DAVID: Hi there, Dad!

HUGO: Hello, David! What are you doing here?

DAVID: Oh, I just want to say hi, you know.

DAVID: I have some news for you.

HUGO: Oh, do you? Is it good news or bad news?

DAVID: It's good news, really. I'm going to Switzerland.

HUGO: Are you? Why?

DAVID: I'm in love, you see. I'm in love with a great girl!

HUGO: Oh, I see. Grand! Is she one of your students?

DAVID: That's right, her name's Heidi. She lives near Berne.

HUGO: Well, David, you're a free man. You can go where you like. Er... when are you going?

DAVID: That's the problem. Perhaps next week - I don't know.

HUGO: You don't know? Why not?

DAVID: Well, er...I don't have very much money. Switzerland is a very expensive country. So, can you give me some money, Dad?

HUGO: I see, you want some money. I understand. Look, David, you're thirty years old. Why do you always ask me for money? It's ridiculous!

DAVID: I'm sorry, Dad. I really want to see Heidi. I love her!

HUGO: Oh, David, you're impossible! You have a job, anyway. How much do you earn?

DAVID: Not very much - only $15002 a month.

HUGO: Oh, alright! How much do you want?

DAVID: Can I have $2000, please?

HUGO: Here you are, David. And don't ask me again!

DAVID: Thanks, Dad. You're great! Bye-bye!

HUGO: Bye-bye, David. Have a good time in Switzerland.
