TAPESCRIPTS
Hi, Celia, it’s me. Yes, I’m at the airport. No, no, I’ve got my passport-unlike last time when I forgot it. Look, I’m afraid I’ve left my diary. No, no the big desk one, the one I keep in my handbag- it’s on the top of my laptop computer. I know, I was going to bring my laptop but I just couldn’t carry anything else. Well, if it’s not there, it’ll be in the top drawer of my desk. Yes? Brilliant. Can you get here in the next hour? I’ll wait at check in – and thank you!
Hello. My name’s Birch, Alan Birch, that’s right, yes, from the studio. Yes, my usual please, no, hang on, I think I’d like a different topping. Can I have mushrooms instead of onions? I’m sorry this is bad line, I can hardly hear you, and it’s breaking up. What? I’m in my car, yes, stuck in the traffic jam. I’m absolutely starving. Look, can you get the boy to go round to my office- opposite the studio- and I’ll pick it up from there? Sure, I’ll be in my car. If he waits on the pavement outside, I’ll pay him when I get there. Great. Thanks a lot.
A: Good morning. You are through to Maria. How can I help you?
B: I need to talk to someone about my mobile phone.
A: Can you tell me the problem, please?
B: Well, I bought my phone about four weeks ago and I think there must be something wrong with the battery. Even if I charge it up every night I only seem to get about 10 minutes’ talking time. I took it back to the shop but they didn’t want to know.
A: Oh. That sounds strange. The shop really deals with it. We’ll let you have a special envelope so you can send it back to us and we’ll check the battery for you.
B: Right, thanks.
It won’t be any trouble at all. I mean, you’d do the same for me. Of course work doesn’t come before family, I know, but there are times like conference this weekend when you’ve got no choice. I’d go to the conference for you, but I don’t think your boss’d like that! Look, I’m sure I can find some way of entertaining them. We could go to the sports center or maybe see a film. Why don’t you ask them what they’d like to do and give me a ring back? You concentrate on sorting out your work.
