Unit 6, page 100, exercise 8, listening.

3
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:17,160
Okay, Mr. Akimura, just a few questions about the koala that was stolen.

4
00:00:17,820 --> 00:00:22,440
I understand that the koala's keeper was found unconscious by a janitor.

5
00:00:23,060 --> 00:00:24,180
What time was this?

6
00:00:24,180 --> 00:00:31,940
About 8 p.m. The laboratory and food preparation area gets cleaned every evening after the animals

7
00:00:31,940 --> 00:00:38,440
have been fed. The janitor was just starting his work when he noticed the keeper lying behind a

8
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,760
table. Had the keeper been hit?

9
00:00:41,420 --> 00:00:47,580
No, there were no marks of any kind on his body. I had him examined by our resident physician.

10
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:51,660
Apparently, he'd been drugged. He's all right now.

11
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:54,160
Have any other animals been stolen?

12
00:00:55,020 --> 00:01:00,280
Well, yes, as a matter of fact. Two sea turtles were taken a couple of weeks ago.

13
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,160
Why weren't we notified immediately?

14
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:09,280
Well, as you may know, we want to expand the zoo, and we need money to do it.

15
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,560
An expansion proposal is being put forward in the upcoming election.

16
00:01:14,140 --> 00:01:20,160
We can't complete the expansion unless our proposal gets a 50% yes vote in the election.

17
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:24,160
But the proposal isn't likely to get approved by the voters.

18
00:01:24,700 --> 00:01:26,860
If they hear that animals are missing.

19
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:32,500
Do you have any idea why these animals were taken? And by whom?

20
00:01:33,140 --> 00:01:38,760
Well, they're very valuable. They could be sold on the black market for a lot of money.

21
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:43,800
We can only imagine that some underworld group is behind this.

22
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:45,760
What about the janitor?

23
00:01:46,620 --> 00:01:47,360
What do you mean?

24
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,960
Well, is he reliable? Has his background been checked?

25
00:01:52,940 --> 00:01:54,020
I'm not totally sure.

26
00:01:54,020 --> 00:01:57,820
He gave us good references when he was interviewed.

27
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:03,280
I presume some checking was done, but I suppose we should look into it.

28
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:08,220
That's all right. I'll get his references checked out when I go back to the office.

29
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,780
We'll be in touch, Mr. Akimura.
