[00:08.52]A Difficult Customer
[00:11.60]Dolores work in a shop selling gramophone records.
[00:16.14]One afternoon a middle-aged woman came in,sat on a stool in fornt of the counter,and smiled at her brightly.
[00:24.42]"I want a record,dear,"she began."One I heard on the radil this morning。”
[00:30.17]"What was the record?"Dolores asded,without much hope.The woman shook her head.
[00:37.62]"I don't remember.I should know it if I heard it,though.
[00:43.05]Perhaps if you play me a few records,I shall be able to pick it out."
[00:47.83]She settled herself more comfortably on her stool.
[00:51.83]"We have hundreds of records in stock,"Dolores pointed out.
[00:56.61]"It would take a very long time to play you even a little of each.Could you hum it to me?"
[01:03.32]The woman shook her head again."I can't even sing the National Anthem in tune.
[01:09.64]We should only get into a complete muddle if I were to starty humming.
[01:14.00]"She looked quite depressed,as if this reminder of her own lack of musical ability were the last straw.
[01:22.13]Then suddenly her face brightened."I've just remembered something."she said.
[01:28.16]"It comes from a play.There's a girl who speaks very badly,if you see what I mean.
[01:34.15]But after a time she learns to talk well.Something about-what do you call it?Phonetics."
[01:41.96]This was enough for Dolores."If you ask me,it's from 'My Fair Lady',"she said.
[01:48.43]"The's it,dear.If you'd thought of it sooner,we wouldn't have wasted so much time.
[01:54.10]I suppose you are new to the job."
