III. Listening In
Task 1: Dogs aren’t allowed here!
Manager: I’m sorry. Miss, but dogs aren’t allowed in this theater.
Mary:    But I have a ticket for him.
Manager: I’m very sorry, but animals aren’t permitted¹.
Mary:   You don’t understand. This is a special case. My dog is so well trained and so intelligent that he’s almost human.
Manager: I see that you have an exceptional² animal, but…
Mary:   I promise you that if there is any problem we’ll leave the theater immediately. I promise you that this dog isn’t like any other dog you’ve ever seen.
Manager: Well…all right. I’ll let you go in, since the theater is almost empty tonight. But your dog will have to behave himself, or you will have to leave.
Mary:   Thank you very much.
