Dialogue 8

WHERE ARE WE?

Laurance-Where on earth are we?

Soony- Judging by all the traffic, I'd say we're near the

heart of the downtown area.

Laurance-What did I do wrong? Did I take a wrong turn?

Soony- I'm not sure, but I think that you turned left

when you should have turned right.

Laurance-Well, now the,problem is how to get back onto

the main highway.

Soony- Well, if I may offer a suggestion ... Why don't

you stop and ask a policeman?

Laurance-Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think I see one up there in the

next block.
