SCENE 4: Geneva, in the offices of the holding
company: In this scene we get acquainted with Alan
Tanner, who works in the holding-company building.
It is obvious that he and Catherina know each other
very/quite well socially. She asks him how a person
can find an office in Geneva. Alan Tanner
explains that here is no space in the building of
the holding company but that he has arranged for
Catherina (to immediately see) / (to consult
immediately with) an agent who can help her (out).
But before Catherina leaves to see the agent, Alan
invites her to eat dinner with him. Catherina
observes that he hasn't changed (at all) / (in any
way).
Catherina: (Can) / (May) / (Is it [okay] / [all
right] if) I come in, Mr. Tanner?
Tanner: Catherina! Ah! I'm happy to see you.
How are you?
Catherina: Just fine, thanks, Alan. And you?
Tanner: Just fine. What do you think of Geneva?
Catherina: (It has a very agreeable air to it.) /
(It has a very nice atmosphere, I think.)
Tanner: (Did you have) / (Have you had) a nice
trip?
Catherina: Very nice, thanks.
Tanner: And the hotel, do you find it convenient?
Catherina: Oh, yes. It's very nice.
Tanner: And things in Paris, are they going well?
Catherina: Oh, yeah. Things are going fine in
Paris.
Tanner: Ah. We've had some really good times in
Paris, you and I.
Catherina: Yeah, really.
Tanner: Ah, unfortunately, there's no space in
this building.
Catherina: Yeah, I know. I know.
Tanner: All this is stupid. You are only four
people, and everything is so big here. You'd think
that we could accommodate four new people, but this
really isn't possible.
Catherina: Yeah, I understand. In any event, we're
not the same organization. It would possibly be
better/preferable for us not to be in the same
building.
Tannrer: I don't see why not. But in any event,
I have (phoned an agent) / (called up an agent)
/ (called an agent up) who specializes in finding
buildings, and I have arranged a meeting between
you and him. I think/believe it would be better
if you spoke directly with him.
Catherina: Okay, fine. When will the meeting take
place?
Tanner: Now.
Catherina: Now?
Tanner: Yes. The meeting is at nine-thirty.
Catherina: (But it's nine-thirty now.) / (But it
already IS nine-thirty.)
Tanner: I know.
Catherina: So let's go.
Tanner: Wait. Let's finish our coffee first.
We don't have any reason to hurry. And I have some
things to say to you.
Catherina: Oh yeah? About what?
Tanner: About the possibility that you and I
can go out to dinner together this evening.
Catherina: Alan, you haven't changed in any way
(at all).
