Robert: Hello!
Miss Hansen: Hello! How can I help you ?
Robert: I'm looking for a job.
Miss Hansen: No problem! Come here and sit down. So, what is your name ?
Robert: I'm Robbert Higgins, H,I,G...
Miss Hansen: No it's not necessary.
Robert: And you, what is your name ?
Miss Hansen: It's none of your business. How old are you ?
Robert: You didn't want to tell me your name, so, I don't want to give my age.
Miss Hansen: Ok...(pfff). Could you at least introduce yourself ?
Robert: I think it's possible. I'm single, espacially for you, (puts his hand on her, she slaps it), I'm very strong, (chest out), I can speak Spanish, English, German, and French: I love you, Te quiero, Ich liebe dich...
Miss Hansen: Oh excellent! Have you got a wife?
Robert: Oh, she is dead, but now I live for you.
Miss Hansen: You are not so young.
Robert: I'm 70 years old, but in my head, I'm 20.
Miss Hansen: What would you like to be ?
Robert: It's not easy to say, I want to be a strip-teaser. (Clerk is shocked.) Would you like a demonstration ?
Miss Hansen: No no no, I'm shocked. When are you free ?
Robert: All the night... if it's possible with you.
Miss Hansen: No I'm married.
Robert: Ok, I understand. You don't want me as a husband. You haven't got any capacity to help people.
Miss Hansen: Yes, I've some, for the young people, but not for you, old boy!
Robert: Bye!
