Interviewer (J.C.): You know I really enjoy interviewing applicants for this
management training course. (knock at door) Come in. (Man enters) Ah. Come and
sit down.
Man: Thank you. (he sits)
Interviewer: (stares at him and starts writing) Would you mind just standing up
again for one moment. (stands up) Take a seat.
Man (G.C.): I'm sorry.
Interviewer: Take a seat. (Man does so) Ah! (writes again) Good morning.
Man: Good morning.
Interviewer: Good morning.
Man: Good morning.
Interviewer: (writes) Tell me why did you say 'good morning' when you know
perfectly well that it's afternoon?
Man: Well, well, you said 'good morning'. Ha, ha.
Interviewer: (shakes head) Good afternoon.
Man: Ah, good afternoon.
Interviewer: Oh dear. (writes again) Good evening.
Man: ... Goodbye?
Interviewer: Ha, ha. No. (rings small hand-bell) ... Aren't you going to ask me
why I rang the bell? (rings bell again)
Man: Er why did you ring the bell?
Interviewer: Why do you think I rang the bell? (shouts) Five, four, three, two,
one, zero!
Man: Well, I, I...
Interviewer: Too late! (singing) Goodnight, ding-ding-ding-ding-ding. Goodnight.
Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding.
Man: Um. Oh this is, is the interview for the management training course is it?
Interviewer: (Rings bell) Yes. Yes it is. Goodnight. Ding, ding, ding, ding,
ding, ding, ding, ding.
Man: Oh. Oh dear, I don't think I'm doing very well.
Interviewer: Why do you say that?
Man: Well I don't know.
Interviewer: Do you say it because you didn't know?
Man: Well. I, I, I, I don't know.
Interviewer: Five, four, three, two, one, zero! Right! (makes face and strange
noise)
Man: I'm sorry, I'm confused.
Interviewer: Well why do you think I did that then?
Man: Oh dear we're back to that again. I don't know what to do when you do that.
Interviewer: Well do something. Goodnight. Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding, five, four,
three, two, one... (Man pulls face and makes noise) Good!
Man: Good?
Interviewer: Very good - do it again. (Man pulls face and makes noise) Very good
indeed, quite outstanding. (Interviewer goes to door) Ah right. (calls through
door) Ready now. (four people come in and line up by desk) Right, once more.
(rings bell) Goodnight, ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding.
Man: very cautiously pulls face and makes noise. Interviewer rings bell again.
Suddenly the four men all hold up points cards like diving or skating judges.
Man: What's going on? What's going on?
Interviewer: You've got very good marks.
Man: (hysterically) Well I don't care, I want to know what's going on! I think
you're deliberately trying to humiliate people, and I'm going straight out of
here and I'm going to tell the police exactly what you do to people and I'm
going to make bloody sure that you never do it again. There, what do you think
of that? What do you think of that?
