dying to marry Jana and she’s dying to

marry you so why don’t you just take a

deep breath and calm down pulling an

all-nighter and that is everything okay

emailed it to my professor five minutes

before the deadline well that was close

are you going home now no I have to

hurry to my history class see you later

I’m really in hot water

my history teacher gave us a surprise

quiz and I couldn’t remember anything my

mind went totally blank I didn’t even

want to hand in my quiz because I knew

everything was wrong oh I can’t believe

this I’m going to get an F on a test

that happened to me once but it wasn’t a

surprise quiz I just got the date of the

test wrong so I didn’t study

I took the test cold and didn’t do well

what grade did you get I think I got a C

well at least a C is passing I’m going

to get an F listen Anette you need to

take it easy for all you know you passed

we watch good shows come on Susan it

doesn’t matter what we watch it’s true

kids now all boys four boys I bet they

keep you busy they sure do

the baby is only a month old so jenny is

not working right now and what’s new

with you and Jim believe it or not he’s

home with the kids

you’re kidding no I’m not he talked to

his boss about working at home and it

turned out that his boss thought it was

a good idea I love it because Jim it

does all the shopping and cleaning and

we save money on childcare it sounds too

good to be true

hmm maybe that’s something we should

think about doing down the road I’m sure

Jenny would love that but with four kids

I don’t know if you’d have time to get

any work done good point

yikes it’s after 1:00 I have to go and

spend the rest of the day in meetings

I’m really glad I ran into you Laura

tell Jim I said hi and that I’ll call

you soon so we can all have dinner great

idea and say hi to Jenny and the kids

see you don’t throw it away

recycle hold it Kathy

what in the world are you doing I can’t

believe my eyes what’s the problem well

don’t you recycle how can you throw

glass away Michael

I was only trying to help I know I know

but I’m really surprised Cathy I thought

you cared about the environment and I do

care but there’s no place to recycle

bottles here and I wanted to help clean

up you make me feel so guilty I’m sorry

I did go a little crazy

it’s just that recently I did some

research on pollution and found out that

we’re running out of places to put our

garbage listen you two why don’t we all

go through these bags and take the

bottles out I’ll take them home and

recycle them Olli you don’t have to take

them all why don’t we each take a few

yeah good idea Mike well let’s get

started so we can all go home time to

say goodbye okay we have a few more

people to ask Carmen what are you doing

over the break well my best friend will

be here for two weeks and I’m going to

show her around I can’t wait to see her

well that sounds really nice there’s so

much to do around here I’m sure you’ll

have a great time and Danny what about

you I don’t have anything planned really

well I was going to go back

but it didn’t work out what happened I

didn’t get my tickets early enough and

now the prices are really high that’s

happened to me before to get a good

price you really need to get your ticket

in advance I know but I think I’m better

off staying here anyways so I can work

more on my English Wow that’s music to

my ears

good for you Danny and now May what are

you going to do over the break nothing

much I have to work I have a part-time

job well at least you won’t have any

homework for a while do you have any

plans for the break uh-huh and I’m

really looking forward to it I’m going

to take it easy take walks go to the

movies visit friends read oh wow look at

the time

it’s time to go and I hate to say

goodbye I hope you all got a lot out of

our class and that you’ll keep in touch

have a great break and above all don’t

forget to speak English at a party

what’s eating you

what do you mean I’m fine no you aren’t

come on whatever it is get it off your

chest

well see that woman over there her

name’s Elizabeth I’ve been trying to

find a way to meet her for months and

now here she is but I don’t have the

guts to walk over there

come on bill this is your chance just

give it a shot what do you have to lose

she wouldn’t be caught dead with me why

do you say that oh let’s just skip it

okay I don’t know why I even told you

how do you know her anyway we work in

the same building well I think you

should just bite the bullet go over

there and start a conversation maybe

later

why put it off who knows you two might

hit it off that’ll be the day

well why are you so negative all of the

sudden I’ve never seen you like this

maybe you’re right

I should just take the initiative and

walk over there but what should I say

now you’re talking just introduce

yourself and start talking about the

party or mention that you’ve seen her at

work she’s bound to recognize you too

well

maybe oh you’re probably right if I pass

up this chance I’ll never forgive myself

well here I go

wish me luck

kids behavior in public

yikes what happened I can’t believe it

all of a sudden a kid just ran in front

of that waitress and she almost dropped

her tray what yeah look the parents are

just sitting there while their kids is

totally out of control what I can’t hear

you it’s so noisy in here I said his

parents aren’t paying any attention to

him at all I don’t think they have a

clue that he’s causing trouble well this

is just what we need after going through

all the trouble of getting a babysitter

I thought we came here to eat in peace

for once maybe we should go somewhere

else it’s taking forever to get our food

anyway that’s not a bad idea

uh-oh it’s too late

our foods coming sorry for the wait

that’s okay you’re really busy tonight

I saw what just happened with that kid

you have a pretty dangerous job yeah

unfortunately not all parents keep their

kids under control but I guess that’s

just part of the job

well we’d never put up with that kind of

behavior from our kids I have nothing

against taking kids to restaurants but

the bottom line is that kids need to

learn how to behave especially in public

oh look here comes the manager

I think he’s going to talk to them I

wonder if he’s going to ask them to

leave in class hmm this coffee is really

strong I like it that way so do I all

during my class I was thinking about

coming here and could almost taste the

coffee sounds like it wasn’t too

exciting I was bored to death I’m in

that class only because it’s a

requirement so I just have to stick it

out the problem is the professor doesn’t

know how to spark our interest she just

walks in and lectures there’s no

discussion what a drag don’t people ask

questions

oh yeah once in a blue moon but I always

see an awful lot of people doodling and

I can tell their minds are wandering do

you have any classes like that I only

have one big lecture class world history

and the professor’s the best it’s so

interesting I’m always on the edge of my

seat and when we have discussions the

room is filled with electricity I’m

jealous too bad I already took history

you know one day it dawned on me that I

was lucky to be in her class because I

found myself thinking a lot about what

she said did you ever have a teacher

like that I’d have to think about it I

don’t know you should come with me to

class sometime just to see what I mean

sounds like you’re in love with her

Steve very funny

she could be my grandmother anyway I

guess what it really comes down to is

her enthusiasm for the subject she just

loves history I remember at the

beginning of this semester I was fooling

around a lot and not taking anything in

school very seriously I bombed the first

history class but then I buckled down

because I started really enjoying school

especially her class you’ve really got

me curious about this teacher I think

I’ll take you up on your idea to visit

your class

when does it meet on the streets hello

young man what brings you to this neck

of the woods

actually I was wondering if I could

interview you from my newspaper me about

what well we’re doing a series of

articles on the homeless and I and you

want to know what happened to me what I

live on what it’s like to live from hand

to mouth uh yeah

I do want to know would you be willing

to tell me your story you got about

three hours whatever we need well then

go ahead and sit down

Thanks um let’s see well first I’d like

to ask you no questions just listen you

think I grew up poor don’t you that I

don’t have an education but you’re dead

wrong I have a college degree I worked

for a big company my parents would turn

over in their graves if they could see

me now

but how I said no questions just sit and

listen in the beginning I got up at 5:00

a.m. every day and was at work by 7:00

and I stayed at the office till 8:00 in

the evening thirteen hours that was the

only way I could keep up with all the

work it just never let up I never saw my

family very much because when I got home

I usually went straight to bed well I

guess I was doing a pretty good job

because I kept moving up the ladder

I became a manager and got more money

but I also had to work even more hours

and weekends to you can imagine that my

wife never stopped complaining she told

me I was getting burned out and had no

time for a life that must have been

really hard to hear yeah my marriage was

at stake

so I went to my boss and asked for a

vacation he told me to wait three more

months

he needed me there so nothing changed

day in and day out I worked and worked

eventually my wife left and guess what

the company closed down a year later the

economy was bad and I couldn’t find

another job

overtime I lost everything

Hey how many hours do you work a day uh

too many I’m sure I just hope you know

what you’re doing

things could change for you you know you

could start over after all you’re

educated that’s wishful thinking young

man winning the lottery

what’s gotten into Michael what’s he

doing I haven’t the slightest idea look

he’s coming over to us and these are for

you what’s the occasion

you haven’t heard I won the lottery

yesterday ten million dollars ten

million dollars come on that’s unheard

of

are you sure beyond the shadow of a

doubt six 12 22 24 and 28 I got every

number and it was the first time I ever

bought a lottery ticket beginner’s luck

I guess how do you feel I’m in shock to

say the least this is really all beyond

my

perhentian it hasn’t sunk in yet

maybe it’s never will

well I’ve got to hand it to you sure

look come if I were in your shoes I

don’t think I’d be able to stand still

let alone buy presents for people and

have conversations with them

I’m not so-called

I really have no idea what’s in store

for me you know right now

my whole life’s up in the air I’m

worried about making the most of this I

don’t want all that money to go down the

drain I’m going to need some time to

think are you going to quit your job I

can’t say yet but I won’t rule it out

well you are right not to make any quick

decisions and you know you should be on

the lookout for people who want to take

advantage of you I know I plan to be

very very careful well no matter what

you do with ten million dollars you’ve

got it made

stuck in the elevator oh no this can’t

be happening

hmm well that certainly happened out of

the blue

I wonder what’s going on I’m going to

ring the alarm this is the last straw I

told them weeks ago to check this

elevator I would have been better off

taking the stairs do you mean this has

happened

and before it sure has

it was a few weeks ago but I wasn’t in

the elevator oh if I’m cooped up and

here really long I don’t know what I’m

going to do I’m already at the end of my

rope well for crying out loud young man

don’t lose your head just calm down

and I’m sure they’ll get this thing

started again as soon as they can

you know I knocked myself out to be on

time for my meeting and now look

complaining isn’t going to help we’ll

just have to make do here and be

thankful that we have some light and

some company actually you’re right I’m

glad I’m not alone in here or I’d be

climbing the walls so you see it could

be a lot worse just please do me a favor

and keep a level head let’s just sit

tight and wait for help how can you be

so calm it sounds like you’ve been stuck

in elevators before well the truth is

this is my first time but why should I

panic what good would it do I don’t want

to dwell on things that scare me I’d

rather pass the time in here

pleasantly how would that ever be

possible hmm

we could tell each other our life

stories who knows we might even come

through this as friends huh we can help

each other out by doing something

that’ll distract us why don’t you just

sit down and tell me about yourself

violence in the media so what do you

think

well it’s nothing to write home about

you must be kidding why do you say that

I think it’s the best movie I’ve seen in

years

with all that violence it wasn’t so

violent it certainly was there was blood

in practically every scene and sometimes

the violence had no bearing on the story

it was just put in for audiences who

liked to see blood I don’t know how they

can get away with showing so much detail

well from my standpoint there was a real

anti violence message in the movie they

showed how all that violence ended in

tragedy but that’s no excuse for being

so graphic why did they have so many

scenes with all that suffering because

it was an important part of the story

sorry but that argument just doesn’t

hold water

you could cut some of those scenes out

and still have your story and as far as

sending an anti violence message you can

do that without making the audience’s

sick

now you’re just blowing this whole thing

out of proportion

am i look at the crime statistics

listen you know this subject is a bone

of contention between us we’ve had

heated arguments about this kind of

thing before

yes too many I sure hope that someday

I’ll get through to you all I know is I

got my money’s worth tonight well I’ll

agree that this story was engrossing but

all that blood and violence drives me up

the wall look now we’re back where we

started let’s just agree to disagree and

go get a cup of coffee changing time

zones dad what time is it for for who

knows what time that is for me boy I

have terrible jet lag I can’t keep my

eyes open

well I’m not going to let you sleep in

the middle of the afternoon let’s take a

walk and you can tell me about your trip

I’m sorry daddy

but I’m too wiped out I think I’ll

stretch out and take a little nap uh-uh

no naps you know if you go to sleep now

you’re going to wake up in the middle of

the night come on let’s take a little

walk around the block maybe you’ll get a

second wind I sure hope so I missed you

and mom a lot a year is a long time we

missed you too honey but we know that

studying in another country was good for

you

well I sure had my ups and downs

sometimes I even thought about coming

home early but I was determined to stick

it out and I’m glad you did but you

didn’t tell us

you were having problems what was so

hard for you over there oh I don’t think

I can scratch the surface

you
