Woman: Excuse me... excuse me. Sorry, ... do you speak English?
Man: No I don't, sorry.
Woman: My car's broken down and I wondered if you could tell me where to find a garage.
Man: Well, you know, that's wasted on me. I don't understand what you're saying.
Woman: You don't speak any English at all?
Man: Not a word. No. It's one of those things really... I wish I'd paid more attention in school... but… Excuse me, excuse me... sorry. Do you speak any English?
Man 2: English? No. What's the problem?
Man: I don't know I can't understand her.
Woman: Hi! My car's broken down and I need to find a garage.
Man 2: No, I'm sorry. I didn't understand that at all...
Woman: All right, well... thanks.
Man: I tell you what, if you go down that way, about half a mile, there's a village. There might be somebody there that speaks English.
Woman: [She says in German: I speak a little German. Do you speak German?]
Man: Deutch, nein. Spreckenzie Deutch?
Man 2: Deutch, nein. [He speaks fluent German...]
Man: I'm sorry we couldn't be more help.
Man 2: Yeah, sorry about that. Hey, you never know... next time you're over, maybe we'll have learned a bit of English.
Man: [in German} or German!
Woman: Thanks anyway...
Man: I can speak English
Man 2: So can I!
