In the lift on Friday afternoon
Sam What’s happening? What was that?
Carl We aren’t moving.
Dana Oh dear. What time is it? I don’t have much time ...
Billie It’s about one o’clock.
Sam Oh no – I don’t believe it! I get stressed in small spaces. I don’t like lifts.
Alfie Don’t worry. Is there an alarm?
Sam Here it is.
Billie Someone’s coming. Hello? We’re in here!
Alfie Hello! The lift isn’t working.
Voice Yes, we know. We’re looking for someone to fix it. Don’t worry. Stay calm.
Billie Oh well... let’s sit down. It’ll be more comfortable.
Dana Good idea.
Five minutes later
Billie My name’s Billie. I’m visiting my sister. She lives in this building. How about you?
Dana I’m Dana. I’m a student and I do voluntary work. In fact, I was visiting Mrs Peters when this happened!
Sam And I’m Sam. Nice to meet you. This is my brother Alfie.
Alfie Hi. Hey, what’s your name?
Carl Me?
Alfie Yes. What’s your name?
Carl Why do you want to know?
Alfie Urn ... well... it’s just that this is Billie, and this is Dana ... and Sam ... and ... er... I’m Alfie!
Carl So you know everybody’s name? Lucky you! I’m not telling you mine.
Billie Oh dear! You’re not very sociable! Never mind. So, what are you doing here, Alfie? Do you live here?
Alfie No, I’ve got to pass a piano exam next week. I was racticing with a friend. We study together every Friday. Sam met me half an hour ago, and now we’re going home for lunch.
Sam We’re having a special lunch today – our mum wrote a novel and they’re giving her a prize, so we’re celebrating!
Billie Oh, congratulations! I was collecting some letters from my sister’s flat this morning. We swapped flats a year ago, so I call round each week.
Sam Why did you swap flats?
Billie Well, I think we both wanted a change.
I didn’t like the city, and she didn’t like the country.
Dana And are you happy now?
Billie Yes, I think we are. I’m lucky, because my sister is a very generous person, and the flat I live in now is bigger than the one she lives in. But she’s fine about it – she’s very easy-going! How about you?
Dana Well, I was visiting my grandma’s friend today. She doesn’t have many visitors.
I brought her some books and read to her for about an hour. It wasn’t long enough, though. Next time I want to stay longer, or she won’t think I’m very caring!
Alfie Oh, I see. What are you studying?
Dana Well, actually, I’m studying advertising!
Sam Oh, I got a certificate in advertising last year! I can lend you my notes. What’s your phone number?
A few minutes later
Alfie You’re very quiet.
Carl I don’t like people I don’t know.
Sam Oh, come on. Tell us! What were you doing when this happened?
Carl You don’t want to know.
Billie Well, no, not really! But we’re just passing the time. Invent something, if you want.
Carl Hm ... well, if you must know ... I was running away!
Dana Really? Was somebody following you? Are you feeling depressed?
Carl No. I was feeling OK until the lift stopped. And now I’m standing in a broken lift, wasting time, listening to you! And there are people waiting for me ...
Alfie Oh, sorry!
Sam People are waiting for us, too, you know!
Carl The people waiting for me are more important.
Billie Why are you so confident? Do you think you’re better than us?
Alfie I suppose you’re famous, or rich, or something! Who’s waiting for you?
Carl The police.
Dana The police?
Carl Yes. I was robbing a flat just now. I’m a thief!
