A Day in the Life of a College Student (Situation1-24)
(整理自 http://www.tingclass.com/lesson/0000603300648.html)
Situation 1:
Waking Up Late
(Charles and Mike are roommates in a college dormitory.)
Mike,don't you have a class at noon?
Huh?I said it's eleven forty - two and
you have a history class at twelve.
What? Eleven forty - two? Why didn't you wake me up earlier?
Because I'm not your mother.And because,if you must
know,I had an English literature class until eleven.
(Crawling out of bed.) Yeah,whatever.
It's my fault anyway;I shouldn't be out
drinking till three a.m. when I have class
the next morning.
Oh,you finally figured that out,huh?
By the way,that's exactly what you said last Thursday
morning when you got up late.You're hopeless.
I thought we decided that you
weren't my mother.Are you finished with
your lecture?
Yes,and you are going to be late
for yours if you're not careful.
It's already eleven fifty-three.
Eleven fifty-three!? Quit talking to me or I'll never
get ready.Have you seen my American history textbook?
I asked you a question!I thought you told me to quit
talking to you,something about making You late.
Okay,okay,I'm sorry.Where's the book?
It's right over there on your desk.
(Grabbing the book and running for the door.)
You bastard.
You're welcome.
Situation 2:
A History Lecture
(Sitting down in the back of the lecture hall.)
I thought for sure I'd be late.
Hey,Mike.You are late,but so is Professor Clark.
He's getting old,maybe he forgot about class today.
We should be so lucky.No,I'm just happy that he's later
than me.I was really worried.
Oh,here he comes.
Prof.Clark:(Entering from the front of the room
and walking up to the podium.)
Good morning class,or should I say good afternoon?
Twelve o'clock classes always confuse me.
In any case,let's begin today's lecture.Today I want to speak
about the American Civil War,which I am assuming
all of you read about last week in the book
by Huntington.The Civil War can be
analyzed in many ways,but today I want to
discuss it as a result of economics.The northern United
States industrialized rather earlyand so had little need
for slave labor in their society.The southern states,
on the other hand,had an economy based
on agriculture,particularly cotton.
This caused a much higher demand for
slavesto supply manual labor in the fields.Eventually,this funda-
mental difference in economic structuresled to a difference in
ideology.And,as ideological differences often do,
this led to a conflict which eventually resulted in war.
In this way,the Civil War is not unlike the
Cold War between the United Statesand the Soviet Union,
which was also largely caused by differing economic systems.
Situation 3:
Brunch
(Class ends and Sarah and Mike walk out of the building.)
Mike,would you like to have lunch?
I'd love to,but it's actually brunch for me.I woke up late and
haven't eaten anything.
Sure,brunch is good too.I know a place that serves
breakfast all day.And they have great sandwiches too;
I already had breakfast.
Great,I can have some pancakes and you get whatever you want.
I just can't start the day with a sandwich.
( Sarah and Mike walk across campus to a restautant.)
Here it is.What do you think?
It looks good,but I'll have to try the
food before I really tell you what I think.
Fair enough.
How many?
Just two.
Please,sit anywhere you'd like.
(Sarah and Mike go sit down.)
Can I get you something to start?
Do you have decaf coffee?
We sure do.
I'd like a cup of decaf and some water, please.
Could I get an orange juice?
One decaf and one O. J.?
And don't forget the water.
Oh yeah,and a water.
(The waiter returns with the drinks.)
Are you ready to order?
Yes,I'd like the blueberry pancakes
with a side order of two eggs,over easy,
and some bacon,extra crispy.
And I'll have a turkey sandwich on
wheat bread,no mayonnaise,please.
The sandwich comes with your choice
of french fries or salad.Which one would you like?
Salad,please.And could you put the dressing on the side?
Of course.That will just be a minute.
Situation 4:
Back in the Dorm Room
Did you make it to class on time?
No,but neither did the professor so
it was no problem.Maybe he was out drinking last night too.
I doubt it.But at least you didn't
get in trouble.You have class even
earlier tomorrow morning;I hope you aren't
going out again tonight.
We'll see.Besides,you don't need
to worry about me.My grades are fine.
That's true,but I still worry.
Why?
Because when you wake up late,or
forget something,or whatever,you always yell at me.
Sorry.It's just that I am not used to living away from home.
I am only a freshman and this is the first
time 1 haven't had my parents to wake me up,make me breakfast,and
all that stuff.
Yeah,I remember how it was.I mean,I'm only a junior but
it seems like I've been away from home
forever.Still,during my first year of college I was
just like you.It just takes a while to get used to
managing your own time.You'll be doing it in no time.
I sure hope so.This is no way to live.
You say that every day,and then go out every night.
That's true.In fact,Sarah invited me to a party tonight at
her sorority.
A sorority party,huh? Now that's different.Do you think
I could join you?
I'll see what I can do.
Situation 5:
A Telephone Conversation
(Mike calls Sarah on the phone.)
Hello,may I speak with Sarah?
May I ask who's calling?
It's Mike Watson,from her U.S.History class.
Okay,just a second. I'll get her.
(Sarah picks up the phone.)
Hello.
Hi,Sarah,it's Mike.
Didn't we just see each other?
You must really like me.
You know I do.But that's not why I called.
You know my roommate Charles? Well he wants
to come with me to the party tonight.
Charles? Isn't he kind of a bookworm?
Why does he want to come to the party?
Yeah,he does study a lot,but he's not a bad guy.
And there will be so many girls tonight.
Maybe even he can get lucky.
I wouldn't bet on it.But,yes,I'll put
his name on the guest list.How do you spell his
last name?
M-A-L...
(Cutting Mike off.) Wait,wait,let me
get a pen and paper.
What was that again?
His last name is spelled M-A-L-I-Z-E-W-S-K-I.
Got it.Are you guys coming together?
Yeah.Should we bring anything?
No,we have that all taken care of.But be sure to dress
nicely;it's a semi-formal event.
Don't worry.We'll both be in suits.
And ties,right?
Right,right.Although Charles'tie might be a clip-on.
Oh,you are so bad.I'll see you at seven.
Don't be late.
Okay,seven o'clock.I'll see you then.Bye.
Bye.
Situation 6:
Buying a Shirt
Charles,you're on the list for tonight,
but we have to wear suits.
No problem,I've got plenty of suits.
I know but I don't.I only have one and it's not the
greatest.Still, it'll pass.The real problem is I have
no shirt or tie.
I've got plenty of those too.
I know Charles,but you're five-seven and I'm six-two;
I hardly think I'll be wearing any of your clothes.
I see what you mean.But you could borrow one of my ties,right?
True,but that still leaves me shirtless.I've got to
go get one.
(Mike goes outside,catches a taxi,and heads for a local
men's clothing store.)
May I help you find something?
Please.I need a dress shirt for tonight.
Did you have any particular style in mind?
No,just something plain.What do you have in a white oxford
clothwith button down collars?
We have a very nice shirt from Ralph Lauren,
but it has the Polo mark on it.Is that okay?
Fine,fine.
What size are you?
I'm not sure.My mom buys all my clothes.
But I think I'm about a sixteen inch neck
and thirty - three inch sleeve.Does that sound about right?
Probably for the neck,but you're pretty tall.Let's try a thirty-
five inch sleeve.
You're the pro,whatever you say.
Situation 7:
In a Taxi
Where to pal?
To Carleton College,please.Do you know where
Elliot House is?
Elliot's house? I thought you wanted to go to Carleton.
I do.And it's not Elliot's house,it's
Elliot House.That's the name of my dormitory.
Oh,why didn't you say so? And no,I don't know where it is.
That's all right.Just go to the college and I'll give you
directions from there.
You got it.
(They arrive at the front gate of the college.)
We're here.Now where to?
Make a right turn at the gate,then go
down two streets and take a left.
Will that be a left on Broadway?
Yes.Elliot House is at 357 Broadway.
Good for Elliot House,but Broadway is
a one - way street. I can only turn right.
Woops,sorry about that.I don't have a
car and so I never pay attention to which
streets are one- way.
Don't worry about it,kid.I know a shortcut anyway.
I'll take the first left instead of the
second,and then go around the back of your dorm.
Great.It's a good thing you know the
streets around here better than I do.
That's my job. I get paid to know
these streets.Where are you from,not from around here I guess?
No.I'm just here for school.I'm originally from Delaware.
Nice state,Delaware.Well,here we are.That'll be seven
dollars and fifty cents.
Here's nine.Keep the change.
Thanks.
No,thank you.
Situation 8:
Charles' English Class
(After Mike leaves,Charles goes off to his second English
literature class of the day.He arrives early,takes
his seat,and waits for the professor to begin.)
Good afternoon,class.Today we are going to
discuss the reasons for Shakespeare's near
universal acceptanceand popularity the world over.
It is not that English literature is superior
to the literatures of other countriesor that Shakespeare
was a better writer than other authors.Although he was,of
course,a great writer,still,I believe,it is the universality
of his themes and stories which makes
him great.Almost anyone from any country at any time in
history can identify with these themes.For all people in all
times experience love, hatred,jealousy and
greed.Everyone at one time or another has
questioned the meaning of existence,or wanted to take
revenge on an enemy.Yes,class,it is these subjects and questions
which transcend timeand place that make Shakespeare not only
popular,but also great.
Situation 9:
Getting Ready for the Party
(Mike comes out of the bathroom.)
Damn,I cut myself shaving.
No problem,just put some toilet paper on it.
I know that,but I'm going to have a
big scab on my neck all through the party.
No one will notice it.
Why not?
Because of that big pimple you have on your chin.
They'll all be too busy staring at that
to notice a little cut on your neck.
Thanks a lot.If I keep talking to you I'll be too
embarrassed to go to this party at all.And I'm the one who
got you invited.You owe me.
Sorry,I was just trying to help.
Here,let me get you that tie.
That's more like it.Now you're making
yourself useful.
Do you like stripes or solids?
Give me a striped one.My shirt is solid white;
I don't want to look too plain.
Good thinking.Do you want a matching handkerchief?
God no.Charles,this is only a semi-formal occasion.
Don't get too fancy.
I know,but when I dress up I like to go all out.
Situation 10:
Calling for Directions
(Mike calls Sarah's sorority to get
directions to the party.)
Hello,may I speak with Sarah,please?
Sarah's not here Can I take a message?
No,no message.I was just calling for directions to the
party tonight.Do you know where it is?
Sure,I'm going too.It's in the grand ballroom of the Hyatt Hotel.
And what's the best way to get there from school? Will you
be driving?
Well,I won't,but my friend Bill has a car,and my roommate and I
will be going with him.
Okay,it's really easy.Just go straight down Main Street heading
toward downtown.Then turn right on Brattle Street,you
know where Brattle is, right?Yeah,isn't there a Gap
clothing store on the corner?
Right.And from there just go down
about four blocksand the Hyatt is on the corner of Brattle
and Kearney Streets.And the grand ballroom
is on the second floor Did you get all that?
Got it.Anything else I should know?
No,just be there a little early or all
the good food will be gone.
Okay,we'll be there at eight o'clock sharp.
Fine,but the party starts at seven.
That's right.I forgot.We'll be there no later than quarter
after seven, okay?
Great.See you then.
See you then.Bye.
Situation 11:
Mike Introduces Charles to Bill
(Bill arrives at the dormitory to drive
Mike and Charles to the party.He knocks on their door.)
Who is it?
It's Bill.Is Mike in?
Yeah,Bill,I'm right here.
Game on in.
(Bill comes into the room.)
Bill,how are you? I'd like you to meet my
roommate,Charles.
(Reaching out to shake Charles' hand.)
Nice to meet you,Charles.My name's Bill
Rodriguez.
Hi,my name's Charles Malizewski.
Nice to meet you too.
What year are you,Charles?
I'm a junior.How about you?
I'm a freshman.Mike and I entered together.
What's your major?
I'm majoring in English literature,and you?
Engineering,even though I'm terrible at math and science.
I'm just the opposite.Math and science are
easy for me but I really like English
lit.But I'm really not very good at it.
Well,you can't be good at everything.
I guess not.
Are you girls done chatting yet?
We're going to be late.
Very funny.And don't worry,it's only six twenty.We've got
plenty of time.You just keep getting ready;I'm enjoying
talking to Charles.So,Charles,where are you from?
Delaware,have you ever been there?
Sure,I'm from Pennsylvania,but my grandparents live in
Delaware.I go there every summer.It's great.
Where in Pennsylvania are you from?
A little town outside of Philadelphia,you've probably never
heard of it.
Probably not.But I do know Philadelphia.
Charles,everyone knows Philadelphia.Let's get going.
You're right.It's always good to arrive a bit early.Let's go.
Situation 12:
Driving to the Hotel
(Mike,Charles and Bill are all in Bill's car.)
What's the best way to get there?
(Looking in his pockets for the directions.)
I wrote down the directions but I can't seem to find them.
Anyway,I think I remember.It's at the Hyatt,do you know how
to get there?
No.
Charles,do you?
No.
That's all right,I think I remember.
Take a left here and get on Main Street.
Okay.
(Bill turns left.) And which way
should I turn on Main Street?
Towards downtown.
That would be another left turn,right?
Right.
Do you mean make a right turn,or that a
left turn is correct?
A left turn is correct.
Are you sure about that?
Yes,I'm sure.What I'm not sure about is
where to turn after that.It was either on
Brattle or Barry Street.
Oh yeah,now I remember.The Hyatt is
on the corner of Brattle and Kearney.
That sounds right So that means a right
turn on to Brattle,right?
Correct.
And from there is easy.
Situation 13:
Arriving at the Party
(Mike,Charles and Bill arrive at the hotel
and ask the doorman for directions.)
Excuse me,but could you tell us
where the grand ballroom is?
Of course,sir.The grand ballroom is
located on the second floor in the rear of the hotel.
Thank you.
(Mike,Charles and Bill go up to the second
floorand arrive at the entrance to the grand
ballroom.There is a woman standing in front of the door.)
Good evening,gentlemen.May I see your invitations?
Mike,you didn't tell me about any invitations.
Yeah,Mike,I thought you called
Sarah and took care of it.
I did.Look,miss. . . .
(The woman cuts Mike off.)
My name is not miss,it's Barbara.
I'm sorry,Barbara,if I could just go in there and talk to my
friend Sarah I'm sure she could straighten this out.
I'm sorry.Not without an invitation.
Yes,I understand.But to get our invitations I have to
go in and talk to Sarah.
Well,okay.But only you.Your friends will have
to wait here untill you all have invitations.
that's fine.I'll be right back.
(Mike goes in,finds Sarah,and returns with three invitations.)
Here you are,Barbara,three invitations.
Sorry to bother you.No bother,I was just
doing my job.
Situation 14:
At the Party
You guys finally made it!
Thanks to you.
Yeah,Sarah,thanks a lot.
Don't mention it.What fun is a sorority
party if no guys show up?
True,but I really appreciate you
getting me in on such short notice.
Dont't mention it.Any friend of
Mike's is a friend of mine.Hey,that's a nice tie;
is it a clip-on?
(sarah smiles.Mike and Bill try not to laugh.)
No,I tied it myself.Do you really like it?
Yeah,and the stripes make you look taller.
I'll take all the help I can get.
Come on Charles,Sarah's my date.Let me talk to her a
little.Why don't you and Bill go meet
some nice girls?
I didn't come here to meet nice girls.
You devil.I know what kind of girls you like.
Then introduce me to a couple of them.
I'm sorry,Bill,but you'll just have to be content with one tonight.
Whatever you say.Where is she?
Give me a second and I'll find someone.
Okay,but only one second.
Situation 15:
At a Brew Pub After the Party
(After the party Bill goes home with his new
girlfriend,while Mike and Charles go out for a beer.)
Charles,how about a beer before going home?
That sounds good.Ididn't meet a single girl tonight.
Sarah tride to introduce you but you're so shy.
I know,I know.I don't want to think
about it.Let's go to a brew pub.
What's a brew pub
Oh yeah,I forgot you are a freshman.A brew pub is a bar
and restaurant where they brew their own
beer.They have lots of different beers and
all of them are fresh and homemade.
Sounds interesing.Is it far away?
No,it's right around the corner.Come on.
(Mike and Charles go into the brew pub,sit down and are
greeted by the waitress.)
Good evening.Will you be having
dinner or just beer?
Just beer.What do you have?
Do you like light or dark beers?
Dark.What about you Mike?
Me too.
For dark beers we have a honey porter,an oatmeal
stout,and special winter ale.
I'll take a stout.
Could I have the winter ale,please?
Sure,one stout and one ale coming right up.
Situation 16:
The Morning After
(Charles and Mike both wake up late.)
Hey,Charles,do you know what time it is?
Let me check..It's twelve fifteen.
Damn,I knew we shouldn't have had those last two beers.
What? You're the one who insisted we stay until
that place closed.
Yeah,but you're older than I am.You should have known better.
Okay,whatever you say.But don't yell at me next time I tell
you to stop drinking.
Well,I can't promise anything,but I'll try.
By the way,don't you have class at one o'clock?
Class?What class?
Your Sociology class,perhaps?
That's right! I forgot.How is it that you remember my schedule
better than I do?
Maybe because you always yell at me if I don't.Besides,I've been here
longer than you so I'm used to a college schedule.
True.And even if I yell at you that
doesn't meanI don't appreciate all your help.
I really do.
Don't mention it.I think of you as a little brother.
I have a baby brother who's the same age as you.
Hey,wait a minute.I'm no baby.
Situation 17:
Going for Coffee
Charles,I have time for a cup of coffee,do you?
Are you buying
Sure.It's the least I can do for all your babysitting.
I never said you were a baby.And,yes,I'd love some hot coffee.
Good,because I know a great cafe that
just opened across the street from school.It's called Someday Cafe.
Someday Cafe? That's a cool name.
But is the coffee any good?
Good? It's great.I alawys get the double latte,but their normal
coffee is tasty too.
Sounds good.Let's go.
(Charles and Mike quickly get dressed and go to the cafe.)
Hello,what would you like this afternoon?
I'll have a double latte,please.
And you?
Could I please have a large coffee?
Of course.That's one double latte and one large
coffee,right?
Right,how much is that?
No,I said that I was paying.
Well,that will be four dollars
and fifty cents for whoever is paying.
That would be me.Here's five dollars.
Thank you.Here is your change.
Thanks.Charles,let's go sit over by the window.
Okay,how about on that sofa?
Okay.
Situation 18:
A Political Discussion
(Charles and Mike go sit down on a sofa by the window.)
What do you think about the upcoming elections?
Didn't your parents teach you not to discuss politics in
the morning?
What do you mean morning? It's already twelve forty.
Yes,but I've been awake less than an hour,so to me it is
still the morning.
Well,that's too bad because this election is important
and I want to talk about it.
Yes,I can tell You really aren't going to give up,are you?
Nope.
Okay,then,what is so important thatyou must talk about it
before I finish my coffee?
It's Mayor Jamison.He's a thief and he just can't be reelected.
Listen,Mike,politics are politics.Even if we elect a new
mayor,he will trun out just the same as Jamison.
No,that's not true.Larry Strauss is running for mayor too
and he's an honest man
You really are a baby.You are so naive.Anyone who wants to be
a politician is already dishonest.
I don't believe that.You are only twenty years old.Why
are you so cynical?
I am not cynical,I'm realistic.
No,really,why are you so sure politicians are dishonest?
Well,if you must know,my father is a politician.
Really?
Yes,really.
What does he do?
He's a state senator.
How long has he been a senator?
As long as I can remember.And he's always been
crooked so don't tell me you think politicians are honest
Look,Charles,I don't want to talk about politics.
What? You're the one who started this discussion!
I know,and now I'm ending it.I have class at one.
Situation 19:
Sociology Class
(Mike arrives early and takes a seat near the front.)
Hey,Mike,you're never early,what's up?
I know,but I was having a terrible discussion on politics
with my roommate Charles and I just had
to run away.I just can't discuss politics in the morming.
I know what you mean.I hate talking about politics.I can't believe
Charles would do that.
Yeah, it's really rude,isn't it? Well,
that's why I'm early.
(The professor comes in and sits at a table at the front of the room. )
Good afternoon.Last week we were discussing the theory
of functionalism.This theory, in brief,
states that all peopleare in a certain socio-economic position
for a reason.It further states that each of these
positions serves a functionand so should naturally be
preserved.Although such a theory seems valid at first
glance,there are many problems with it.Today,I would like to
discuss some of the weak points of the theory of functionalism.
One of these,for example,is that it does not
explain the great difference in opportunities given to
the richas opposed to the poor,Rather,it
assumes that the poor have no money because this is their
natural condition.Can anyone think of any more shortcomings
of functionalism?
Well,it's not only money that they don't have.If they don't have
money,that also limits their chances for
education,medical care,and other important services.
Excellent point.
Would anyone like to add something?
I think it is all the fault of dishonest politicians.
( Looking confused )Interesting.I'm not sure I unders-
tand what you mean,but yes,many politicians are corrupt.
They sure are.Like my roommate's dad....
Situation 20:
The Laundromat
(Claas ends and Mike and Nancy leave together.)
Hey,what are you doing now?
Nothing, why?
Oh,I was just going to do my laundry and I was wondering....
(Interrupting her)
I'd love to,but there's only one washing machine in our
dorm,right?
Right.But I know of a cool laundromat
about a block from school.How does that sound?
It sounds all right.What's so cool
about this particular place?
Well,while you wash your clothes,you
can do a lot of other things too.
Other things,like what?
Well,they have a coffee bar.
No,I just had coffee before class.
They also have a snack bar with really
good pizza and sandwiches.
Aha,pizza,that's more like it.I'm really hungry.
Good,If you come with me I'll buy you some pizza.
It's a deal.But I should warn you,I eat a lot.
That's all right I just got paid at
work yesterday so I have some extra money.
I wish my girlfriend had some extra money sometimes—I pay
for everything.
Maybe you should think about getting a new girlfriend.
Don't say that.Sarah's a great girl.
I know.I was only joking.
Oh,good.
Situation 21:
Meeting Bill
(Mike and Nancy finish their laundry,and Mike
leaves for home.He meets Bill on the way.)
Hey,Mike,where are you going with that laundry in your hand?
What's up, Bill?
Nothing much.I just left that girl I met at the party.
But it's three thirty;have you been togeter since last night?
Yep.
You dog.
No,it's not what you think.She's a really nice
girl and we just sat up and talked all night.
I thought you didn't want to meet a nice girl.
Actually,I didn't at first.But once I started talking with
her it was different.
This is not like you.What was so different?
She's intelligent and funny and....(Bill stops and thinks
without saying anything.)
And what?
And beautiful.
You sound like you're in love.
I think I am.
But I thought you didn't believe in love
at first sight.
I didn't before last night, but now
I'm not so sure.
Wow,of all my friends you are the
last person I expected to be saying this.
I'm surprised too but it's all true.What can I say?
You don't have to say anything.I think
it's great.But I have to run.My laundry is going to
get wrinkled.
What?I may be in love for the first time in my
life and you're worri ed about your laundry!
Sorry.Hey,why don't you come to my room and we can talk
about it there?
That's a great idea. Let's go.
Situation 22:
The Internet
(Charles and his friend Kristina are
back in the dorm room using the internet.)
Kristina,do you usually use Netscape Navigatoror Internet Explorer
when you surf the web?
Charles,I don't know anything about computers,
that's why I'm here to learn from you.
Oh,right.Well,personally,I only use
Netscape.It's the best and besides I don't like
using anything from Microsoft.
Charles,let's start at the beginning.
What on earth does "surfing the web" mean
I forgot,you really are a beginner."Surfing the web"means
exploring the world wide web.
That's nice.And what,may I ask,is the world wide web?
That's just like saying the internet.
Okay.That's not so difficult to understand.
No,it isn't.You'll understand
all this in no time.
I sure hope so.Not knowing about
the internet makes me feel so premodern.
Well,the internet will have you feeling postmodern.
At this point I'd be happy with just plain modern.
I think we can do that.Here,let's go to my home page.
Um,I don't want to sound dumb,but what's a home page?
Don't worry about it,and don't ask
so many questions.Just listen,watch,and
learn.Soon you will understand everything.
Is it really that easy?
Yes.I'm telling you,all you
have to do is be able to readand push buttons.
There is nothing more to it.
That much I think even I can do.
I'm sure you can.
Situation 23:
Mike and Bill Arrive
(Just as Charles and Kristina are finishingtheir internet session
Mike and Bill arrive at the dorm.)
Hi,you guys.Are you busy because we
can go somewhere else?
No,we were just finishing.
Yeah,I have to get home for dinner anyway.
Okay,but I don't want to rush you.
No rush. We're leaving.Bye.
See you later Mike,Bill.
(Charles and Kristina leave. )
Okay,they're gone now.Tell me more.
There's nothing to tell.I just think I'm in love.
Love!?That's ridiculous. You don't even know her.
So what?Don't you believe in love at first sight?
Yes,as a matter of fact,I do.But you
don't and you never have.
But I do now.People can change,you know?
I know.I guess I'm just surprised to be hearing this from
you,the one who changed girlfriends every week.
Hey,don't tell her that,okay?I mean,we just metand I don't want
her to get the wrong idea.
You mean the right idea, don't you?
Come on,Mike.I'm asking you for a favor here.
Bill,you know you don't have to worry about me.I may tease you but
I'm your friend.I'll tell her nothingbut good things about you.
I knew I could trust you.
Situation 24:
Mike Meets Mimi
(Bill decides to introduce Mike to his new girlfriend,Mimi.)
Mike,today's the day I want you to meet Mimi.
Great,but who is Mimi?
Mimi is my new girlfriend,you know that.
No.You told me her name was Margaret.
Well,it is,but her friends all call her Mimi.
Wow,you really are in love.
What? Because I call her Mimi?
Forget it.Let's go meet her.
(Mike and Bill go outside where Mimi is waiting for them.Bill and Mimi forget
Mike is there.)
Hi,sweetheart.
Hi,honey.
(Mike makes a sour face.)
Excuse me,but are you going to introduce me?
Oh,sorry.Mimi this is Mike.
It's so nice to meet you.Bill has told
me so much about you.
That was fast considering you two
just met a couple of days ago.I guess there's not
much to tell about me.
Oh,stop. Anyway, my name is Margaret
but you can call me Mimi.
Thank you.My name is Mike.You can call me Mike.
Stop joking around,Mike.He's a really nice guy once
you get to know him.
I'm sure he is.
Let's go to get some ice cream.It's hot as hell out
here and we can talk in there.
That's a great idea.
(Sarcastically)Yeah,you're a genius.
