Κώστας:Τι βλέπεις; Ειδήσεις;

Ελένη:Ναι, ένα ρεπορτάζ για τον δήμαρχο.

Κώστας:Κι αυτά τα κατσάβραχα τι είναι;

Ελένη:Το παλιό λατομείο στην Πεντέλη. Το ρεπορτάζ είναι αρκετά πανούργο! Χωρίς να το λέει ξεκάθαρα, υπονοεί ότι ο τρόπος που διαχειρίστηκε το θέμα ο δήμαρχος αφήνει περιθώρια για παρεξηγήσεις.

Κώστας:Χμμμμ. Θα πρέπει να το δούμε καλύτερα αυτό.

Ελένη:Να πάμε να μιλήσουμε με τους κατοίκους της περιοχής;

Κώστας:Σίγουρα... για αρχή. Και μετά να πάμε να μιλήσουμε και με τον δημοτικό σύμβουλο που χειρίστηκε την υπόθεση.

Ελένη:Πιστεύεις ότι αυτό το ρεπορτάζ μπορεί να επηρεάσει τις εκλογές;

Κώστας:Δεν νομίζω. Απ' ό,τι φαίνεται από τις δημοσκοπήσεις, το αποτέλεσμα έχει κριθεί υπέρ του δημάρχου. Όμως ποτέ δεν ξέρεις!

Ελένη:Ωραία. Ας το ψάξουμε λίγο παραπάνω. Θα το βάλω μπροστά αύριο πρωί-πρωί και θα σε πάρω τηλέφωνο μόλις έχω κάτι.

Κώστας:Εντάξει. Κι εγώ θα μιλήσω και με το αφεντικό, να δούμε μήπως μπορεί να μάθει κάτι και από τον ίδιο τον δήμαρχο.

----Formal English----

Kostas: What are you watching? The news?

Eleni: Yes, a story about the mayor.

Kostas: And what are these crags?

Eleni: The old quarry in Penteli. The story is quite a cunning one! Without saying it clearly, it insinuates that the way the mayor handled the issue leaves room for misunderstandings.

Kostas: Hmmm. We'll have to take a better look into that.

Eleni: Shall we go and talk with the residents of that area?

Kostas: Definitely...for starters. And after that, let's also talk with the city counselor who handled the case.

Eleni: Do you believe that this story might affect the elections?

Kostas: I don't think so. From the polls, it seems that the outcome has been decided in favor of the mayor. But you never know!

Eleni: Good. Let's research this a little bit more. I'll start tomorrow, early in the morning, and will call you as soon as I have something.

Kostas: OK, and I'll talk with the boss and see if he can find out something from the mayor himself.

----Formal Romanization----

Kostas:Ti vlépis? Idísis?

Eleni:Ne, éna reportáz ya ton dímarho.

Kostas:Ke aftá ta katsávraha ti íne?

Eleni:To palió latomío stin Pendéli. To reportáz íne arketá panúrgo! Horís na to léi xekáthara, iponoí óti o trópos pu diahirístike to théma o dímarhos afíni perithória ya parexiyísis.

Kostas:Hmmm. Tha prépi na to dúme kalítera aftó.

Eleni:Na páme na milísume me tus katíkus tis periohís?

Kostas:Sígura... ya arhi. Ke metá na páme na milísume ke me ton dimotikó símvulo pu hirístike tin ipóthesi.

Eleni:Pistévis óti aftó to reportáz borí na epireási tis ekloyés?

Kostas:Den nomízo. Ap' ó,ti fénete apo tis dimoskopísis, to apotélesma éhi krithí ipér tu dimárhu. Ómos poté den xéris!

Eleni:Oréa. As to psáxume lígo parapáno. Tha to válo brostá ávrio proí-proí ke tha se páro tiléfono mólis ého káti.

Kostas:Endáxi. Ki egó tha milíso ke me to afendikó, na dúme mípos borí na máthi káti ke apó ton ídio ton dímarho.
