– Well it’s about time!

– You know, I’ve always thought a newspaper that only gave good news would be a ______.

– No, that wouldn’t be successful. People are ______ to bad news.

– Well at least the ______ with two sections; in the first half you could have the good news, and in the second half you could have the bad news. So whoever doesn’t want to receive any shocks, would only read the first part.

– And then if you want to get to the ______ stuff you go straight to the second part. What about the ordinary news?

– Well, that would be in the ______ half, and obviously bad news would be in the second part, like: unemployment rises, the States send another aircraft carrier to the Persian Gulf, in India another train derails.

– Then I’ll see what?

– You’ll see how I’ll become fabulously ______.

– Imagine if it worked though!

– Ok, for a 30% share, I’ll give you a good idea right now.

– I’m ______.

– Tomorrow morning we’ll go to my ______ and buy a newspaper. Then, we cut out all the news and we’ll set up a newspaper in two parts, with all the bad news in the second part, to see what it looks like.

– It sounds ______ interesting. You know, your 30% is already paying off dividends. Ok, I’ll see you tomorrow at your office at 9 o’clock. You’ve got an office?
