Policeman: Mr. Jonas, do you understand the reason for you being here?

Mr. Jonas: Well, if there was no reason, I would not be here, wouldn’t I?

Policeman: That’s right. Now, it’s time to start. The Halyk bank has been robbed
on the 7th of December at approximately( эпрОксеметли) 4:35 pm. According to
the cameras around the building, you’ve entered the bank at 3:02. Why were you
there?

Mr. Jonas: Why are we doing this? I am not going to answer a single question of
yours!

Policeman: Listen, we have rules here. I would follow them if I were you. I’d
better speak properly if I were in your place. You can’t deny the fact of being in
the bank that day, we have evidence.

Mr. Jonas: Fine, yes, I was there. I was supposed to get a consultation from a bank
employee. I wish I hadn’t gone though!

Policeman: You were there for an hour and a half. According to the statistics, a
consultation only takes 30 minutes. What were you doing for the rest of the time?

Mr. Jonas: If I’d left earlier, I wouldn’t have been able to make a choice.

Policeman: If you stop beating around the bush, It is quicker.

Mr. Jonas: Yes, I remember. “I’d rather talk less”. I wish I was faster. Anyway, I
couldn’t decide if I should have opened a card in that particular bank.

Policeman: If you tell the truth, we’ll go easy on you. Believe me, I wish I wasn’t
here now as well. So, have you noticed anything extraordinary?

Mr. Jonas: If I noticed anything weird, I would tell you earlier! Actually, I have
seen a suspicious man carrying a huge bag around.

Policeman: You must describe him in detail.

Mr. Jonas: You are asking a strange question as if I remember a random guy’s
face. I suggest that you search for him via cameras.

Policeman: If you actually saw him, it wouldn’t be a problem for you. If I’d seen
him on cameras, I wouldn’t be stuck in this room with you. Other witnesses
remember everything as though it happened last night. Think and respond!
Mr. Jonas: God, I wish I was looking at him. I think he had long blond hair, a
mustache, glasses, and a bright green shirt.

Policeman: Wow, I wish I was there to see him.

Mr. Jonas: Officer, don’t you remember? If you talk less, it’s quicker. Haha!

Policeman: Stop this! You are driving me crazy! I wish I hadn’t taken this case. But
for you, I would be at home relaxing!

Mr. Jonas: Ok! I guess, if I finish this early, I will go home sooner.

Policeman: Go on!

Mr. Jonas: It’s time, to tell the truth. You are going to find out anyway. My
colleagues and I lost our jobs due to a crisis. The CEO of the company we used to
work in wanted us to work around the clock, it was not my cup of tea. Yes, we are
the robbers. But for my ex-boss, we would have never done this. I am ready to
pay the penalty. This is the better way.

Policeman: I understand that this is hard for you. I know it because the crisis hits
everyone. But for you, I would have never solved this case so easily. I’ll call for the
guard.(гад)
