Section 45.1A Dialogue.KRISTI: Look Annie, Ive got a confession to make. WhenI said I was a journalist, that wasnt actually true.ANNIE: Really? I must say, I did wonder.KRISTI: No, it was just an excuse to meet you, thats all. Ihope you dont mind terribly.ANNIE: It doesnt make any difference to me what you are.I still dont see why youre so interested in me, though.KRISTI: Im interested in your ideas, Annie. I read thatfantastic article of yours in “Earth First”.ANNIE: Which one was that?KRISTI: The one about “Gender and Ecology”.ANNIE: Ah, yes. I was quite pleased with that, I must say.KRISTI: And I thought: “Gosh, Ive got to meet this lady,weve got so much in common, wed have so much to talkabout”.ANNIE: Lets hope so. Tell me then, what do you do, Kristi,if youre not a journalist?KRISTI: Oh, I work as a sort of personal assistant to myfather.ANNIE: To your father?KRISTI: Thats right. I do translations of businessdocuments, and I interpret for him at meetings, and lookafter his correspondence. I hate it though, hes soconservative and right-wing. It goes against everything Ibelieve in.ANNIE: What line of business is your father in?KRISTI: Im not absolutely sure, Annie. Some of the timehe buys and sells antiques, but he has other kinds ofbusiness, too. I suspect that some of its against the law,even. But what can I do? He is my father, after all.ANNIE: You know, its really strange, the way you describehim. He sounds a lot like my father, as a matter of fact. Still,we were talking about your problems not mine.KRISTI: We dont have to. You can tell me whats on yourmind, Annie, if you feel like it.ANNIE: I ought to keep it to myself really, but. oh, I dontknow! Im just so confused at the moment. I thought myfather had died five years ago, and hes suddenly turned upagain, right here in Washdon.KRISTI: Really? Have you seen him, then?ANNIE: Yeah. I had lunch with him the other day. He leftearly, because he thought the police were after him. Oh, itsso horribly embarrassing, apart from anything else. Heseems to want to be close to me, like I was still a little girl;he just wont accept that Ive changed. And hes got thisawful sentimental idea about “the family”. What family?Apart from me, theres just my brother and his horrible wifeJuanita.KRISTI: Isnt she the daughter of that Mexicanbusinessman who was kidnapped? I read about it in thepapers.ANNIE: Thats right. Hes supposed to be worth millions.KRISTI: I wonder who did it?ANNIE: Juanita probably blames me for it.KRISTI: You didnt have anything to do with it, did you?ANNIE: Of course not! Kidnapping just one person ispointless; it doesnt change anything at all. Not that I feelsorry for him; Im sure he deserved it.KRISTI: It was a group of women who kidnapped him,wasnt it?ANNIE: Looks like it. Weve got this American lady calledLauren staying with us who says she knows some of thewomen behind it. Hey, Ive got to be out of my mind tellingyou all this, when I dont even know you! What am I doing?KRISTI: Annie, you can trust me. It does you good to talkto someone who understands how you feel.ANNIE: How do I know you wont go straight to the cops?KRISTI: I promise you I wont. You can depend on me.Look, why dont you go on telling me about your father? Itsounds extraordinary! Why did he disappear for all thattime?ANNIE: I cant tell you, Kristi. I really shouldnt havespoken to you in the first place. Id better go.KRISTI: Oh, very well. Can we meet again sometime?ANNIE: Maybe Ill call you sometime. Ive got yournumber. So long, Kristi.KRISTI: Hello, Richard. Yes, Ive spoken to her; she didnttell me much. Do we have to? Yes, I suppose she mightagree to see me again. But the thing is, I feel awful about it.Its hard to explain, but. Yes, I know I promised you astory. OK, OK, have it your own way. What, speak to herbrother? Theres no point; hes a fool. Anyway, his wifewont even let him look at another woman.MELISSA: Why do you keep staring at me?DAVID: Maybe its because youre nice to look at, Melissa.MELISSA: So are you, David.DAVID: Oh, that was an amazing meal! I love Greek food,and Greek wine, and Greek music.MELISSA: And Greek people?DAVID: Greek people most of all. Theyre so warm.MELISSA: Thats right.DAVID: I had a great vacation in Greece with a girlfriendonce - before I got married.MELISSA: You must come and stay with me sometime.DAVID: Yeah, thats a nice idea.MELISSA: Let me tell you about my dream. Someday Imgoing to buy a villa on one of the Greek islands and Illinvite all my boyfriends to come and stay with me.DAVID: What?MELISSA: Theyll bring their girlfriends, and theirgirlfriends will bring all their boyfriends. And we can all eatand drink wine, and swim in the blue Aegean Sea, and wellall be happy in the sunshine together, and no one will bejealous of anyone.DAVID: How are you going to manage that?MELISSA: David, its ridiculous that people should bejealous of each other! We should be able to love anyone welike, any time we like. If there was more love in the worldthere would be less violence.DAVID: Hmm. It sounds great in theory, but I dont think itwould work out in practice.MELISSA: But thats because people treat each other asobjects, as if they were possessions! We can never ownanother person! Its just not possible.DAVID: Its easy enough for you to say that; youre notmarried.MELISSA: No, of course not! Freedom is more importantto me than security. Without freedom life isnt worth living.DAVID: I suppose not. Mind if I have a bit more wine?MELISSA: Help yourself.DAVID: Look, we seem to be having a very seriousdiscussion, for some reason. Can we change the subject?MELISSA: Sure. Well, at least your wife understands now.DAVID: Understands what?MELISSA: That you need other companionship, as well ashers.DAVID: She doesnt understand anything. Shes just goneaway to Mexico for a while, thats all.MELISSA: Then you must tell her about us as soon as shegets back.DAVID: About us? But. nothings happened yet.MELISSA: Not yet, no. Hey, what about your little girl?DAVID: Oh, Juanitas taken her to Mexico, fortunately.MELISSA: So, you dont need to go home tonight, then?DAVID: No, I dont.MELISSA: Thats convenient, isnt it.?DJ: And that was Keeps Us Apart by Tony Moroni, as hegoes Country and Western.

What a voice that guys got,eh? Just like my wife, in fact: a lovely voice, but not a damnthing to say!BAZ BAXTER: No, but seriously, of course, Im notmarried. Im still open to offers; all sorts of offers!BAZ BAXTER: Enough of that. This, needless to say, isthe Baize Baxter Show, with me, Baize Baxter, and Id likeyou to give a specially warm welcome to my next guest.Shes the author of numerous newspaper and magazinearticles on the subject of terrorism, and of a soon-to-bepublishedbook. Shes been called “The Terror of theTerrorists”. All the way from Germany, Id like to introduceyou to Kristi Schmidt!BAZ BAXTER: Great to have you on the show, Kristi!KRISTI: Thank you. Its nice to be here.BAZ BAXTER: Thats a very smart dress youre wearing.KRISTI: Im glad you like it.BAZ BAXTER: Its low-cut, isnt it? Are you sure you putit on the right way around?BAZ BAXTER: Seriously though, I love your hairstyle,with all those thick black curls. Great! Is it yours, by theway?KRISTI: Yes, of course it is!BAZ BAXTER: Funny, I was certain it was a wig.Anyway, all this has absolutely nothing to do with thereason why youre on the show, which is of course to tell usall about terrorism. So Kristi, youre the expert. Why does ithappen, and what can we do about it, eh?JEAN: Hey, Annie; come and have a look at this!ANNIE: Whats on, Baize Baxter? Jean, Im surprised atyou!JEAN: What about that lady hes talking to?ANNIE: I dont believe it! Thats Kristi!KRISTI: So, one has to try to see the phenomenon ofterrorism in the whole context of contemporary Westernsociety.BAZ BAXTER: Whoa there! Take it easy with the longwords, Kristi; this is a family show. We mustnt get toointellectual for Mr and Mrs Average Idiot, must we?BAZ BAXTER: No, but seriously, Im impressed by yourEnglish. It makes me ashamed of the way I speak thelanguage. Where did you learn English: did your mommahave lots of American soldier friends, or are you just a borntalker?KRISTI: Well, my native language is German, of course.Ive never actually studied English, in fact; Ive just picked itup through traveling, and reading, and through my work,obviously.BAZ BAXTER: Amazing what you can pick up, isnt it? Ofcourse the problem then is, how do you get rid of it?BAZ BAXTER: Anyway, enough of this intellectual stuff;what the audience here, and of course all you gorgeousviewers at home, want, is “human interest”. I believe, Kristicorrect me if Im mistaken that youre close friends with amember of a terrorist gang, who are also into drugsmuggling. How about that eh, folks?KRISTI: Thats not quite accurate. I do have a friend, calledAnnie Peters, whos a member of a group of radicalenvironmentalists, but I wouldnt call her -BAZ BAXTER: Sure, and her father, who pretended to bedead, but in fact is still alive, was the boss of a world-widecocaine-smuggling ring!

Keep up the good work,Kristi!KRISTI: Youre not giving at all an accurate account ofwhat I wrote. What I in fact said was -BAZ BAXTER: But go easy on those long words, knowwhat I mean?BAZ BAXTER: Well, thats all weve got time for thisweek, Im afraid. So, its a huge great thank you from me toall my guests for appearing on the show, and to all youmarvelous people out there. I just loved having you - knowwhat I mean?BAZ BAXTER: Come again next week! Bye-bye for now!ANNIE: Its unbelievable! What a nerve shes got, callingherself my friend, apart from anything else!JEAN: What are you going to do about it?ANNIE: Well, first of all Id better read her article in the“Sunday Post”. Ill go down to the library; they should havea copy of it. Then. well, I know this lady called Carol,whos a lawyer. Ill ask if she thinks I could sue Kristi, ormaybe sue the newspaper as well.JEAN: I can think of simpler and quicker solutions.ANNIE: I know what you mean. Well, Ill go down to thelibrary now. See you later, Jean.HARRY: Hello, Edith. Is he here yet?EDITH: Who do you mean, sir?HARRY: Detective-Sergeant Morris, of course: the onewhos taking over from Bedges.EDITH: No, he hasnt arrived yet. How is poor Mr Bedges,by the way?HARRY: Oh, hes recovering quite quickly. He should beout of the hospital in four or five weeks.EDITH: It was a terrible shame, what happened to him.HARRY: Its part of the job, Edith. If Bedges cant handlesomething like that, he doesnt deserve to be on my team.EDITH: Yes, sir. Oh, by the way, Mr Morris is here now.HARRY: OK, send him in, then.HARRY: Come in!HARRY: Detective-Sergeant Morris?MORRIS: Yes, sir. You wanted to see me, I gather.HARRY: Yes, thats right.

Youll be working directly with Detective-Superintendent Henson, whom I believe you know.MORRIS: Thats correct, sir.HARRY: In fact it was on his personal recommendationthat I chose you for the job.MORRIS: Im very grateful to you both, sir.HARRY: Not at all. So, youll be replacing Detective-Sergeant Bedges, who is recovering in the hospital at themoment.MORRIS: I hope his illness isnt serious, sir.HARRY: Hes got a bad case of food poisoning, I believe.MORRIS: What a shame.HARRY: Now, theres one other thing I need to say beforeyou start working on my team. I want to make it absolutelyclear to you that Im not in any way racially prejudiced.MORRIS: Im glad to hear it, sir.HARRY: Thats right. I dont discriminate on the groundsof gender, race or sexual orientation. As far as Imconcerned, a police officer is a police officer, and it makesno difference if theyre female, or. or.MORRIS: I see.HARRY: What Im trying to say is this: to me, youre justanother police officer, and it makes absolutely no differencethat youre ., that is, the fact that . You see what Imean?MORRIS: Of course, sir. Will that be all for now?HARRY: Yes, yes. Mr Henson is waiting outside to briefyou on your duties. Youre both full-time on the HugoPeters case for the moment, and I want you to pick up whereBedges left off.ROGER: Good afternoon. Ive come to inquire about MrTheo Gusper, who, I believe, died here in most tragiccircumstances the other day. I wish to express my sincerecondolences.RECEPTIONIST: I dont quite follow you, Im afraid, sir.ROGER: Has Mr Guspers funeral already taken place,then? I was very much hoping to attend it, and express mysorrow to his relatives.RECEPTIONIST: You appear to have come to the wrongplace, sir. This is a hotel, not a cemetery.ROGER: Alright, then! Listen s
