LESSON 25
Machines – they keep going wrong


Hugh: Sorry, can you help me? I think the ticket machine isn’t working properly.

Emma: Oh, I’m sorry to hear that, sir. It keeps going wrong, I’m afraid.

Hugh: I put the money in and I didn’t get a ticket and I can’t get my money back.

Emma: Look, if I give you this form to fill in...

Hugh: Yeah, no... sorry... just to stop you before you go any further... I mean, the money’s stuck, I need the ticket, my train’s coming in a minute. I don’t need a form, I need a ticket.

Emma: Yeah. I appreciate that, sir, but the system is that... I’m afraid for the moment you’ll have to buy another ticket... er... because if the money is stuck in the machine, I can’t physically get it out.

Hugh: Yeah, I understand that... but can I have my money back... now?

Emma: You, unfortunately, can’t have your money back this minute...

Hugh: ...but I don’t have enough money to buy another ticket, and I need to get on the train. The only money I have is now stuck in that machine... Look, I know, I know this isn’t your fault, but... is there someone else I can speak to, please? I’d like to speak to the manager, please.
