Richard and Victor are in Washington. They're talking about sightseeing.

– It's been a long day! Sightseeing is exciting but tiring.

– Didn't you use Tour mobile?

– I sure did. But walking was the best part of it.

– You must be tired.

– What should I do tomorrow?

– Tomorrow ... Getting around by metro may be best for you.

– You don't call it the «subway»?

– Washingtonians call it the Metrorail, the Metro for short.

– Okay. Metro sounds familiar. Just like the Petersburg metro.

– When did it open?

– It was opened not long ago. In 1976.

– I have a map of it in my guidebook.

– Frankly, I have a very busy schedule, Vic. Of course I should join you. But I can't.

– I know, Rich. Can I help you with your work? I'll gladly do it.

– No, thanks. I'll join you as soon as I am free.

– So when you are free, what will we see?

– When I'm free, we'll take Tour mobile.

– But I've already done it?

– We'll see some more places. Since I don't have a car here, we'll take Tour mobile again.

– Is it cheaper than renting a car?

– It sure is. And you don't have to think about parking.

– What's the matter with you? – Why are you looking worried? – What's the matter? – You are so pale. Are you okay? – What makes you look so sad? – Why do you look so worried? – Why are you so nervous? – Did you look everywhere for it? – Did you talk to the boss about your problems? – What's up? – You don't look very happy today. – What worries you?

– I'm worried (about …). – I've got problems. I'm upset by the news from home. – I feel awful. – No, I'm ill. I feel miserable. – I'm nervous. – I'm fed up with seeing strange places. I'm homesick. – I'm in trouble. I've lost my passport. – Yes, I did. I feel desperate. – Yes, but he refuses to help. I'm quite upset. – Oh, nothing much I m simply depressed after the film. – I'm in trouble. – I'm at a loss what to do about the proposal.

– Suppose you could choose where to go? – If you had more money, what would you buy? – Suppose you went shopping without me would you be able to buy so much for so little money? – Suppose you had a choice of countries to visit, where would you go? – What would you do there? – If they asked you what cities you'd like to visit, what would you say? – Suppose they offered you a trip to Philadelphia, would you discuss the possibilities research exchanges there? – Suppose we couldn't give you much money to spend there, would you still like to go? – All right. We'll consider sending you to the States.

– I'd go to Washington and Chicago. – I'd buy a computer for my son and a VCR for my daughter. – Certainly not. If you didn't go with me, I would buy very little. – I'd go to the States. – I'd discuss the joint venture project with Richard's company and see some of the country. – I'd like to see New York and Washington and maybe some smaller places. – If I could go there, I would gladly do that. – If you didn't give me any money at all, I would still like to go.
