Inside the Ministry of Security

Rose Ivor!

Ivor Good morning, Rose.

Rose Where have you been?

Ivor If I were you, I wouldn't ask. You know it's a government secret ... and that I'd have to kill you, if you knew where I'd been!

Rose Oh, but you're allowed to tell me!

Z Ivor! What time did you get here? Rose, why wasn't I told that Ivor was here? Please come into my office, Ivor. Could you get us some tea, Rose?

Rose Yes, of course. Would you like some biscuits, too?

Z Yes, please. So, Ivor. Have you had a good holiday? Did you enjoy your free time? You don't relax very often, do you? That's not very healthy!

Ivor Oh, well ... I'd relax more if there wasn't so much to do in the world.

Z Oh, dear, you sound so depressed! Cheer up! We must fight terrorism, of course, and find out what's happening here and in other countries ... and help end wars. That's our job!

Ivor Well, yes. But on holiday this year I had to do all the ironing, clean the house, tidy the rooms, mop the floors ...

Z Really? Why did you have to do all the housework?

Ivor Because my wife's gone away for a month, to see some friends.

Z Well, housework is good exercise, you know! Rose! Where are you?

Rose Sorry for the delay! Tea, Ivor? Biscuits?

Ivor Thank you.

Ivor The nose stud is rather impractical, Jools! Everyone would know it was a camera or a microphone, or something.

Jools Do you think so?

Ivor Well, would I normally wear a nose stud?

Jools Um ... I suppose not. It's not really your style, is it? Er, how about an earring? This is a great earring, look - it's also a camera!

Ivor Hm. I think I'd look like a football player!

Jools Maybe. Jo, what else have we got for Ivor?

Jo Good morning, Ivor!

Ivor Good morning.

Jo I can get you a new watch. Would you like to see it? It's amazing!

Ivor OK.

Jo This is it. It's not just a watch, you know!

Jools Of course not, Jo. Ivor knows that!

Ivor What is it, then? A transmitter? Does it create smoke when I have to escape or hide? Or is it another camera - so I don't have to wear that uncomfortable nose-stud?

Jo Oh no. It's more original than that. It's got an alarm in it and a torch, so you'll be able to see when you're hiding.

Ivor Does it have any lasers?

Jo Er ... no. But it can tell the time!

Ivor Now that's a good idea ...

Meanwhile, in Z's office

Z What do you think of Ivor, Rose?

Rose Oh, I think he's perfect! If he works with me, I definitely won't need a disguise!

Z No? Why not?

Rose Because he looks just like the classic, British secret agent! If he came on a mission with me, everyone would immediately think he was a spy – and then they wouldn't suspect me at all!

Z Do you know, you're absolutely right! You're brilliant, Rose! OK ... go down to Jools now, and get Ivor a wig, with some headphones and a microphone. And don't forget to find him a transmitter tattoo, as well. There's a lot of work to do!

Rose Of course, I'll get them now.

Z Oh, I love my job! It gets better all the time ...

Later that day, at the Department of Disguises

Jools Ivor! Good to see you! How are you?

Ivor Fine, thanks. I'm told you have some things for me. Can I see them?

Jools Yes, of course. We have a beard and a nose stud for you. Look. There's a small microphone hidden in the beard. It's activated when you touch it with your left hand. And the nose stud is really a micro-camera. It's very expensive, so be careful with it, please!

Каково содержание этого английского скетча?

Ответ: The sketch is about a spy named Ivor who visits the Ministry of Security and the Department of Disguises. He is shown different gadgets and disguises by Jools, an inventor. These include a nose stud with a hidden microphone and camera, an earring that is also a camera, and a watch that has an alarm and a torch. In the end, Z, the head of the Ministry, decides that Ivor needs a wig, special headphones with a microphone, and a transmitter tattoo for his missions.

Скетч посвящен шпиону по имени Айвор, который посещает Министерство безопасности и Департамент маскировки. Изобретатель Джулс показывает ему различные гаджеты и маскировки. Среди них: носовой пирсинг со скрытым микрофоном и камерой, серьга, которая также является камерой, и часы с будильником и фонариком. В конце концов, Зет, глава министерства, решает, что Айвору для его миссий понадобятся парик, специальные наушники с микрофоном и татуировка-передатчик.
