(Біля столу митного і паспортного контролю)
A: - Your passport, please. How long are you planning to stay in the country?
B: - Three weeks. Could I prolong my entrance visa in case of necessity?
A: - Sure. The receiving party shall take care of it.
A: - Well, bags on the table & your customs-form, please.
B: - How much do they weigh?
A: - 23 kilos. I’m sorry, but you’ll have to pay an excess luggage charge.
B: - Oh! It’s only three kilos overweight.
A: - Yes, sir… that’s £6. Thank you. Have you anything to declare?
B: - What?
A: - Alcohol, cigarettes, fresh fruit plants?
B: - Uh, no. Only for personal use.
A: - Open your suitcase, please. Any gifts?
B: - Only one bottle of vodka.
A: - All right. It is duty free. As you probably know, it is forbidden to bring more than two bottles of alcohol & 2 blocks of cigarettes to England. And no limitation as to currency. Here is your form.
B: - Thank you.
A: - Not at all. The next, please.
