It's no good asking me.

I know nothing about it.

What's the matter?

I'm just feeling sorry for myself.

How come?

I had to walk to work...

because my car was being repaired.

Is that all?

Well, I'm not used to being without it.

Worse things happen, don't they?

You know,

I was just about to say the same thing.

I used to prefer...

working on my own.

I wasn't used to sharing...

ideas and information.

Now I enjoy...

being part of a team.

I'm very fond...

of the people I work with.

Everyone's so nice and friendly.

I'm sorry about last night.

I'm sorry I woke you up.

Vast sums of money...

are being spent...

on finding an AIDS vaccine.

How come our order...

still hasn't been sent?

All I can say is I'm sorry.

The delay was caused by a strike.

That's not our fault, is it?

With all due respect,

we cannot continue...

to supply goods...

unless payments are kept up to date.

This is outrageous!

I would have thought...

that an old customer like me...

deserved to be treated better.

Can I see you for a few minutes?

No, I've got to go now.

I've got an appointment

I should be free...

at half past one.

Shall we meet then?

We've got a date with Susan.

We're going into town...

to see the exhibition.

Would you like to join us?

Shall I open the window?

Shall I close the door?

I can't understand them.

They speak too fast.

What on earth is that?

It's a painting of my Aunt Agatha.

Whoever did it...

didn't know much...

about anatomy.

It was done...

by a famous French painter.

She left it to me when she died.

So now it belongs to me.

Do you intend to keep it?

We'll see.

For the moment,

I just want to enjoy...

owning a great work of art.

I got rid of all the junk...

in our garage.

I had someone come...

and take it away.

Now there's even room for the car.
