| The American Inheritance 14.1.1 Kirree wants to get money from a bank. She goes to a bank in Douglas with Ealee and Juan. Kirree: I want to get American money with this credit card. Juan: There’s the place for international business. Kirree goes to the counter. Assistant: Can I help you? Kirree: I’d like two hundred American dollars. Here’s my card... Assistant: Thank you. Would you sign this form, please... Thank you. I’ll be back in a minute. The assistant does not come back in a minute. At last, she appears, with a manager. Manager: Excuse me, madam, but there appears to be a difficulty. I’m sorry, but we can’t give you the money at this point in time. Kirree: What difficulty? Manager: Your card isn’t valid. Kirree complains, but cannot get the money. She leaves the bank with Ealee and Juan. The American Inheritance 14.1.2 When they arrive home, there is a police car outside. Ealee: Good heavens! There’s Inspector Jones! Inspector Jones: I’m sorry, but I have an unpleasant duty. He looks at Kirree. Inspector Jones: Mary Schwartz, I am arresting you. Anything you say may be taken down and used in evidence against you... Kirree: Is this a joke? And who’s Mary Schwartz? Inspector Jones: It’s not a joke. And you are Mary Schwartz. . Come with us, please. Kirree: This is scandalous. I demand a lawyer! Inspector Jones: We can arrange that at the station. Get in the car, please. They get in and the police car drives off. Juan: I know what you’re about to say. Ealee: I won’t say it. |
