DH: And you, young Simon? Where would you like to live?

SC: I... I don't know, sir. The city is more __________, and you can __________ lots of money there. It's more comfortable than the country. But the

country is more _________ for me. I'd like to live in a cottage _________, or __________. In Cornwall, for example.

DH: Do you have a fiat?

C: Yes, it's very small and uncomfortable.

DH: And what about Alice? Does she have a flat, too?

C: Yes, her flat is bigger and more comfortable, but she doesn't like it. It's too expensive.

3. YOU NEED A NEW HOME!

DH: You should ______________your flat and Alice's fiat and buy a cottage in Cornwall.

SC: What?!

DH: Why not?

SC: I... never _____________about it.

DH: Think about it now. Get married, ______________your name, sell your flats and go to Cornwall. It will be much safer. Come on, let's ______________! How many rooms will you need?

SC: Well... not many. Just a kitchen, a living-room, a bedroom... no, 2 bedrooms, one for us and one for guests. Two bath­rooms. A verandah, maybe. We will sit there and drink tea and look at the sea. We will need a garage, too.

JC: And a ______________.

SC: But we don't have children (дети)... Oh. I see. Yes, why not?!

DH: You should sell your flat and Alice's flat and buy a cottage in Cornwall.

SC: What?!

DH: Why not?

SC: I... never thought about it.

DH: Think about it now. Get married, change your name, sell your flats and go to Cornwall. It will be much safer. Come on, let's dream! How many rooms will you need?

SC: Well... not many. Just a kitchen, a living-room, a bed­room... no, 2 bedrooms, one for us and one for guests. Two bathrooms. A verandah, maybe. We will sit there and drink tea and look at the sea. We will need a garage, too.

JC: And a nursery.

SC: But we don't have children... Oh. I see. Yes, why not?!

4. EVERYBODY NEEDS SECOND CHANCES

SC: I'm very ______________ to you, sir, but... Why are you doing this for me?

DH: Oh. it's very easy, young Simon. Who will be happy if you go to prison? You won't, of course. And poor lady Alice won't be happy. And I won't, because I ______________when good people go to prison. You, Connor?

JC: Of course not, sir! How can you ask?

DH: So, why should you go to prison, Mr. Cross?

SC: But the ______________...

DH: The law should ______________ people, young Simon. Tomorrow constable Connor and I will go to London, and I will ______________the case.

SC: Thank you sir. I'll never forget it.

DH: You're welcome, Simon Cross... _________________________________________.
