it isn't too much trouble. |
J: |
No, it's no problem at all. Have a nice time in New York! |
V: |
Thank you. - Bye! |
J: |
Bye-bye! |
