UNIT 40 FILM EXTRACTS
Lesson 79 Carve Her Name With Pride (Ⅰ)
Potter: Good morning, my name's Potter. Come in and sit down, won't you ?
Violette: Thank you.
Potter: Well, I suppose you're wondering why I sent for you?
Violette: I expect it's about the pension 2.
Potter: I understand you're partly French, Mrs. Szabo.
Violette: My mother was French.
Potter: And your husband was in the French army.
Violette: Yes. He was killed at El Alamein, six months ago.
Potter: Yes … yes, I know. I'm sorry. You … mm … you speak French yourself, of course ?
Violette: Yes, I was brought up to speak French and English.
Potter: And you're quite an athlete, I'm told. And you're something of a crack shot with a rifle 3.
Violette: Mr. Potter, if it's about the pension, then I really don't see …
Potter: Well, actually, Mrs. Szabo, it's not about the pension.
Violette: But you wrote to me.
Potter: Yes, I know. Ministry 4 of Pensions 5. That's not correct. I belong to quite a different department.
Violette: Well, if it's not about the pension, why am I here ?
Potter: Because I think that you have certain qualifications which might be of great use.
Violette: Qualifications ? What for ?
Potter: The war effort. I must tell you at once, it comes under the heading of “Dangerous Work.”
Violette: Look, I … I really don't think you've got hold of the right person. What kind of work ?
Potter: Well … briefly 6 … we're doing everything we can to make things as difficult for the Germans as we can.
In every way we can. From blowing up their troop trains to … er … putting chalk into their ink.
The French are magnificent 7. Of course. But they have to be organized, and supplied. We need liaison 8 people. It's quite a job.
Violette: Yes, yes, I … I suppose it is.
Potter: One more thing. The Germans don't like what we're doing. They don't like it at all. In certain circumstances, they'll react violently. And brutally 9.
Well now, are you interested ?
Violette: I don't know … I don't know.
Potter: Since your husband died you've rather shut yourself away from everybody, haven't you ? Oh, we have to make some fairly close enquiries before we interview people for this sort of work.
Violette: Oh, yes, I see. Well, I just couldn't seem to face up to things.
Potter: Quite. But you're picking up the threads again now,aren't you ?
Violette: I'm trying to.
Potter: Good. Well, I'd like you to turn this over in your mind.
Violette: I…I…I'm sorry, Mr.Potter, I…I…I really don't think I can be of any use to you.
Potter: I suppose you're thinking about your baby ?
Violette: She's all I have. What if anything happened to me?
Potter: Yes, of course. Well, that's something you must think about.
But, you don't have to make up your mind right away, Why don't you come and see me again in a week's time.
Violette: Yes, yes, yes, all right, if you wish.
Potter: You do realize that you must tell nobody about thismterview…nobody at all. Mot even your parents.
Violette: Yes, of course. Mr. Potter, wouldn't it be possible to find someone else for this job ?
Potter: I don't know. It might be possible. But you see it's taken us a long time to find you. There are so few people with your qualifications.
Oh, just a moment. Don't forget your pass, otherwise you'll be here for ever.
