ピーコック教授の講義中、ジェシカが大きな声を上げました。一体何が起こったのでしょう。
Professor Peacock, allow me to apologize. I didn’t mean to disrupt your lecture.
No, no, I think you actually helped by waking up the students!
It’s so embarrassing. I shouldn’t have reacted like that.
But may I ask, Jessica, what made you scream?
Well, there was a monkey in the window next to you.
A monkey? In Oxford?
Yes, it must have been the one that escaped from the zoo.
Well, I’ll be a monkey’s uncle!
アンジーが司会のトークショーにデスパレート・ラッツのボーカル、ビル・バンガローが出演しています。
…And we’re back with today’s special guest – Bill Bungalow of the Desperate Rats! Welcome to the program.
Thank you, Angie. It’s a pleasure to be here.
Wow, I’m getting goose bumps. I’ve been a huge fan of the Desperate Rats for decades.
Cool. Out of curiosity, which song do you like the most?
That’s a tough question. You have so many great songs. But if I have to choose… “Marlborough Fair.” Yes.
That’s my favorite too!
キャロリンが経営するビーガンラーメン店に、イギリスからの観光客アンドリューがやってきます。
That was certainly the most delicious vegan ramen I’ve ever had.
Really?
Actually, it’s the only vegan ramen I’ve ever had. Very tasty.
Yes, there aren’t too many of these kinds of shops in this town.
I’m glad I found it.
Me too. Would you like a kaedama now? It’s an additional 100 yen, however.
Sorry, what did you say?
Oh, kaedama means “an extra helping of noodles.”
No, thank you. That was plenty for me.
ピーコック教授にロンドン市警のサラ・トムリンソン刑事から以前の窃盗事件の件で電話です。
Hello, Peacock speaking.
Professor Brendan Peacock?
Yes?
This is Detective Sarah Tomlinson with the City of London Police. There has been a development in your case.
You mean the break-in at my office last year?
Yes, sir. We’ve located the stolen artifacts.
Where were they found?
In an apartment in the East End of London, sir.
Who do you think is behind all this?
We have some leads, sir. We’re investigating them right now.
Thank you.

I’ve decided to quit.
Hey, what made you think of doing such a thing? I guess it’s because the boss keeps complaining about your performance.
I’ll see what I can do for you.

So you have quite a crush on Emily, right?
