POLICEMAN: |
Quiet, please. |
|
|
POLICEMAN: |
May I have your attention? Quiet, please. |
|
|
MAN 1: |
Who are you? |
|
|
JENNIFER: |
Are you the police? We've had burglars! |
|
|
POLICEMAN: |
Yes, we're the police. I'm Detective Hansen. Those two men and
that woman are going to look around the office. I want to ask you
some questions. |
|
|
JENNIFER: |
We have never been burglarized before. |
|
|
POLICEMAN: |
Unfortunately, we've seen many burglaries. |
|
|
MAN 1: |
In offices? |
|
|
POLICEMAN: |
In offices, homes, stores. Everywhere. I've been investigating
burglaries for ten years. |
|
|
JENNIFER: |
We might have been killed. |
|
|
POLICEMAN: |
I
don't think so. Burglars don't want to hurt or kill anyone. They
come at night or on the weekend. |
|
|
MAN 1: |
Sometimes we work at night. |
|
|
JENNIFER: |
Or on Saturday. |
|
|
POLICEMAN: |
I
know. It can be a problem. Then people can get hurt. |
|
|
WOMAN: |
And look at the mess. |
|
|
MAN 2: |
They threw everything all together. |
|
|
WOMAN: |
They put all the papers and boxes and books here. This is my
coffee cup. |
|
|
JENNIFER: |
And this is my basket. |
|
|
MAN 1: |
It's a mess. |
|
|
POLICEMAN: |
Whose cup is this? |
|
|
MAN 1: |
It's mine. |
|
|
POLICEMAN: |
Whose papers are these? |
|
|
JENNIFER: |
Let me see. They're mine. |
|
|
WOMAN: |
Those books are mine. |
|
|
MAN 1: |
This is my pen. It has my name on it. |
|
|
MARTIN: |
Excuse me. I found this briefcase in the stairway. |
|
|
POLICEMAN: |
Who are you? |
|
|
MARTIN: |
I'm Martin Learner. |
|
|
POLICEMAN: |
Do you work in this office? |
|
|
MARTIN: |
No. I'm looking for Miss Jennifer Donnelly. What's going on?
|
|
|
JENNIFER: |
We've had a burglar. |
|
|
WOMAN: |
Last night. They took my computer. |
|
|
JENNIFER: |
I'm Jennifer Donnelly. We had an appointment, didn't we? |
|
|
MARTIN: |
Yes, at nine o'clock. I'm sorry I'm late. |
|
|
JENNIFER: |
Don't worry. Look at this mess. |
|
|
MARTIN: |
I
can come back later. |
|
|
JENNIFER: |
That's all right. We can talk in my office. |
|
|
MARTIN: |
OK. |
|
|
POLICEMAN: |
OK, everyone. Go to work. Go to your offices. I want to talk to
you one by one. |
|
|
JENNIFER: |
Come in Mr. Learner. This is my office. |
