Richard and Vic are coming to the building in downtown Manhattan where «MEDHQ» is situated.

— Oh, this skyscraper is really tall!

— Our office in on the 25th floor.

— I see. What does that sign say?

— That's the name of our firm. «MEDEQ». It's short for «medical equipment».

— When was the firm founded?

— In 2008. Back then it was called «Agency for Medical Equipment». It was situated in a small office far away from here.

— But later you moved.

— That's right.

— I'm really impressed with the progress of your firm.

— Oh, thanks.

— Now I'll see what a real modern office is like.

— Come in. Welcome to our office.

— It's full of modern equipment.

— Let's go for a swim. — Why don't we get down to business? — Why not discuss the itinerary first?   — I have already prepared ours. We could visit some of the hospitals if you want to. —We could also see the labs. — I suppose we could start tomorrow morning. — I suppose we could go to the hospital right after breakfast. — I suggest we start at 9:00 so that we could see more. — What about a cup of coffee? —Why not? — Yes, okay. — Yes, that's a good idea. How about writing down all the proposals? — Yes, that would be very interesting.   — Great! — Yes, why not start tomorrow?   — Shall we make it 10 o'clock?   — It's okay with me.   — That would be great!

— Are we going to see some more pictures? —Why don't we go to the mo vies tonight? — I suppose we could visit David in his office and have lunch together. — I guess not, I don't feel like it. — No, I don't want to. — I'd rather not.

— What are you looking for?   — You mean folders? Like this one?     — They are called paper clips, if you mean these things here. — Is there anything in particu­lar you want to get for your wife?   — You mean curlers? — What kind? — I guess so. What about your daughter? What would she like? — Do you mean eye shadow?   — Eye liner? — For… those things you put papers into. I don't know what you call them. — Yes, that's it thank you. And haven't you got those things that hold papers together? — Oh, yes, I always forget that word. Thanks. — Yes, she asked me to bring her those things for her hair; you know… uh… to make it curl. — Yes, I believe you are right. — Uh… are there many kinds? — She wants those paints for her eyes; I've forgotten what you call them. — Yes, that's it. And those pencils… well, you know… — Yes, I guess this is what she meant. I can't ever remember all those words.

— What did he want? — What did he ask you about?   — What did he say?   — Why did he leave? — Are we going to see him again? — He wanted to know what time it was. — He wondered if I was ready to speak at the meeting. — He said he couldn't accompa­ny us to New York. — He said he had to be at the office at ten. — Yes, he said he would come to the hotel to see us to the air­port.

— What did he talk to you about, that reporter? — He asked, if I had enjoyed my stay in America, where I had been, what I had seen, whom I'd met, why I'd come, when I would come again, and so on and so forth.

— I saw you talking to that young man from the «Star». What did you talk about?   — Did he ask you about the project?   — Did you give him any details of the project?     — What else did you talk about? — He wanted to know where I came from. He asked, what I liked about America, where I had been, what I had seen. — Oh, yes, he wondered if we were going to start some sort of joint venture. — No, I said I couldn't give him any details, since we hadn't signed the contract yet. I said I had to talk to the partners first. — Nothing. He just thanked me and left.

— Ms. Friedman, are there any messages for me?   — Please do. Did Morrison call?   — What else?   — Any important messages?   — Shall we leave the lady alone? And tell me, did the MEDEQ people call about the joint venture?   — What did say about that? — Yes, Mr. Robertson. People kept calling all day yester­day. Shall I read them to you? — Yes, he asked if you had read his report. — A lady, who didn't give her name, asked if you were in. And when I told her you weren't, she wanted to know where you were… — Yes, sure. Your lawyer said he couldn't keep his appoint­ment and he would call you later. The lady asked if she could find you at home and… — Yes, Richard Johnson called and asked if he could find you, I told him you would be back today. And I told the lady the same. I hope you don't mind. — She just thanked me.
