Catherina:  Un tal cosa poterea esser multo utile.

su messages.)

Alicia:  Es io, Alicia.  Ubi esseva vos heri durante

SCENE 1:  Strasbourg:  Catherina and Petro are in
Petro's apartment.  They are discussing his plans
for his trip to Geneva.  In Catherina's presence,
Petro listens to the messages on his telephone
answering machine.

We hear a message recorded by Alicia, his secretary,
who reveals to him that she authorized that everything
be taken from his office because of his obligation
to go to Geneva for his work.  She informs Petro
that she will go directly to Geneva to work with
him at the end of her vacation.

Petro does not seem very enthusiastic about his
transfer to Geneva.  He invites Catherina (who finds
the situation a bit funny) to have dinner with him,
but she does not accept the invitation because she
has a lot to do.

Petro:  We'll be arriving soon.  There is my
apartment,
over there.  Let's go.  Come on in.

Catherina:  Thanks.

Petro:  Follow me, please.

Catherina:  This is a very nice room.

Petro:  Yes.  It isn't bad.  Would you like something
to drink?

Catherina:  No.  I'm fine, thanks.  I will be having
to leave before long.  I've got a lot to do.

Petro:  And you're going to Geneva tomorrow.

Catherina:  Yes.

Petro:  And me, I'm going Sunday, and we will see
each other Sunday afternoon or Monday morning.

Catherina:  Yes, exactly.  I could telephone you
shortly after you get to your office.

Petro:  That would be a little early, but ....
That wouldn't bother you in any way?

Catherina:  Not at all.  What is this?

Petro:  A telephone answering machine.

Catherina:  Something like that can be very useful.

Petro:  Yes.  I'm not in my apartment all that often.

(Peter presses a button on the machine to hear his
messages.)

Alicia:  It's me, Alicia.  Where were you yesterday
afternoon?  I called you up three times.

Catherina:  Who's that?

Petro:  Alicia, my secretary.

Catherina:  She isn't here right now?

Petro:  No, she is on vacation.

Alicia:  Finally, you've returned to your apartment.
I've got some news for you.  You're gonna leave
for Geneva very soon.  A letter arrived here from
Paris a week ago.  They wanted to know if you would
be interested in the position in Geneva.  I told
them that you were interested in the job and wrote
them a confirmation letter for you.

Petro:  Thanks a lot!

Alicia:  You're gonna need a secretary in Geneva.
Don't worry.  I'm not gonna abandon you.  I will
be going there to work for you very soon, after
my vacation.

Petro:  She really thinks of everything!

Alicia:  Your boss in Geneva will be a woman,
Catherina
De Sanctis.  She's young ... and very attractive,
it seems to me.

Catherina:  I think your secrtary's very nice!

Petro:  Really?

Alicia:  There's something else:  Marc Reval needs
you office.  Tomorrow they're gonna move out all
your things.  It will be necessary for you to find
another office until the end of the week.  I said
that everything was okay because soon you would
be going to Geneva.

Petro:  That woman's trying to plan my life as if
whe were my mother!

Alicia:  That's everything.  I'm gonna go out to
take in the sun.  You're gonna need me, I know,
but we will be seeing each other very shortly.
I'm gonna send you a post card.

Catherina:  Good.  She's explained to you everything
I wanted to say to you.

Petro:  Yes.

Catherina:  Everything has now been explained.

Petro:  Completely.  Everything is on my answering
machine.

Catherina:  Fine.  I'm now gonna go away.  We don't
have anything to discuss right now, it seems to
me.

Petro:  Yes.  You're right.  Listen.  Where are
you going to eat?  Do you want to go out to eat
with me?

Catherina:  No, thanks.  I don't believe I want
to do that.  I've got many things to do.

Petro:  Fine.  Then we will see each other next
week.

Catherina:  Yes.  That's the way things are.  See
you next week.

Petro:  I'll walk with you out of the building.

Catherina:  No.  Don't do that.  Alicia perhaps
is gonna call you up.  And you weren't here the
last time she called you.
