Mrs. Harris	This is the toilet. It's between the kitchen and the living room.
Mr. Jones	There you are! A wonderful new kitchen.
Mrs. Harris	It's very small.
Mr. Jones	Some people prefer small kitchens.
Mrs. Harris	I don't, Mr. Jones.
Mr. Jones	There's the cooker. And there is the refrigerator.
Mrs. Harris	Where?
Mr. Jones	Behind you.The refrigerator is behind you.
Mrs. Harris	I can't open it.
Mr. Harris	I can put the table outside. Then you can open the refrigerator.
Mrs. Harris	But I need the table in here. What's that under the table? On the floor.
Mr. Jones	... It's a box.
Mrs. Harris	What's inside the box?
Mr. Jones	Spoons, knives, forks, ...
Mr. Harris	Plates.
Mrs. Harris	Cups. Where will we put these things?
Mr. Harris	On the floor. Put them back under the table. Put them here on the floor.

Tracy	I'm coming down, ahhh ...
Mr. Jones	Well, it's a new house.
Mr. Harris	What happened?
Tracy	I fell through the floor!
Mrs. Harris	It's a new house! What will you do now, Mr. Jones?
Mr. Jones	I don't know, Mrs. Harris. My brother will be here in a moment.
Mr. Harris	I'd like a drink.
Tracy	I'd like one too. I had a drink, but it's gone.
Mrs. Harris	Well, we haven't got any drinks here.
Mr. Jones	Shall we watch television? I' 11 turn it on for you.
Mr. Harris	What's that programme?
Tracy	It isn't a programme. It's a television commercial. Look! Fiasco! I had a drink of Fiasco upstairs and something happened to me. Things happen to people who drink Fiasco!
