Emily: So, Clara…Sorry I didn’t have the… thing on record before, so I interviewed you, but it didn’t actually record it. I know you said a lot, but I just thought I’d ask you the same questions again. How was your morning?

Clara: Noh-wh (points to kitchen).

E: Oh, are you waiting for me to get you some more sultanas?

C: (Silence)

E: What did you just have for breakfast?

C: Induh. (points to empty bowl)

E: Ahh. Did you enjoy it?

C: I did. (Pause) Ohn-luh.

E: And, what can you see this morning?

C: Lim dey-yuh.

E: What’s outside?

C: (Breath out) (Pause) (Breath out) Bahduh tzeetch-tzitch.

E: Really?

C: Mmm-moar.

E: Oh, you’d still like some more sultanas. I will get them in a moment. Do you have a favourite thing?

C: In tzee-tjon.

E: Do you have a favourite thing to do?

C: In tzeetch-tja.

E: Before I go and get your sultanas – is there anything else you’d like to tell me?

C: Norh. (more emphatically and with greater volume) Mmoar.

E: Just more? That’s all you’re interested in?

C: Mmoar.

E: Okay.
