Mahmoud standing by, ready totranslate for you.
Jill read .New Voice.“ Caxton had scratched this out and had written in:
.Secretary General Douglasilt“Secretary General: I won’t need him. You say Smith understands English.
Nelson: Well, yes and no, Your Excellency. He knows quite a number ofwords, but, as Mahmoud says, he doesn’t have any cultural context to hangthe words on. It can be rather confusing.
Secretary General: Oh, we’ll get along all right, I’m sure. When I was ayoungster I hitchhiked all through Brazil, without knowing a word ofPortuguese when I started. Now, if you will just introduce us-then leave usalone.
Nelson: Sir,nike foamposites? I think I had better stay with my patient.
Secretary General: Really, Doctor? I’m afraid I must insist,http://www.cheapfoampositesone.us/. Sorry.
Nelson: And I am afraid that I must insist. Sorry, sir. Medicalethics-Secretary General: (interrupting) As a lawyer, I know a little something ofmedical jurisprudence-so don’t give me that .medical ethics“ mumbo-jumbo,really,foamposite for cheap. Did this patient select you?
Nelson: Not exactly, but-Secretary General: Just as I thought. Has he had any opportunity to make achoice of physicians? I doubt it. His present status is that of ward of the state.

Nelson: (long pause, then very stiffly) If you put it that way, Your Excellency, Iwithdraw from the case.
Secretary General: Don’t take it that way, Doctor; I didn’t mean to get yourback hair up,fake rolex watches. I’m not questioning your treatment. But you wouldn’t try to keepa mother from seeing her son alone, now would you? Are you afraid that Imight hurt him?
Nelson: No, but- Secretary General: Then what is your objection? Come now,introduce us and let’s get on with it. This fussing may be upsetting yourpatient.
Nelson: Your Excellency, I will introduce you. Then you must select anotherdoctor for your . . . ward.
