1Good morning, ma'am, and welcome to "Australia's Moving Experience"!
2How can I help you?
3Well, I... I hope you can help me. I'm so up in the air right now...
4Just calm down, now.
5Let me guess: you're moving and it has you a little confused.
6That's it exactly.
7You see, I'm relocating to the United States next month
8and I'm having a hard time getting organised.
9Here, fill out your name and address, and let me ask you a few questions.
10Oh, what should I call you?
11My name is Jane, Jane Bond.
12OK, Jane, first of all, what's your work phone number?
13In case I have any questions about things.
14My work phone is 94635550.
15But please try not to call me too often there.
16My boss hates personal calls.
17So does mine, ma'am, so does mine.
18And what address should we ship your things to?
19My new company is letting me stay temporarily
20at 509 Clark House,
21that's C-L-A-R-K,
221137 University Drive in Seattle.
23Seattle? Beautiful city, I hear.
24Mountains right beside the ocean, almost.
25Cooler than Australia, too.
26OK, and when should we come pack your things?
27Ah... I guess that would be on Monday, March 11th.
28Do you want any help with an after-packing clean-up?
29We do that for a small additional charge.
30Yes, that would be helpful.
31I promised the landlord I'd give her the keys back by 5 pm on Thursday, the 14th.
32Great, we'll just schedule the clean-up for that day.
33That way, the place will smell clean and there'll be no dust.
34Well, you do think of everything!
35Oh, how much is this going to cost?
36Here is a list of our basic prices.
37Oh dear, this seems rather expensive!
38Yes ma'am, but you're paying for the best.
39We're careful and we're fast.
40Like we say, the only thing we break are speed records getting you moved.
41Well... maybe that's so...
42Oh, I nearly forgot to tell you.
43I don't want my furniture shipped with me.
44I won't be looking for an apartment till after I arrive in America.
45Would it be possible to put my furniture in storage here for a month,
46then have it sent along later?
47Of course, we do that all the time.
48A couple of other things.
49Here at "A Moving Experience", we try to pack your things logically.
50We don't just throw stuff in boxes.
51Do you have any special requests?
52You know, things you want packed in some special place,
53so you know where to find them?
54Like what?
55Oh, I don't know... Things like dishes maybe.
56Not to be rude, but you look like a lady who likes to eat.
57Ahhh! Yes, I need my dishes and things where I can find them quickly.
58Great. We'll put those dishes and cutlery in what we call the emergency pack.
59Can you think of anything else?
60Ummm, I do have an antique tea kettle my great-grandmother gave my mother.
61I wouldn't want to lose that.
62So I guess you'd better put that in storage with the furniture.
63Grandma's tea kettle with the furniture, got it!
64Say, how about things like your alarm clock?
65You don't want to miss your plane on the big day, right?
66Well, you certainly think of everything!
67Yes, that's right.
68I'll also need my alarm clock where I can find it.
69Fine, we'll put that in your personal package.
70And of course, we'll give you a list of where we pack everything.
71So, all you'll have to do on Thursday, the 14th, is grab your luggage on your way out the door.
72Um, I couldn't help noticing the new CD player you're carrying.
73Is that a Samsung?
74Why? Yes, it is.
75One of their best.
76Cost me nearly a hundred dollars, it did!
77Do you want to take special care of it?
78I mean it's brand new.
79Take care of it, but nothing special.
80You can just put it in storage with the furniture.
81That looks like everything we need here.
82I guess you're all set.
83That was certainly quick.
84Thank you, young man.
85This has been a most moving experience!
