Episode 0098 - The Rewards: Broker, Joan, Bob, Ted, Leila, Wendy, Zola, ~ 07 ``Leila: Morning Ted. ``Ted: Morning girls. ``Wendy: We have to take a balloon back with us! ``Ted: You must be joking! ``Leila: No, deadly serious. ``Ted: A real one? ``Leila: Your estate car should take it. ``Ted: Not all in one go, it will take two or three trips. ``Wendy: Therefore, you will have to do three runs and Zola can stay here, then she can help us to drag it all up the path. ``Ted: All right, but I want to come with you when you buy it, to make sure it goes in the back. Also you will need a special trolley carrier with big rubber wheels, otherwise you will never get it up that pathway. ``Wendy: Agreed. Anyway as you were a pilot, is our old friend still around? ``Ted: Bob yes, but he is not cheap! ``Leila: We have the money. It is the discreetness of the deal which counts. ``Wendy: So how about this afternoon? ``Ted. Okay. ``Wendy: Please stay and keep Zola company, as we have to do some shopping. ``Leila: You can play cards together. {Pawn Broker ~ 4} ``Wendy: Good morning is the boss in? ``Joan: I can call him for you, if it is urgent. ``Wendy: Yes please, say it is the two ladies from last month! ``Joan: Take a seat please. --- [Ring-ring] --- ``Broker: Yes Joan. --- ``Joan: I have the two ladies here from last month. --- ``Broker: Make them a coffee, and I will be back shortly, bye. --- ``Joan: How would you like your coffees, as he will be back shortly. ``Leila: Just two normal coffees, whitish please, but no sugar. --- Drinks --- thanks. I nearly said zarfs. --- ``Broker: Hello ladies, I am sorry to keep you waiting, please do come into the office. --- Do I anticipate that you have something else special for me? ``Wendy: Yes we do, and these are ‘out of this world range’ of gold nuggets! ``Broker: Wonderful, let me take a look. --- Most interesting, you certainly have me beaten on this one. Absolutely a gem. I do not know how to price it, as I have never had the privilege of seeing this quality before, so would you like to name your price? ``Wendy: I need to pay a bill off and there is twice as much as last time, and the quality is far better as well. ``Broker: Indeed, so your requirement is? ``Leila: £5,000? ``Broker: Most certainly. I will go and see what I have in the safe. --- Here you are ladies, and please call again. ``Wendy: Thank you and we might just be able to do that! ``Broker: Always a pleasure to do business with you. Good day. ``Wendy: Bye. --- ``Zola: Okay? ``Wendy: Zaa. ``Leila: Blimey, that is possibly worth ten grand on the market. ``Wendy: I would not be surprised either, and he was so keen to close the deal. ``Leila: Again, we have been sold short. ``Wendy: Yes, but I agreed to it, and we cannot afford any questions being asked. ``Leila: True. ``Wendy: We have more than enough now to buy a balloon, and anything left over we will split half each as before. ``Zola: What about me? {Balloon Company ~ 4} ``Bob: Good afternoon, I recognize some faces! So what is the pleasure of your visit? ``Wendy: We wish to buy one of your balloons. ``Bob: This is an unexpected pleasure. Let me show you around, and do you know what you have in mind? ``Wendy. A medium sized balloon to take 4 people, with all the add-ons and one which has a trolley to make it portable. ``Bob: I have three or four balloons to fit that category, and one is used. How will you be paying? ``Leila: Cash of course. ``Ted: Nothing fancy or with advertising on it. ``Bob: In that case, it leaves a choice of two. ``Ted: And it has to pack into my estate car! ``Bob: I would suggest this one. It has a wicker basket, with a rainbow pattern on the silk. ``Leila: Cost? ``Bob: Cash? ``Wendy: Yes. ``Bob: And delivery? ``Wendy: 34 Km, by tomorrow please? ``Bob: All in with extras and trolley? I can do that for £3,000. ``Wendy: Agreed. --- ``Leila: Here you are, in bundles of £500 times six. ``Bob: Let me get you a receipt. ``Leila: No thank you, just make sure we have it delivered to this address by tomorrow. ``Bob: I most certainly will, and wish you a good day. ``Wendy: Good-bye. --- Ted: I still do not know how you manage to do it. ``Leila: All right Zola? ``Zola: Did you get one? ``Leila: Zaa. < grand = thousand> < Previous Page 97 Auriga [00 = 094 <119> 03 = 026] 02.5.7 Ault Next Page 99 > |
