You Cannot Undress Here

We are flying above the clouds. I do not feel well. Bring me some barley-sugar. A glass of water, please. Bring me some coffee (brandy). What is that river? We shall land very soon. Put out your cigarettes.

Now we are abroad. Where is the customs-house? Porter, here is my luggage. This is not mine. Have you anything to declare? No, I have nothing to declare. I have cigars and spirits. You will have to pay duty on that. Open this suitcase. What is this box? That is for my personal use.

Tell the chambermaid to get my room ready. I am expecting someone. If anyone asks for me, please tell him (her) to wait. Has anyone asked for me? Please send him (her) at once. Are you a chambermaid? Bring me some hot water please. I want to have a bath. Please close (open) the window. The sheets on this bed are damp.

Can you give me change for the telephone, please? Who is speaking? I cannot hear you. Speak louder, please. I cannot understand you. I want to put a call through to London. You have given me the wrong number.

Which is the way to the beach? Go straight on. Turn to the right (left). Cross the road and take the first on the right. This way. That way. I am lost.

Someone has fallen in the water. I am feeling very ill. I have a pain in… Please, send for a doctor. Show me your tongue. I cannot eat. My stomach is upset. I have a temperature. I feel giddy. I cannot sleep. I cannot swim very well. You cannot undress here. Be careful, the current is strong.
