华尔街中级英语Lesson 41

1. So is that all that happened in Trinidad, Carter?
2. It cost us thousands of dollars to send you there.
3. so that you could speak to Hugo Peters about the view over the island.
4. Well, sir, I did get that information about the flight to Sydney.
5. Which was false, of course
6. What?
7. Temple never flew to Sydney.  He’s still in Trinidad.
8. How do you know, sir?
9. How do I know?  Just look around this room, Carter.
10. I’ve got eight people working twenty-four hours a day on this suitcase.  Do you realize that?
11. That’s how important it is to catch Temple, Peters. Mr. P and the rest of them.  And all you ever do is talk to them.
12. You never actually arrest anyone, do you?  You’re supposed to be a policeman,  Carter, not a social worker!
13. Well,  I did arrest Temple, at least.
14. You didn’t exactly have to be Sherlock Holmes to do that;
15. The man was carrying twenty kilos of cocaine¹ through Customs at the time.
16. And he’s escaped from prison since then,  anyway.
17. Sorry, sir.
18. I’m going to give you just one more chance, Carter.  Go back to Trinidad,
19. and this time don’t come back without Temple and Peters.  And as for this “Mr. P”; well,
20. this is you chance to show what a serious professional policeman can do!  Do you understand?
21. Thank you,  sir
22. So don’t just stand around, Carter, get moving!
23. Goodbye, sir
24. Bloody² man!
25. How the bloody hell³ does he bloody expect men to bloody arrest all the bloody criminals in the bloody world?
