Petro is about to get on the plane to Geneva at
the Strasbourg airport, where he meets a certain
Mr. Melville, who says he is a (consultant in
commercial affairs) / (commercial-affairs consultant).

Petro talks to him about many of the details of
his work.  Mr. Melville gives him his card, saying
that, because of his many contacts with various
governments, he probably will be able to send some
new projects his way.

He finally suggests that Petro send him a detailed
plan for an engineering project.  Petro is very happy
about this and says he will send something to
Mr. Melville quite soon.

The hostess:  Passengers having a green boarding
pass will have the first priority for getting on
the plane.  Please give passengers with a green
boarding pass the first priority in getting on the
plane.

Melville:  My pass is green.

Petro:  So is mine.  It seems we will have only
about a thirty-minute wait.

Melville:  Yes.  Do you live in Geneva, or are you
going there only as a tourist?

Petro:  I'm gonna work there.

Melville:  Oh, (okay)/(great)/(that's nice).  What
do you do?

Petro:  I work in urban transport.

Melville:  Really?

Petro:  Yeah.  You know, trains, buses, and so forth.

Melville:  Let me introduce myself.  My name is
John Melville.

Petro:  Petro Minelli.  I'm very happy to meet you.

Melville:  So (you are) / (are you) an engineer?

Petro:  Yes, exactly.  I have both a technical and
a commercial background.

Melville:  Tell me a little about these systems
of transport and about your new company.  I find
that interesting.

Petro:  Okay.  Let's say you have a city of
about/roughly a million inhabitants.  You need a
means of public transport, perhaps underground,
like the metro.  Or perhaps/maybe you want a
suspended/hanging monorail.  Or perhaps/maybe a
surface vehicle, such as a tramway.

Melville:  Interesting.  (Go on.) / (Continue.)

Petro:  You come to see us.  We explain to you the
existing possibilities.  We talk to you.  We submit
to you different solutions.  We then can construct
the transport project for you that you find best
meets your needs.

Melville:  What?  You provide the materiel, the
machines, the locomotives, the trains?

Petro:  Everything.  We build/construct everything
through the companies (in) / (making up) our group.

Melville:  For a price, of course.

Petro:  For a very competitive price.  I think that
you will really find what we can give you the
(cheapest) / (most cost effective) of all
possibilities.

Melville:  That's very interesting, very interesting.
Listen, do you have a card?

Petro:  I don't have my new card.

Melville:  Let me give you mine.  I can't find my
business card right now, but here's my personal
card.  I might be able to ([throw you] / [throw
your way] a project or two) / (throw a project or
two your way).

Petro:  Oh yeah?  What type of work do you do?

Melville:  I'm a consultant for various
companies/enterprises, but I have some really good
contacts with different governmental agencies, and
I think that I may/might/could have need for services
similar to (yours) / (what you offer).

Petro:  Really?  That seems very nice.

Melville:  There is something that you can do for
me.  Let's say that we have a city of a million
inhabitants, for example.  Let's say that we have
such a city in the Middle East.  Can you send me
a letter explaining how you would start/begin, how
you would establish your rates and schedules, how
much time (you would need) / (would be necessary)
for the project, and so forth.  Can you do that?

Petro:  Certainly.  I will give you an idea of the
way we plan our projects and what we can offer our
clients.

Melville:  Perfect.

The hostess:  In a few minutes we will be arriving
in Geneva.  Please put out your cigarettes and attach
your seat belts.

Melville:  Very interesting.  Very interesting indeed.

(Petro has arrived in Geneva.  It seems that his
new job is going to start out very soon.)
