Listen to the first dialogue between Jerry and Mr. Sherwin and arrange the following sentences in the correct order of the discussion.
Jerry.
(1) Could I speak to you for a few minutes, Mr. Sherwin?
(2) Uh, well, it's rather urgent. And it won't take long.
(3) It's a personal matter. Uh, you see, my wife is ill and has to go into hospital.
(4) Because ... because, we have a baby and there's nobody to look after her while she's in hospital.
(5) No, no. My daughter.
(6) But that's what I'm trying to explain. I'd like to stay at home for a few days.
(7) To look after my daughter, of course.
(8) No, no! It's my wife who's going to hospital. Not my daughter!
Mr. Sherwin.
(a) Sorry to hear that. But why do you want to talk to me about it?
(b) But why?
(c) Who? Your wife?
(d) I'm very busy at the moment. Can't it wait until tomorrow?
(e) Really? I thought you said it was your daughter. You're not explaining this very well.
(f) I thought you said she was going to hospital. They'll look after her there, won't they?
(g) Oh, all right, then. What is it?
(h) Oh, I see. But I still don't understand what all this has to do with me.
