Read, translate and learn the dialogues by heart.

A)

- Well, how did you enjoy the play?

- Oh, enormously! I thought the production was really brilliant, and so was the acting.

- If Mark Dorrel hadn’t been ill, it would have been even better. They say he’s wonderful in the part of the inspector.

- But his understudy was very good too, particularly in the last act. Of course the plot was rather absurd …

- It usually happens in detective plays.

- Take the wife, for instance. She didn’t behave like a normal human being at all. If she had only owned up to her husband, he would have settled the whole business in no time.

- But she was supposed to be a dumb blonde. And if she hadn’t been, there wouldn’t have been a plot, would there?

- And you know, there wouldn’t have been a second murder if the inspector hadn’t told everybody about his plans.

- But then the audience would have had to go home at the end of the first act.

- Then take the episode with the revolver. If he had had any sense, he would have told his wife about the gun instead of trying to hide it.

- It’s a pity you didn’t write the play. If you had, you would have made a much better job of it. The wife would have confessed to her husband, he would have told the inspector, and there wouldn’t have been any corpses. A much better play altogether. Not a thriller, of course…

B)

- What films are on this week? Are there any worth seeing?

- “Romeo and Juliet” is on. I saw it at our local cinema the other day. Everybody says it's very good.

- As a matter of fact, I prefer seeing ballet performed at the theatre especially if the plot and the mu­sic are familiar.

- I don't quite agree with you. Sometimes I find that ballet is much more expressive on the screen.

- Do you? Then what's your opinion of the screen version of "Romeo and Juliet"?

- I think it's wonderful from beginning to end. I enjoyed every minute of it. The cast is very well chosen and the dancing's excellent.

- Well, I must go and see it for myself since you praise it so highly.

- You certainly must, I am sure it will make you change your mind about ballet films.

- We'll see. Well, then I'll be looking for­ward to having a good talk with you about it.
