1. Mrs Madigan Goes to the Theatre
Mrs Magan is asking the hotel desk-clerk for information about theatres in St. Francis.
Clerk: Good morning, Mrs. Madigan.
Mrs Magan: Good morning, I think I'd like to go to the theatre tonight. Is there a theatre in the city? Clerk: Would you like a guide?
Mrs Magan: No, no. I'll go by taxi. Clerk: No, madam. A theatre guide. A list of all the theatres in St. Francis, with full details
of the plays and booking facilities. Mrs Magan: How many theatres are there? Clerk: Three.
Mrs Magan: Hmm! What's on at the National Theatre? I've heard it is the best one. Clerk: National Theatre. The "Siege of St. Francis." It's a history play, Mrs. Magan.
Mrs Magan: I'll go there. I'll go and get a ticket.
{Later. At the National Theatre box office.) Mrs Magan: One ticket for tonight, please. In the stalls. Clerk: Which performance?
Mrs Magan: Which performance? Tonight! Clerk: There are two performances nightly. One at six o'clock, the second at nine o'clock. Mrs Magan: Oh, the nine o'clock. Six o'clock much too early. Clerk: Yes, madam.
Mrs Magan: One stall for the second performance this evening. But not too far back. My eyes
are becoming rather weak. Clerk: Yes, madam. Seat A3.
Mrs Magan: Is there a good view of the stage from that seat? Clerk: It's in the front row, madam.
Mrs Magan: Oh, is it? Good. Clerk: Five crowns please.

Attendant: Er, excuse me, madam.
Mrs Migan: Yes?
Attendant: Taking photographs is not permitted in the auditorium.
Mrs Magan: Oh, isn't it? Now, is this the way to the orchestra stalls?
Attendant: Your camera, madam.
Mrs Magan: Camera?
Attendant: Yes, madam. Your camera. There, may I have it?
Mrs Magan: This is my hat.
Attendant: Your hat?
Mrs Magan: Yes. Now, is this the way to my seat, or isn't it?

Cathy: Sam?
Sam: Mmm?
Cathy: What do you want to do tonight?
Sam: Oh, I don't know. Nothing special.
Cathy: Is there anything on at the cinema?
Sam: Here's the paper. Page two.
Cathy: Thanks. (Looking at the paper.) There's a new film by Maurice.
Sam: Who? Who's Maurice?
Cathy: A film director, of course.
Sam: Well, I didn't know. What's it called?
Cathy: 'Elena.'
Sam: 'Elena!' - what kind of film is it?
Cathy: I don't know, but I'd like to see it.
Sam: All right. How long's it been running?
Cathy: Why?
Sam: Well, if it's a new film, it'll be difficult to get a seat.
Cathy: (Looking in the paper again.) No, it says: 'Now in its tenth week.
Continuous performances.'
Sam: So it doesn't matter when we go.
Cathy: No, but...
Sam: Yes?
Cathy: Well, I'd like to go now. Come on.... Sam, come on!

Sam: What now?
Cathy: Where can we go dancing?
Sam: Dancing? You don't like dancing.
Cathy: I know. But tonight I do.
Sam: Perhaps there's something in the paper.
Cathy: Perhaps. (She looks in the newspaper.) What about this place?
Sam: Which place?
Cathy: This one. "Paradise".
Sam: 'Paradise!'
Cathy: (Reading from the paper.) 'Paradise. StFrancis's latest rendezvous for young people. Non-stop entertainment. Live groups, discotheque and restaurant.' What do you think?
Sam: It sounds all right. Does it say anything else?
Caihy: 'The Right of Admission is reserved.'
Sam: Oh. Do you think they'll let me in?
