AN - Living English - Second on the Left

Episode 4 - Transcript
ANNE is looking for JOHN’s office. A WOMAN is waiting
at a bus stop. ANNE approaches her.


ANNE
Excuse me.

WOMAN
Yes?

ANNE
Could you tell me how to get to Mitchell Street?

WOMAN
Yes. You’re going the wrong way. You need to go straight along here, past the silver balls, turn left, and it’s the second on the right, opposite the Town Hall.

ANNE
Thankyou very much.

WOMAN
You’re welcome.
ANNE follows the directions. She approaches a shopkeeper.

ANNE
Excuse me.

SHOPKEEPER
Yes?

ANNE
I’m looking for number 23. Barbour’s Private Investigator.

SHOPKEEPER
Over there. Next to the trees.

ANNE
Oh. Thankyou

SHOPKEEPER
Good luck. You’ll need it.
ANNE enters the building and goes up the stairs. She knocks at the
door.


JOHN
Come in!
ANNE enters and looks around.

JOHN
(to ANNE) Sorry.
(to phone) Yes, any time…yes usual rates. Must go now. Right. Goodbye. Julia. Bye.
He hangs up and leaps to shake ANNE’s hand.

ANNE
Mr Barbour?

JOHN
John. Private investigator. You must be Ms Lee. Please sit down.
She does so, hesitantly.

JOHN
Now - what can I do for you Ms Lee?
She puts the photo of DAVID on his desk.

ANNE
Could you find him for me?
