Lesson 3_Permission_Listening Check B

Gilles:Claire, you look troubled. Is everything okay? Are the dogs back?

Claire:Hmm? Oh, no. No, see, I had this really awkward conversation with the police officer the other day about Roshan's tools. I couldn't tell her anything. I mean, I had no idea who was on-site at the campground and who wasn't.

Gilles:I guess that explains the new sign out front, the one with all the rules?

Claire:Yeah. And I'm trying to think of a way to get campers to sign in and out, but so far they're just driving right past the stop sign. I mean, how do you get people to care about the rules?

Gilles:They'll care if something gets stolen.

Claire:No kidding. So what brings you here? I thought you were gone for the day.

Gilles:I was, but I forgot my phone.

Claire:Oh, you left it here in the office. Actually, you got a call. It was from a blocked number.

Gilles:Oh? Yeah?

Claire:Yeah. Turns out it was some guy called Del Jacobs. Wanted his band to be registered for the folk festival. Let me see here. I have the registration form here somewhere … yeah, here it is. Del Jacobs. Paid for and now posted on SpaceBook!

Gilles:Let me see that.

Claire:Is everything okay? I think I filled in all the information correctly. See?

Gilles:Claire, what did you do? Oh, this is bad news. This is really bad.

Claire:What's wrong?

Gilles:Claire! Claire. Del Jacobs has been banned from every folk festival from here to Halifax. He's destroyed property in the millions of dollars. He should never have been allowed to register for this festival.

Claire:Oh, I didn't know.

Gilles:It's not your job to know. It's mine. And now I have to figure out a way to undo this mess.

Claire:Is it that big a deal? I mean, can we just call him and say, oops, there's no room in the schedule?

Gilles:Oops? No, we can't. Del Jacobs is a very dangerous man with some dangerous friends.

Claire:Oh.

Gilles:Yeah, oh. Claire, you can't just … decide things. This was not your business. You've really crossed a line here.

Claire:Can't we call the police?

Gilles:And say what? We can't accuse a man of a crime he hasn't committed yet. Think about it.

Claire:Gilles, I …

Gilles:Just do your job, and I'll do mine. Don't talk to Del. Don't talk to anyone about this. And do not answer my phone.
