Script

Sharon: Hey, Karen, is that you?

Karen: Sharon, wow! I can‘t believe it! Yes, it's me. Gosh, it‘s good to see you! Sharon: You, too! What‘s it been? Something like 20 years?!? Karen: Yeah, I can‘t believe we‘re that old already. Sharon: Life sure has treated well. You look great!

Karen: Thanks you do too! What‘ve you been doing all this time? I remember you couldn‘t wait to marry Jim and start a family.

Sharon: Hah! I never did get married. I was too busy with school and then my job. I don‘t even know what happened to Jim.

Karen: So what do you do?

Sharon: I have my own advertising agency. Karen: Come on, Sharon! You?

Sharon: Really. I majored in marketing in college and afterwards got a job with an advertising agency. I worked my way up, and when I felt I understood the business really well, I left to start my own agency. Karen: Wow, that‘s pretty impressive. No wonder you haven‘t had any time to get married.

Sharon: Yeah. So, anyway, what about you? You were the one who was going to travel the world and do your own thing. You didn‘t want to get stuck being a housewife.

Karen: Hah! You‘re gonna laugh, but I AM a housewife, and a mother of three. Sharon: Oh, come on, Karen, you‘re not serious, are you? What happened to the travel?

Karen: Well, I did travel around Europe for a year with some friends. But then I met Stan, and we got married right away. I helped put him through medical school, and then we had our children. I love being able to focus on my family, and when they leave home, I'm going to start my career—if it's not too late! Sharon: It's never too late

Cesar: But I've seen you fly on a skateboard. It's amazing.

TJ: Yeah, well, things have been goin'good. You'll never believe what the latest is. Cesar: What?

TJ: Nike wants me to do a commercial. They've been calling my agent. Cesar: Wow! I don't believe that.

TJ: You best believe it, my friend. I'm going to get some big bucks for doing it, too. Cesar: You're going big time now. I can't believe I even know you. TJ: Great, huh? I‘m gonna be on TV!

Cesar: Yeah! Pretty soon you‘re not going to have time for someone like me. TJ: No way, Cesar. You know my friends are important. Cesar: Yeah, but now you‘re hitting the big time. Everything‘s gonna change.

TJ: You know I‘m just a regular guy. Cesar: No, you‘re not.

TJ: Yes, I am. I‘ve got parents and a bratty sister, just like you. I took piano lessons when I was little, and I go to church on Sundays. I like watching cartoons, and my mom makes me take out the trash. And I worry about not having a girlfriend. See? I‘m just like everybody else.

Cesar: I don‘t think so. Nobody else I know is doing a Nike commercial. You‘re got it made, TJ. TJ: Yeah, but the problem is my parents. Cesar: What‘s up?

TJ: To really make it big , I‘ve got to go on the pro tour ,and the only way I can go pro is to drop out of school ,but they don‘t want me to. They say I‘m ruining my future. But I may not get another chance — two years from now may be too late. Cesar: So what‘re you gonna for?

TJ: I‘ve got to go for it. I‘m at the top of my game right now ,and that‘s what counts. Cesar: Yeah, you gotta do what you gotta do.

Script

Kara: Steve, remember the older couple that I rent my apartment from? Steve: Yeah?

Kara: Well, the woman has been coming up to see how I'm doing. At first I was really appreciative, you know, it's nice to feel that people are concerned when you live alone. Steve: Yeah, it is nice.

Kara: Now, though, she comes every day… sometimes more than once! She always brings me homemade soup…

Steve: Homemade soup! That is so great! I wish someone cooked for me.

Kara: Sure, having some home-cooked food is a treat, but she sits and watches me to make sure I eat it! Last time, I had just eaten dinner when she came over and insisted that I finish a whole bowl. She wouldn't leave until I did!

Steve: Oh, c'mon, you could have it much worse.

Kara: And, every time I go out she leans out the door to ask where I am going. It's like I'm 17 again!

Steve: Would you rather have loud neighbors who kept you up all night?

Kara: Well, it's not only her. It's the old man, too. He is such a flirt, and I've always thought it was cute. Ya' know, an old man ,80 years old , still flirting. Steve: Uh huh…

Kara: So, today when I got home, he came up to me, gave me a hug… Steve: Yeah, so what…?

Kara: And then, he kissed me on the cheek…!

Steve: Oh no! Well, maybe you remind him of his granddaughter.

Kara: Well, yeah, but don't you think it's kind of weird for him to kiss me?



Script

Susie: Rachel, what‘s wrong?

Rachel: Susie, I thought you came to see me! Isn‘t that more important than shopping? Susie: Oh c‘mon, Rachel. Shopping is so bonding!

Rachel: All right, I‘ll take you to the stores. What are you looking fly?

Susie: Well, I want a handbag from Prada, and maybe one of their black leather dresses… Rachel: Oh no…

Susie: …a couple of skirts from Donna Karan, you know, the ones that are really fitted, a pair of jeans…

Rachel: Whoa! How much money do you have, anyway?

Susie: Oh, Rachel, you know I save up to come to New York every year to go shopping. Now that you‘re studying here, I want to go with you. So what are you going to get?

Rachel: Are you kidding, Susie? I‘ve got two words for you: ―student budget.‖ I can‘t afford to buy any clothing!

Susie: Well, you‘re just a jeans and T-shirt person, aren‘t you? I am going to enjoy myself no matter how much it costs. I‘m on holiday. Look, Rachel, I‘ll buy you something, a new blouse , or skirt, whatever you want.

Rachel: Well, I don‘t want anyone to buy me something I can‘t afford myself.

Susie: Oh, don‘t worry about that. And, there is no need to thank me. It‘s the least I can do since you‘ll be cooking dinner every night while I‘m here. Rachel: Dinner? What are you talking about?



Script

Richard: Hello? Irma: Hi, it‘s me.

Richard: Oh, hi! How was the job interview? Irma: Well, he hired me.

Richard: You got the job? The management job? Oh,

Irma: No, I didn‘t say I got the management job. He hired me for a job in customer service, selling hired me for a job in customer service, selling tours to Asia.

Richard: Just customer service? But what about the management position? You were perfect for that job. You can supervise people. You understand the business.

Irma: I know. I showed him my resume. I told him that I worked in travel management for five years back home, and that I even got a degree in Business Management here in the U.S. Richard: Oh, I can‘t believe that. You‘re perfectly qualified for that management position. Irma: That‘s what I thought. It‘s not fair! Why did I bother going to college here?

Richard: Wait, wait a minute. Did he know that you were applying for the management position. Irma: Of course. And you know what he said? Richard: What?

Irma: He said that everyone really expects the manager to be someone from the local community. But the person they hired is from New York. And she‘s a woman, too, so it‘s not because I am a woman. So that means the problem is my English. Richard: But your English is fantastic!

Irma: But I‘m not a native speaker, and I guess that‘s what they want for the management job.
