Blake: Hello.
Eliz: Today we’re listening to the end of your first conversation with Mr. Gomez at Federal Motors.
You expected to meet Mr. Stewart Chapman.

Gomez: In the meantime, I’m quite familiar with International Robotics and your products...
...and so I’d like to work with you, if that would be all right.
Blake: Okay, sure. And I understand about Mr. Chapman’s absence.
It’s no problem.
Gomez: Great.
Uh, you must be tired from your trip.
Why don’t we go into the office and sit down and relax for a few minutes...
And we can get some coffee or tea if you’d like.
Blake: Okay, that sounds great.
Gomez: Great.

Saly: 8=jwxoUg-uo2a’[qflerkf]ts;jk’ Eliz da[mjko Blake.
Eliz: Mr. Blake, in our last interview, you said that you were a little disappointed.
Blake: Well, that was because I didn’t realize who Dave Gomez was.
I thought that he was a low-level manager.
I was afraid that Federal Motors wasn’t interested in our robots.
But later I found out that he was a Vice-President of Federal Motors.
Eliz: So you felt better?
Blake: Very much.
Eliz: Mr. Blake, thank you for talking to me today.
Blake: It’s always a pleasure.
Eliz: Let’s take a short break.
