He says he was sleepwalking. Inspector Sweeney, tells Diane a couple of jokes. Look in a dictionary the meaning of words you don’t know. Sweeney: Ah, Mrs Edwards, have you finished your interview with the sleeping beauty? Diane: Yes, that’ll be all for today Inspector Sweeney? Sweeney: Tell me, does he still claim to have been sleepwalking? Diane: Yes, my client maintains his innocence. Sweeney: I wouldn’t believe a word of it if I were you. He already has a criminal record for theft. Diane: Well he may be telling the truth. The world can be a very strange place at times. Sweeney: Yes, I know what you mean! I’ve seen all sorts of strange things since I started working here. Last week a man came in here with a penguin and said that he’d found a penguin in the park! Now I was very busy so I told him to take the penguin to the zoo! The next day I was patrolling the park and I saw the same man holding hands with the penguin. So I asked him what he was doing and why he hadn’t taken the penguin to the zoo. And he told me that he had taken the penguin to the zoo and now he was taking it to the cinema!

TURISMO Y HOSTELERÍA. NIVEL AVANZADO. UNIDAD 9 Diane: You are joking, aren’t you? Sweeney: Yes, of course I’m joking! Lord, you lawyers are so serious sometimes! But hey I’ll tell you something else that really did happen to me. I stopped a car one night because it had jumped a red light. Now the driver was obviously a bit drunk and he even had a Heineken beer label stuck to his forehead! So I asked him if he’d been drinking and he said no, he’d only had a coca cola. So then, of course, I asked him why he had this Heineken label stuck to his forehead! Ha, Ha... And you know what he told me? Diane: What? Sweeney: He told me that he was an alcoholic. He said that he was trying to give up drinking and that the doctor had given him this drinking patch to help him! Diane: You are joking, aren’t you? Sweeney: No, it’s true! Honestly! A similar thing happened to me a few years ago. I was working... Diane: No, I’m sorry, it’s dinner time and my family, they’re waiting for me and I really have to go. Erm, we’ll talk about it next time, when I see you? Okay? Sweeney: No problem Mrs Edwards! You go and have a bite to eat with your family. I’m sure I’ll see you soon!
