( as if he has discovered som ething for the first tim e) Why, yes! That m ust be i t! H ostess: (hits her husband’s arm) And you put him in the back of the restaurant! Go an see him at one. Owner: ( to H enry) I’m sorry, sir, so sorry, but I cannot change this bank note. H enry: But it’s al I have on m e. O wner: Oh, pl ease, don’t worry, sir. Doesn39。s very knd of you. Owner: Kind, sir? No, it’s kind of you. You must e whenever you want and have whatever you li ke. Just having you sit here i s a great honour! As for wonder if i t i s m ade or brought i n from el sewhere. Al though it i s freshl y coked, it m ust be l ess heal thy than our own l ocal l y grown and cooked Chi nese food. I al so worry about al l those cars bringing people to buy food at McDonal d’s. First, there woul d be petrol fum es(氣體 ), which wil m ake our cl ean air dirty. Second, there’s the probl em of al l those cars that try to park and prevent other cars from m ovi ng qui ckly through our town. I’m sure m any young peopl e woul d be hapy to work for McDonal d’s but wil they be treated fairl y？ In Am erican, McDonal d’s does not al l ow workers’ unions to operate in its restaurants and these are peopl e who speak up for the workers. If, as they say, the workers are happy wi th them , why shoul d they fear som e workers joi ni ng a uni on? So when I consider the fod, the cars and the jobs, I think we shoul d not al l ow McDonal d’s to buil d their restaurant in our town.

On the contrary, in fact. If this is you idea of som e knd of joke, I don’t think it’s very funny. ( H enry stands up to l eave) Now if you’l l excuse m e, I think I’l l be on m y way. Roderick: Pl ease don’t go, Mr Adam s. You m ustn’t think we don’t care about you. Oliver, give him the l etter. O li ver: Yes, the l eter. (gets i t from a desk and gi ves i t to H enry li ke a gi ft ) The l etter. H enry: (taki ng it careful l y) For m e? Roderick: For you. (H enry starts to open it) Oh, no, you m ustn’t open it.

Indeed, sir, I hope you’l l e here whenever you l ike. Henry: Wel l, that39。t know whether I coul d survive until m orning. The next m orning I’d just about given myself up for lsot when I was spotted by a ship. O li ver: And i t was the shi p that brought you to Engl and. H enry: Yes. The fact is that I earned m y passage by worki ng as an unpai d hand, whi ch accounts for m y appearance. I went to the Am erican em bassy to seek hel p, but … ( The brothers sm il e at each other.)
