Another phone conversation with Javier Roig.

"Hello, can I speak to Professor Jonathan Culler please?"

"I'm sorry, he doesn't work in the Dean's office any more. I expect him to come by though. Can I take a message for him."

"No, I have already left a message with professor (unintelligible) in Romance Studies. Is this a romance language you are speaking?"

"Excuse me?"

"Is this a romance language you are speaking?"

"I believe so, yes."

"Thank you very much." (Hangs up)
