‘OK, let’s begin with some easy questions. Er, Maria? What day is it today?’
            ‘Thuesday.’
            ‘Thuesday?’
            ‘Yes, Thuesday.’
            ‘Do you mean Tuesday or Thursday, Maria?’
            ‘Yes.’
            ‘Yes, what?’
            ‘Yes, please?’
            ‘Can anybody help Maria?’
            ‘Yes.’
            ‘Go on then, Pablo.’
            ‘What’s the question?’
            ‘What day is it today, Pablo?’
            ‘Is Thuesday, no?’
            ‘That’s what Maria said, Pablo.’
            ‘Yes.’
            ‘OK, everyone, repeat after me—’
