Treść lekcji:
WPC	Well, thank you very much, Ms Jacobs. You've put my mind at rest.
SYLVIA	Always a pleasure.
WPC	I'm sure. Now, don't do anything I wouldn't do, will you?
SYLVIA	Course not.
WPC	Goodbye.
GINA	Everything All right, Sylvia ?
SYLVIA	Oh yes. Just giving a character reference, that's all.
GINA	A character reference?
SYLVIA	Yes. For our friend, Gary.
GINA	But I didn 't think he was your friend.
SYLVIA	Oh, I don't know. Gary and I have come to a little agreement, actually.
GINA	How do you mean ?
SYLVIA	Well, in return for my little character reference, Gary's agreed to... how shall I put it?... to do business on a level playing field. I'm going to continue to sell my exotic fruit; he's going to stick to the kind of business he knows best.
GINA	I see.
SYLVIA	I'll close on Wednesdays to give him the market to himself. He'll do the same for me on Thursdays.
GINA	And when do these new arrangements start, then?
SYLVIA	From today, so he says.
GINA	Ho-ho. I will believe it when I see it.
GARY	Morning girls.
S & G	Oh hi, Gary.
GARY	I saw you standing, chatting in the cold. So, I thought I'd bring you both a nice hot cup of tea.
GINA	Oh. that is very nice of you.
GARY	Oh. you won't find a better neighbour than Gary-Smart. Ain't that right, Sylv?
SYLVIA	Cheers, Gary.
GINA	So, do you think he's going to turn over a new leaf?
SYLVIA	Let's see what happens, shall we?
ANNE	You 're going back to see your family soon, aren't you?
JONATHAN	Yes, that's right. I leave on Saturday.
ANNE	It's come round very quickly now, hasn't it?
JONATHAN	Yes!
ANNE	How will you get there?
JONATHAN	I'm flying from Heathrow and it's going to take about 26-28 hours! It's just so dreadful those flights. You just haves to sit through it!
ANNE	Will you have a good book to read?
JONATHAN	Yes. I'll have a book, and some tapes to listen to and magazines to read...
ANNE	Sounds to me as though you could do with sleeping pills!
