Man:	Quick, quick! Get a doctor!
Alice:	She’s just gone for a break. What’s the matter?
Man:	I don’t know. It’s my son. He’s stopped breathing.
Alice:	Oh no! Wait a minute, I’ll just phone for the doctor.
Man:	There’s no time. You have to give him mouth to mouth.
Alice:	But I haven’t done it before!
Man:	You haven’t done it before?
Alice:	No, not for real. Wait while I find the phone.
Man:	No! No, you must do it now!
