ON THE AIRCRAFT

Remember:

Steward / stewardess = host / (air)hostess = flight attendant

A

Stewardess: This way, gentlemen. These seats are yours.

N: Have we to strap ourselves with these belts now?

S: No, this is in case of emergency.

N: When shall we begin to tumble down, eh?

S: Complete safety is guaranteed. How do you take to flying, gentlemen?

N: Can't say. I've never been in a plane before. Have you, M.?

M: Neither have 1.1 hope it won't make me feel bad.

S: So do 1. If you should want anything, gentlemen, there's a stewardess call button over there. The individual loud­speaker is at your right.

M: With whom may we talk?

With the captain and me, sir. M: Is smoking allowed here? S: The sign over there will answer your question, sir. M: Oh, yes. Thank you. It'll be a good reminder.

S: The smoking-room is at the rear of the plane.

M: When do we take off?

S: In ten minutes' time. If you feel tired you may adjust the

seat in a reclining position. N: Yes, thank you. How many hops do we make in our flight? S: We are in for a non-stop flight, sir. If you feel hungry, you'll

be provided with a hot meal on the way. N: Oh, that's fine! And when can we have it? S: As soon as we reach altitude. In the meantime you may read

this booklet entitled "The ABCs of Jet Flight." The read­ing light is above you. I hope you will enjoy the flight, gen­tlemen. Both: Thank you.
