8.14

(script in Student Book on p.121)

L = Leo, K = Kim, W = waiter

L Hello.

W Good evening, sir, madam. What can I get you?

K How about a coffee? I’m still cold.

W Yes, madam. And you, sir?

L You know, I’m cold, too. I’ll also have a coffee, thanks.

W Here you are!

L Well, here’s to our new house!

K Yes!

W You’re new around here, aren’t you?

L Yes, that’s right.

K We just rented the big house on Darwin Road.

W Which house? The Travers family’s house?

L Yes.

W Oh.

L Is something wrong?

W Who showed you the house?

K Barbara. The old lady who lived there before.

W Ah, Barbara. Old Mr. Travers’s daughter. Some people thought that she was the one who did it.

K The one who did what? What happened?

W Didn’t she tell you?

L Tell us what?

W About the murder.

L & K Murder?

W Yes, Mr. Travers was murdered in that house in 1965…in his bed.

K Oh, how horrible!

W The man who killed Mr. Travers was Barbara’s lover. The family never lived there again. They tried to sell the house, but nobody wanted to buy it. Not after a murder. That’s why that house is always rented. Barbara never married, of course.

L Kim?

K Yes?

L Are you thinking what I’m thinking?

K Yes – I don’t want to live in a house where somebody was murdered. Come on. Let’s go.

W Hey, hey, your coffee! You didn’t drink your coffee… Ah, well.
