M: Of course, it is true to say that there are certain elements in the world who are... er... resorting to firearms.
W: The organized professional criminals?
M:(6)The organized professional criminals, this sort of people. Well, of course, one takes one’s chances which you don’t think about, you know?
W: But your impression is that England is not a violent society.
M:(7)Well, I don’t think we are a violent people. You see, I think as a nation, if I can put it that way, we are...er...we love compromise, you know?
W: Umm.
M: Everything we do is a compromise and I think in that...er...because of what I think probably we are not so violent.
W: Have you faced a man with a weapon for instance?
M: I haven’t faced a man with a weapon.(8)I have had an occasion where I had a man he has...er... locked himself into a house and he wouldn’t come out and he was threatening people with all sorts of things.
W: What did you do in that particular case?
M:(9)Well, you just go and sit down and have a chat with him. You talk to him.

W: Understanding?
M: Understanding. Once you do that then you have this...
W: You mean you have to get his trust first?
M: I think so.
W: This is what you did on this particular occasion?

M: And this is it and of course, everything works out quite well.(10)You have got to be patient.
