Question: M: Good morning. Walter Barry here, calling from London. Could I speak to Mr. Grand, please? W: Who's calling, please? M: Walter Barry, from London. W: What is it about, please? M: Well, I understand that your company has a chemical processing plant. My own company, LCP, Liquid Control Products, is a leader in safety from leaks in the field of chemical processing. I would like to speak to Mr. Grand to discuss ways in which we could help TGC protect itself from such problems and save money at the same time. W: Yes, I see. Well, Mr. Grand is not available just now. M: Can you tell me when I could reach him? W: He's very busy for the next few days then he'll be away in New York. So it's difficult to give you a time. M: Could I speak to someone else, perhaps? W: Who in particular? M: A colleague for example? W: You're speaking to his personal assistant. I can deal with calls for Mr. Grand. M: Yes, well, could I ring him tomorrow? W: No, I'm sorry he won't be free tomorrow. Listen, let me suggest something. You send us details of your products and services, together with references from other companies and then we'll contact you. M: Yes, that's very kind of you. I have your address. W: Very good, Mr....

Question: Daughter: Coming. Oh, I'm starving. [Good, good.] Oh yuck! What's that? Father: Ah, now don't complain! Daughter: But what is it, and where is mom? Father: Now, mom put me in charge of dinner because she's not feeling well tonight. Daughter: But what is it ... and that smell! Father: It's pizza. I just followed an old family recipe here, and ... Daughter: Let me see that ... Oh, Dad. [What?] You're missing a page! Father: Oh, uh, well, uh ... well I couldn't find the second page of the recipe, but don't worry. I have plenty of experience around the house. Plenty of experience cooking. Daughter: That's not what mom says. Father: Well, wait, wait, here let me try a piece first. Here, let me, let me cool this off here. Ohhh, yeah. Oh, this is great stuff. Daughter: Yeah right. Why are you making that face? Father: Well, well, it's just, just a little rich for me. That's all. Daughter: Let me try it Dad. Uh. Dad. You put a little too much salt in it and besides it's burned. [Well ... ] And what's that? Father: Oh, well, well, that's just part of my own adaptation to the recipe. I added some pumpkin. Daughter: Oh, not another one of your surprises. Pumpkin doesn't go on pizza! Father: Well, okay, well, so what? Uh, what do we do now? Daughter: Well, how about some cold cereal ... You can't mess up on that, Dad. What was said before this conversation?
