| Woman | Mura dèan thu rudeigin, feumaidh mi tagsaidh fhaighinn. Tha am plèana agam a’ fàgail aig trì uairean. | If you don’t do something, I’ll have to get a taxi. My plane leaves at three o’ clock. |
| Teàrlach | Och, nach dùin thu do bheul! | Och, won’t you shut your mouth! |
| Seonag | Uill, nam biodh tusa a’ bruidhinn mar siud riumsa, cha bhiodh tu fada còmhla rium. | Well, if you spoke to me like that, you wouldn’t be long with me. |
| Iain | A Sheonag, a ghràidh, cha chanainn càil mar sin riutsa. Agus tha fios agad air an sin. Saoil an tèid againn air cuideachadh a thoirt dhuibh? | Joan, dear, I wouldn’t say anything like that to you. And you know that. I wonder if we can give you help? |
| Teàrlach | Nan cuireadh tu sin air dòigh, bhithinn glè thoilichte. | If you would sort that out, I’d be very happy. |
| Seonag | Càit a bheil an jack? | Where’s the jack? |
| Teàrlach | Anns a’ bhoot, tha mi cinnteach. | In the boot, I’m sure. |
| Seonag | Sin e. Iain, a ghràidh, an cuir thu seo fon chàr? | There it is. John, dear, will you put this under the car? |
| Iain | Cuiridh. | Yes. |
| Seonag | Agus, nan togadh tu an càr, dh’fhaodainn a’ chuibhle ùr a chur air. A-nis Iain, saoil an cuireadh tu a’ chuibhle sin anns a’ bhoot? | And, if you could lift the car, I could put the new wheel on. Now John, would you mind putting that wheel in the boot? |
| Iain | Ceart. | Ok. |
| Teàrlach | Dhèanainn fhìn rudeigin, ach cha d’ rinn mi seo riamh. | I would do something myself, but I’ve never done this. |
| Woman | Cha do rinn. Bidh sinn a’ cur a’ chàir dhan gharaids ma thèid càil ceàrr. | No. We send the car to the garage if anything goes wrong. |
| Seonag | Obh obh, Iain. Seall seo. | Oh dear, John. Look at this. |
| Teàrlach | Dè nì mi a-nis? | What will I do now? |
| Seonag | Nam bithinn nur n-àite, chuirinn fòn chun an AA. | If I were in your place, I’d phone the AA. |
| Woman | A Theàrlaich, am plèana agam! | Charles, my plane! |
| Teàrlach | Och, fan sàmhach. Gheibh thu tagsaidh. Uill, feumaidh mi seo a thoirt dhut co-dhiù, tha mi cinnteach. | Och, be quiet. You’ll get a taxi. Well, I’ll have to give you this anyway, I’m sure. |
| Seonag | Cumaibh sin, a ghràidh. Feumaidh sibh sin airson an tagsaidh. | Keep that, dear. You need that for the taxi. |
| Iain | Nam bithinn nur n-àite, ghabhainn am bus. | If I were in your place, I would take the bus. |
| Teàrlach | Halò, bu toigh leam tagsaidh fhaighinn an-dràsta. | Hello, I’d like a taxi right now. |
