Johnny:  Hi? Oh Jack! I´m at the airport taking my suitcase. What? Oh yes, I have it. I´m so nervous and afraid…maybe the police…or maybe…who knows? But I will try to catch the flight and enter in it with it Excuse me! I´m going to take the suitcase because there is a girl with the same suitcase and I don´t want mistakes. I will call you later.

Sophie: Sorry, I think this is my suitcase.

Agent Smith: Ok sir, time is over. I need to open your suitcase. So please proceed to open it.

Johnny: I have a problem with a girl, maybe this suitcase is not mine.

Agent Smith: Yeah I know all of these stories…I am going to open it. Oh my god… Is this your suitcase?

Johnny: Yes of course.

Johnny (calls): Jack, It´s Johnny again…I have good and bad news. I have a lot of girl things for our girlfriends…that´s good. The other news are that I lost the bomb…but unfortunately …I don´t know where…

Narrator: Sophie waited at the claim belt for her suitcase and goes towards the exit.

Sophie (thinking on herself): This baggage it’s too heavy. There is something strange…Let’s see what I put in that’s so heavy.. Oh my God! But this is not my suitcase! There is a bomb inside.. There should have been an exchange with the guy with the red cap…! I have to leave it before it’s too late… I’ll bring it to the lost and found office!

Narrator: Sophie goes towards the lost and found office trying to leave the suitcase there. The secretary makes her a lot of questions.

Sophie (anxiously): Good morning! I found this suitcase. I don’t know what it’s inside because it’s closed. But it is not my baggage, I think there has been an exchange and that somebody brought mine..

Secretary: Ok. Please calm down! Can you tell me where did you find it? And when?

Sophie: I bring it from the claim belt just few minutes ago. It looks like my luggage but it can not be this!

Secretary: But why do you say it’s too heavy? What is there inside?

Sophie: I don't know! I didn’t open it! I only carried it and I felt it is too heavy for the things I put in.

Secretary: What did you put in your luggage? What did you bring?

Sophie: I only brought dresses and make up and..an hair straightener. A pink one! And, for sure, heels! I’m a girl!

Secretary: I need your ID card, please. How was your luggage? Did it have any particularity?

Sophie: No. It is the same as this one. Same shape and same color! Maybe a little bit newer. It was brand new!

Narrator: The secretary writes all what the girl said typing on the computer keyboard and registers her personal data. Then takes the luggage and puts a tag on it and keeps it away.

Secretary: Ok. You can go now. We will call you back in case the police find your luggage.

Sophie: Thank you. Goodbye.

Narrator:  Johnny runs quickly to the lost and found office hoping to find the suitcase there. He sees the long queue and thinks that he doesn´t want to miss this important flight. He tries to hurry up.

Johnny: Excuse me, excuse me... I am a bit in a rush, I really need to get to the desk now!

Narrator: Finally Johnny gets to the desk and the irritated secretary starts to ask him the same questions.

Secretary: Where did you find this bag? So your bag is lost too? What is inside your bag?

Narrator: Suddenly Johnny can see his own suitcase and he stops listening to the questions the woman is asking. He jumps over the desk and tries to grab it thinking that he would still have time to catch the flight. He gets the suitcase but at the same time the bomb explodes.
