M: Morning, Brenda.
W: Good morning, Mr. Browning.
M: Er, did you, did you put that ad in yesterday?
W: Yes, yesterday afternoon.
M: (19)The ad for a junior sales manager, I mean.
W: Yes, it went into the Standard and the Evening News.
M: That’s good. Erm, well...
W: What kind of person have you got in mind for this job?
M: (20)Oh, well, somebody fairly young, you know, twenty something, like 21, or 25. A man, I think.
W: A man?
M: We really need a man for the position. Yes, I mean, it’s really too demanding. The sort of situations they get into are much too difficult for a young woman to deal with, erm...
W: Erm, what sort of a young man have you got in mind?
M: (20)Oh, you know, a good education, polite, responsible, and easy to get along with. What I don’t want is one of those young men just out of university, with exaggerated ideas of his own importance.
W: Yes, erm, what sort of education are you actually looking for?
M: Well, you know, a couple of A levels. Must have English, of course.
W: Yes, I think you’re asking quite a lot. I mean you’re not really prepared to pay all...
M: No, I’m not prepared to give him a big salary to start with. Nevertheless, (20) I want someone with plenty of ambition, plenty of drive. You know, not looking at the clock all the time.
W: Well sir, I wish you are the best of luck and hope you have some very successful interviews.
M: Well, yes?
W: (21)Because personally I think you’re asking an awful lot.
