[02:40.63]Section Two:
[02:44.65]A. Interview:
[02:47.29]Johnson: Good evening, Miss Malinen. Won't you sit down?
[02:50.92]Elina: Good evening. Thank you.
[02:52.56]Johnson: Now, I notice you left the Hotel Scandinavia in 1980.
[02:56.93]What are you now doing in England?
[02:59.12]Elina: I'm spending a few months brushing up my English and getting to know the country better.
[03:04.37]Johnson: And you want to work in England too. Why?
[03:07.64]Elina: I'm keen on getting some experience abroad, and I like England and English people.
[03:12.55]Johnson: Good. Now I see from the information you sent me that you've worked in your last employment for nearly four years.
[03:19.21]Was that a large restaurant?
[03:21.30]Elina: Medium-size for. Finland, about forty tables.
[03:25.01]Johnson: I see. Well, you'd find it rather different here.
[03:28.67]Ours is much smaller, we have only ten tables.
[03:31.28]Elina: That must be very cosy.
[03:33.24]Johnson: We try to create a warm, intimate atmosphere.
[03:36.24]Now, as to the job, you would be expected to look after five tables normally, though we get in extra staff for peak periods.
[03:43.66]Elina: I see.
[03:44.91]Johnson: I'm the Restaurant Manager and Head Waiter, so you'd be working directly under me.
[03:48.94]You'd be responsible for bringing in the dishes from the kitchen, serving the drinks,
[03:52.99]and if necessary looking after the bills. So you'd be kept pretty busy.
[03:56.83]Elina: I'm used to that. In my last position we were busy most of the time, especially in summer.
[04:02.21]Johnson: Good. Now, is there anything you'd like to ask about the job?
[04:05.71]Elina: Well, the usual question--what sort of salary were you thinking of paying?
[04:11.12]Johnson: We pay our waiters forty pounds a week, and you would get your evening meal free.
[04:15.76]Elina: I see.
[04:16.99]Johnson: Now, you may have wondered why I asked you here so late in the day. The fact is, I would like to see you in action, so to speak.
[04:24.99]Would you be willing to act as a waitress here this evening for half-an-hour or so? Our first customer will be coming in, let me see,
[04:32.01]in about ten minutes' time.
[04:34.36]Elina: Well, I'm free this evening otherwise.
[04:36.79]Johnson: Good. And in return perhaps you will have dinner with us? Now, let me show you the kitchen first. This way, please...
[04:46.41]B. Discussion:(sound of kettle whistling)
[04:51.29]Tom: Well, what's the forecast? Are we going to have more snow?
[04:54.90]And ... is your mother awake?
[04:57.17]Helen: Hang on, Dad. The first answer is 'yes' and the second is 'no'. Let's have a cup of tea.
[05:03.41]Tom: That's a good idea  ....  Where's Jean? Where's your mother?
[05:06.63]Jean, how about some breakfast?
[05:09.21]Helen: Shh. Mother's still asleep, as I've told you.
[05:12.58]Tom: And what about the twins? Where are Peter and Paul?
[05:15.30]Helen: They were sick all night. That's why Mum is so tired today.
[05:19.16]And ... they're having a birthday party tomorrow. Remember?
[05:23.00]Tom: Another birthday? Helen, look at the clock. It's 8.45. Let's go. We're going to be late.
[05:31.62]C. Past Mistakes:
[05:35.73]--Me, officer? You're joking!
[05:39.57]--Come off it, Mulligan. For a start, you spent three days watching the house.
[05:42.91]You shouldn't have done that, you know.
[05:44.95]The neighbors got suspicious and phoned the police ...rebut I was only looking, officer.
[05:48.97]--... and on the day of the robbery, you really shouldn't have used your own car.
[05:52.13]We got your number. And if you'd worn a mask, you wouldn't have been recognized.
[05:55.89]--I didn't go inside!
[05:57.12]--Ah, there's another thing. You should've worn gloves, Mulligan.
[05:59.99]If you had, you wouldn't have left your fingerprints all over the house.
[06:02.61]We found your fingerprints on the jewels, too.
[06:04.77]--You mean.., you've found the jewels?
[06:07.88]---Oh yes. Where you ... er ... 'hid' them. Under your mattress.
[06:11.80]--My God! You know everything! I'll tell you something, officer
[06:17.39]--you shouldn't have joined the police force. If you'd taken up burglary, you'd have made a fortune!
[06:16.39]D. Monologue:
[06:20.26]Why do people play football? It's a stupid game, and dangerous too.
[06:27.05]Twenty-two men fight for two hours to kick a ball into a net.
[06:31.31]They get more black eyes than goals. On dry, hard pitches they break their bones.
[06:36.79]On muddy ones they sprain their muscles. Footballers must be mad. And why do people watch football?
[06:44.29]They must be mad too. They certainly shout and scream like madmen.
[06:49.67]In fact I'm afraid to go out when there's a football match..The crowds are so dangerous.
[06:55.34]I'd rather stay at home and watch TV. But what happens when I switch on?
[07:00.41]They've showing a football match. So I turn on the radio. What do I hear? '
[07:06.31]The latest football scores'. And what do I see when I open a newspaper?
[07:11.64]Photos of footballers, interviews with footballers, reports of football matches.
[07:18.09]Footballers are the heroes of the twentieth century.
[07:21.98]They're rich and famous. Why? Because they can kick a ball around.
