12. The Butler Did It!
– A ,crime? A‛gain? ‛Where?
– In the ‛library, Holmes. The ‛silverware’s gone!
– ‛Ah, 'notice how it 'always 'happens in the ‛library, Watson! 'Who was ‛present?
– `Yours ,truly, Sir ,James, 'Lady ,Dunn, the ,judge, 'Colonel ,Stockton, the ˇbanker, the ˇdoctor, the ˇactress, the `French ,chef, the ˇbutler…
– 'Say 'no →more, Watson! The →butler ‛did it!
– I ‛see. You’re a `genius, ,Holmes, but `still…
– It’s ele‛mentary, my dear Watson. →Actually, the ,butler | is 'not a 'butler at ‛all!
– →You | 'don’t `say!
– I 'recognized him 'right a‛way. The “‛butler” | is the ‛brilliant, but ‛evil | Pro'fessor 'Marti‛farti – the ‛mastermind behind ↑every 'crime in the ‛world! It was ‛he | who 'stole the ‛silverware.
– You 'mean Pro'fessor 'Mori‛arti, Holmes. Mori,arti. 'Not 'Marti‛farti.
– 'Marti,farti, Mori,arti. Wha‛tever. A'nother 'heinous 'crime is ‛solved, →Watson. ‛Now, `give me the ,violin – I 'want to ‛play…
– ‛Oh, I a‛dore that man!
Asking for Trouble
– You 'want 'coffee or ‛tea?
– I’m ‛fine, ‛thank you.
– 'You’ve been 'sitting at the com‛puter | for ↑two ‛hours.
'I 'didn’t 'see you 'have ,breakfast | or 'take a `shower for that ,matter.
– 'I’ve been ‛chatting. I’ve 'found this 'new ,chat room | and 'there’s this ,chap…
– It’s 'not `healthy, you know. You ‛sit there | 'staring at the ,screen | and ,talking to yourself.
You 'never 'even 'combed your `hair. You 'look like a `madman.
– →Oh, you e‛xaggerate! I 'don’t 'look like a ˇmadman! It’s →just that…
– 'Go 'take a ‛shower |`right ,now | and 'have 'something to ‛eat!
– 'Oh ‛really…
– 'Do it ,now | or you 'won’t 'know what ‛hit you, buddy! 'Are you 'asking for ‛trouble?
– `All ,right, I’ll ,go | but I’ll be 'eating without an ‛appetite!
– 'Just 'shut up and ‛go! 'Don’t 'try my 'patience 'any ‛longer…
A House
– 'What a 'gorgeous ‛sunset! 'Just 'look at 'that ‛view! It’s `breathtaking!
–‛Thank you. 'We 'like it ‛too.
– `Like it? 'That’s 'what I 'call a ‛serious understatement! I’m 'absolutely `loving it!
– ‛Thank you. It’s 'always 'nice to ‛hear.
– 'Have you `bought the ,house?
– ‛No, we could 'never have a‛fforded it. 'Not ‛these days. My 'parents ‛left it to me.
– 'Lucky ‛you. It’s ‛such a beautiful place. And 'so ‛peaceful.
– `Yes, it `is. And 'down ‛there, we 'even have a 'private ‛beach.
– You’ve 'got a ’river?
– `No, it’s a ,lake. 'Look 'over ‛there – we have a ,boat | and a 'private ‛mooring.
– `That beauty is ,your boat? 'I’m gonna ‛die… 'By the ‛way, 'what ‛lake is it?
– It’s 'Lake ,Green. And, of ‛course, it’s 'full of ‛trout… 'Do you ‛like fishing?
– I ‛love it.
– We 'also have 'two →horses, a →pony, and a ‛donkey. 'Can you 'ride a ’horse?
– ‛Yes, I ‛can.
– 'How about a 'ride to'morrow `morning?
– 'I’m 'so ex'cited I can 'hardly ‛wait!
– ‛Look, the 'first ‛star!
– “'Twinkle, 'twinkle 'little →star…”
– “'How I 'wonder 'what you ‛are…”
What’s The Difference?
– Good ,morning, Jim! 'Can you 'help me with the com'puter a,gain?
– ‛Uh, ‛sure, but 'those 'chaps 'never 'brought it ‛back…
– `Yes, they ,did. It’s 'sitting on my `desk!
– 'No ‛way! They 'couldn’t have 'got ‛past me | without my ‛seeing them.
– But I’m ‛telling you – it’s 'right ‛there. I’ve 'just ‛seen it.
– Oh, ‛may,be, you’ve 'seen a 'ghost or ‛something…
– 'Are you 'going to ‛help | or 'should I 'ask 'somebody ‛else?
– Ah 'well… 'let’s ,go…
– 'Here it `is!
– `Where?
– 'Right `here – in `front of you!
– I’m 'not ,blind. I 'told you they 'never 'brought it 'back from the ‛shop. It’s 'not ‛here.
– If 'you’re 'making some 'kind of ‛joke, it’s 'not ‛funny. 'What’s ‛this in your opinion!?
– It’s 'only a ‛monitor.
– A ‛monitor, a com‛puter… 'What’s the `difference? 'Just 'help me 'turn it ‛on – I’ve 'got `work to do!
– 'Oh, ‛Good Lord!
Avocados
– 'Anything ,else?
– O‛kay… 'let me 'see those avo‛cados | in the ‛back. 'Are they `ripe?
– 'Not ‛really. They’re a 'bit ‛hard. 'What do you ‛want them for? A guaca,mole or a ‛salad?
They’re 'just ‛right for a salad…
–‛Neither. I 'eat them ‛straight | with some 'salt and 'black ‛pepper. My ‛roommate | 'taught me 'that in ‛college.
–'Just like ‛that, ,uh?
– ‛Yep. And with some 'nice ‛bread. 'French ba‛guette | would 'just 'do ‛fine.
–'How do you ‛do that? You 'make →an 'open ,sandwich | or ‛what?
– `No, you 'cut it 'open with a ,knife, 'take out the ,core, 'salt and ,pepper it | and 'eat it with a ‛tea spoon. Very ‛simple | but 'very de‛licious.
– ‛Hmm… I should `try it. You 'got me ‛curious.
– You 'won’t re‛gret it. ‛Trust me. 'You’ll get 'hooked 'just like ‛me.
– `Oh. O‛kay. 'Thank you for your ‛recipe!
– You’re ‛welcome.
Sandwich
– The 'roast beef `sandwich, ,please.
– 'Half or ‛full?
– ‛Half, please.
– 'What 'kind of ‛bread?
– 'What d’you ‛have?
– ,Wheat, ,rye, ,ciabatta, ,French…
– `French, I ,think. ‛Yes, ‛that one – it 'looks ‛good.
– 'What 'kind of ‛cheese would you like?
– 'Make it ‛Swiss.
– To,mato, ,lettuce, ,pickles, ,onions?
– ‛Yes, ‛everything. `Hold ,on. 'Do you 'have alf‛alfa sprouts?
– 'Let me ‛check… 'yes, we `do.
– 'Use alf‛alfa then, in'stead of the ‛lettuce, please.
– `O,K. 'Mayonnaise or ‛mustard?
– 'Both 'mayonnaise and `mustard, ,please. 'And 'black ‛pepper.
– ,That’s it?
– →That’s it.
– →Next!
What’s Up?
– →Hey, 'what’s `up, ,mate?
– 'Not `much, ,mate. 'Got my'self a 'new com‛puter. 'Have a `look.
– ‛Wow! 'That’s 'fancy ‛stuff! A 'real 'mean ma‛chine! A 'dual 'core 'processor and ,all!
– It’s 'special de'signed for ‛gaming. It’s a ‛powerhouse. It’s 'got the 'latest 'everything and ‛more.
'Millions of 'real 'brilliant ‛gadgets.
– `Cool, ,man. 'Where did you 'get the ‛money? 'Rob a ,bank? It 'costs at the 'very 'least 'ten ‛grand.
– 'Fifteen ‛K | in a 'store near ‛you. But for ,me, it was ‛free.
– 'No ‛way, mate! Or, 'maybe, 'Bill 'Gates 'turned 'out to be your 'long lost ‛uncle | and 'gave it to 'you as a `gift? “‛Luke, 'I’m your ‛father! 'Here’s some 'small ‛change for you…”
– 'Not ‛really. But, the 'Force was ‛with me | and this 'young ‛Jedi | 'got 'hired as a ‛game tester.
– A ,what?
– A 'game ‛tester. They 'pay me to 'test their com‛puter games.
– 'That’s ‛loony, mate! They 'pay you to ’play? 'No `way, ,mate!
– ‛Way! And, they 'gave me this com‛puter. I’m sup'posed to be 'giving them ‛feedback | on the ‛games they develop. There may be 'bugs in the ‛software, and they 'pay 'testers like 'me to `find them.
– 'Does it 'pay ,well?
– It 'ain’t ‛bad | for 'just 'sitting a'round and ‛playing. I 'used to 'do it for 'free ˇanyway…
– 'May the `Force be with you, ,mate!
19. Beam Me Up, Scotty!
– 'Looks 'like our 'buddy `Steve got ,rich. 'Probably 'won the ‛lottery or something. I 'saw him 'drive a‛round | in a 'red Lambor`ghini the other ,day. It 'must be 'worth at `least half a ,mil.
– ‛Yeah, I ‛know. I 'talked to him ‛yesterday | and 'even had a `ride in that rocket of his.
– ‛So, 'what’s his `story?
– 'You 'won’t be‛lieve it.
– ‛Try me.
– O,K. You 'know that our ‛Stevie | 'never in his 'life had a ‛job.
'So, he 'sits a'round all 'day in his ‛underwear | 'watching ` “Star Trek” | and 'browsing the ‛paper. About a ‛week ago | he 'goes through the ‛Auto Trader | and he 'sees that `ad. A `Lambor,ghini for a 'hundred ‛pounds. And 'being as 'stupid as he ,is | he 'just 'calls the `number. The 'chap on the 'other side ‛says “‛Yeah. 'Come ,over | and 'bring the `money”. 'Stevie 'says to him,self “'What the `heck, it’s `only a ten minute ,drive, 'what am I 'gonna `lose?” You ,with me so far?
– 'Yes, I ‛am. 'Go ,on.
– 'Let’s have a `beer ,first. I had a 'tough ‛day. 'Want a ,beer?
– ‛Sure. 'Beam me ‛up, Scotty!
20. Live Long and Prosper!
– 'Thanks for the `beer, ,man. 'Go 'on with the `story, ,will you?
– 'So, you 'like it so ‛far, ,uh?
– You ‛bet I do! The sus'pense is ‛killing me. I’m on my ‛toes | 'waiting for the `punch ,line!
– All ‛right then, it 'gets 'even `better. 'Our 'Captain 'Kirk ‛gets there; the 'chap 'gives him the 'owner’s ,title | and the ‛keys, and 'off our 'Stevie ,goes | in his 'new 'Lambor`ghini.
– ‛No, you 'must be ‛kidding.
– I 'kid you `not, ,man. The ‛story, ap‛parently, is that the 'chap was in the 'middle of a 'very 'ugly di‛vorce I ‛mean | ‛ugly. 'Ugly as they can ‛get. 'He and his 'ex-,wife | 'fought over that 'Lambor,ghini | for ‛years. ‛Finally, the 'judge ‛rules | that the 'chap must 'sell the ,car | and 'give the 'money to his `ex.
– 'Oh, `no!
– Oh, `yes, my ,man! 'Oh, ‛yes! So, the 'chap 'tells the ,judge, 'very ‛quietly, ,mind you,
“‛Yes, your honor! Of ‛course, your honor!”
He 'sells his 'car to our ,friend | for the 'one 'hundred `pounds | and 'sends the 'check to his `ex.
The 'curtain ‛falls. 'End of ‛story.
– 'My, oh 'my, oh ‛my! 'Looks like the 'stupid ,ones | have 'all the 'luck in the ‛world!
– 'Let’s 'drink to our 'lucky 'Captain ,Steve | and his 'new ‛spaceship!
– 'Live 'long and ‛prosper!
What Do You Think?
– 'Have 'you 'seen the 'American 'presidential de‛bate last night? It was 'quite a ˇshow.
– I’m 'sorry to 'say I ‛have.
– You 'don’t 'seem to be 'very im‛pressed.
– Im'pressed I ‛was. By their in'credible stu‛pidity! The Re'publican 'candidate 'kept 'talking about '“nu-killer” ‛weapons. He 'can’t 'even 'say `“nuclear”. I 'don’t be‛lieve he went to Harvard. 'Probably 'slept 'all the 'way ‛through it…
– ,Well, 'brains are 'not his ‛strong side. I 'give you ‛that. 'What about the ‛other chap? The ‛Democrat.
– The ‛Democrat, `right! He’s 'got 'more 'money in ‛his pocket | than 'Bill 'Gates and 'Donald 'Trump to`gether. The 'other `day, they 'showed his ‛ranch | in Cali‛fornia | and it was the 'size of 'New `Zealand. And he “'stands for the ‛poor”. ‛Yeah, ‛right…
– I →see. 'What about ‛our new Prime Minister, then? 'What do you 'think of `him?
– 'Well, his ‛suit looks OK. His 'haircut’s ,perfect. His 'teeth ,sparkle. 'What 'else do we ‛need? He’s a ‛darling!
– You 'seem to be in a 'very 'critical 'mood to`day, my ,friend.
– 'Well, you’re ‛right. To'day I’m a 'bit ‛grouchy. But it’s 'all a `game | and you `know it.
– 'Yes, in'deed I ‛do, my friend. But 'sometimes this 'game is 'very 'interesting to ‛watch…
The Magic Word
– 'My 'car ‛died on me. 'Just 'round the ,corner.
– ‛Obviously, you 'need a ‛new one. 'Yours is a 'piece of `junk.
– It’s `not a piece of ,junk. It’s a 'vintage ‛classic. It’s a 'Bentley ‛sixty eight | with 'all the o'riginal ‛parts.
– ,All?
– →Well, ‛almost all. ‛Sure she .needs some .repairing, but 'all in ‛all, she’s in ‛fine shape.
– 'Fine shape, ‛right. 'Then 'my 'wheelchair-bound ‛grandmother is in 'fine shape, ‛too. 'What are you 'going to `do, if 'next 'time it 'dies on you in a ‛fast lane?
– 'Well, I 'don’t ‛take fast lanes. She’s 'not 'that ‛fast…
– 'Is 'that sup'posed to be ‛funny? I’m 'not ‛laughing, you know. It’s 'pretty `serious.
'You can `kill yourself.
– I’m ‛not going to kill myself. I’ll 'change the ,battery, the ,plugs, and the ‛fuel filter | and she’s 'going to be 'just like ‛new.
– ‛Fine, 'suit your‛self.
– 'O‛K…
– “O'K” ‛what?
– 'Can I 'borrow your ,car | for a 'couple of ,days?
– ,And?
– '“And” `what?
– The 'magic ,word.
– ,Please…
Abracadabra
– ‛Harry, ‛Harry, ‛Harry, ‛Harry, you 'have the 'right ‛haircut, the 'right ‛scar, the 'right ‛looks.
You 'even have a ‛wand. But, you 'do not ,have…
– ’Sir?
– You 'still 'do 'not 'know how to ‛say…
– ‛What, sir?
– You 'cannot pro'nounce the ‛word…
– 'Yes, I `can, I `can!
– 'Do not inte‛rrupt me, ‛Harry! You’re 'pushing me to the ‛limit!
Just 'shut your ,mouth | and ‛sit there! 'I’m 'two 'hundred 'years ‛old,
I have a `very bad ,temper | and I can ‛smack you, if you 'do it a`gain! You 'get my ’drift?
– ‛Yes, sir! I ‛do, sir!
Abracadabra
– O‛K, ‛now, as 'I was 'saying before I was 'so `rudely inte,rrupted, ‛you, Harry, can'not 'properly pro'nounce the 'word “'abraca`dabra”. You 'want to →try it | 'once a,gain, Harry?
– ‛Yes, Professor ‛Doubledork!
– ‛Do it then.
– 'Abraca‛labra… 'abracama‛cabra… 'abracasha‛mabra… →abra…
– 'Get out of my ‛face, `you, 'little ,twit! ‛Out, ‛out!
'How do you in'tend to de'feat the 'all-‛powerful | 'Lord ‛Ugliwart,
if you 'cannot 'say the 'simple 'word “→ablaca… →avraca…” 'Oh, 'never ‛mind!
'Go and ‛study, Harry! ‛Study! ‛Shame on you! 'No des'sert for you to`night, ,Harry!
Vanity of Vanities
'Vanity of ‛vanities, 'all is ‛vanity.
'One gene'ration ‛goes, and a'nother gene'ration ‛comes; but the 'earth re'mains fo‛rever.
The 'sun 'also ‛rises, and the 'sun 'goes ‛down, and 'hurries to its 'place ‛where it rises.
The 'wind 'goes to'wards the ‛south, and 'turns a'round to the ‛north.
It 'turns a'round con‛tinually | as it ‛goes, and the 'wind re'turns a'gain to its ‛courses.
'All the 'rivers 'run into the ‛sea, 'yet the 'sea is ‛not full.
To the 'place 'where the ‛rivers flow, 'there they 'flow a‛gain.
'All 'things are 'full of 'weariness beyond ‛uttering. 'That which ‛has been | is 'that which ‛shall be;
and 'that which ‛has been done | is 'that which ‛shall be done;
and there is 'no 'new ‛thing | 'under the ‛sun...
Суета сует – всё суета! Что пользы человеку от всех трудов его, которыми трудится он под солнцем?Род проходит, и род приходит, а земля пребывает вовеки. Восходит солнце, и заходит солнце, и спешит к месту своему, где оно восходит. Идет ветер к югу, и переходит к северу, кружится, кружится на ходу своем, и возвращается ветер на круги свои.Все реки текут в море, но море не переполняется: к тому месту, откуда реки текут, они возвращаются, чтобы опять течь. Всё тщетно и невыразимо словами;
Что было, то и будет; и что делалось, то и будет делаться, и нет ничего нового под солнцем.
He Who Increases Knowledge
…'All is 'vanity and 'chasing after ‛wind…
I ‛said to myself, "Be‛hold, I have ob'tained for my'self 'great ‛wisdom | above 'all who were be'fore me in Je‛rusalem. ‛Yes, my 'heart has had 'great ex'perience of 'wisdom and ‛knowledge." I ap'plied my 'heart to 'know ‛wisdom, and to 'know 'madness and ‛folly. I per'ceived that this ‛also | was a 'chasing after ‛wind.
For in 'much ‛wisdom | is 'much ‛grief; and 'he who in'creases ‛knowledge | in'creases ‛sorrow.
… Все есть суета и томление духа … Говорил я себе: вот, я возвеличился и приобрел мудрости больше всех, которые были прежде меня над Иерусалимом, и сердце мое видело много мудрости и знания.И предал я сердце мое тому, чтобы познать мудрость и познать безумие и глупость: узнал, что и это - томление духа; потому что во многой мудрости много скорби; и кто умножает познания, умножает печаль.
