A dialogue between two friends about robbery
Nadia : Oh!
Khalid : What fools we were!
Nadia : To think of it! All my old silver! It meant so much to me.
Khalid : And my new car. To think that he simply drove off with everything in my car. That's what hurts me most.
Nadia : What's so terrible too is the fools we've made of ourselves.
Khalid : I hardly dare call the police. They'll just laugh at us.
Nadia : I'll never get over it. Oh, Khalid it was all so unnecessary. That man! How could he do this to us after we'd put him up?
Khalid : And his story didn't even hold together. I feel such an idiot.
Nadia : And I'm sure we'll never get all our things back. They're so clever these criminals. What's the point of collecting beautiful things for other people to steal?
Khalid : I only wish it were this time yesterday. Think how happy we were. Now this.
Nadia : Things always go wrong.
Khalid : Perhaps we ought to get dressed and have breakfast. We'd feel better.
Nadia : I don't feel like breakfast. I don't fell like anything. Why are we so unlucky? It's as if there were a jinx on us.
Khalid : Perhaps I'd better ring the police.....
Nadia : Yes. Of course. But what good will it do? That man's miles away from here by now. In our car.
Khalid : I've never seen such a mess.
Nadia : All our precious possessions. I just don't care any more.
Khalid : Yes, but we ought to do something.
Nadia : When I think of it! That man!
Khalid : If I could lay my hands on him!
Nadia : I'd roast him over a slow fire. I'd.....
Visitor : Good morning. You'd what?
Nadia : You!
Visitor : What's the matter?
Khalid : What are you doing here?
Visitor : Good Good! What's happened?
Khalid : What are you doing here?
Visitor : How do you mean? .....You've had a robbery.
Khalid : That's right.
Visitor : Oh, I see! And you thought I'd done it!
