E

The departure is from Montreal.a

T21

THF

It’s from Montreal, well that’s it. I’d go see ah… either (coughs) I’d go to the bus terminal and I’d get information from them. Maybe they would know. And after that, I would go from Villedor1 to Montreal by bus. And from Montreal to the bus terminal in Montreal, well there at Longueuil up to… I’d get information there for ah… which bus I need to take for ah Toronto.

T22

E

Hum hum.

T23

THF

So, that’s it.

T24

E

So, if you wanted to give them to me today, because I I’d like to have them today if possible. (THF makes a face). Is there something that you could do?a

T25

THF

Ah… No idea. I never took the bus before, so no idea.

T26

E

That’s good, you don’t own a car. (Both laugh).b

T27

THF

(Looks at E, looks forward and down). But... I have no idea, the busses (lifts a hand) don’t come by here, so ah... I don’t know their schedules. But... Let’s say to get them; it would really have to be... (lifts his brows) I’d have to go in the city to get information about this. For that. Either that or I imagine they have little... pamphlets for ah... all the destinations, and the times, and all of that. But... (Shakes his head and speaks more softly) apart from that, I have no idea. I could not get them get them right now... even... That’s it.

T28

E

Let’s say you need them. Is there something else that you could think of that you could do to try to get them?a

T29

THF

Ah…(10 s. silence). No idea. I could maybe go look on the Internet, but I don’t know if they have this on Internet… bus schedules. I don’t think so. Apart from that, I have no idea. I could not really get them here at this time. I’d really need to get information at the terminal. (softly). That’s it. Apart from that, ah…. (shakes his head) I see no other solution. Well, none that comes to mind there (unintelligible). (8 s. silence, shakes his head, eyes looking down, and lifts his brows). No really no. (20 s. silence, looks out the window, turns towards E and shakes his head).

T30

E

Shall I give you a few more minutes to think about it?c

T31

THF

Ha... (embarrassed laughter, crosses his arms while smiling) I really have no idea really, even. I would need to get information at a bus terminal there. That’s really ah... I see... It’s the only solution that I see possible there.
