沪江英语Radio Announcer: 11:05 on a Christmas Eve morning. And by this time tomorrow fellow kiddies it will all be over but the exchanging! Music: Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock. . . Mike: Jacket. Scarf. (sniffs) Blue. All right. Shirt. Uh, long-sleeve. Uh, wrong style. Exchange value 22.50. Ben: Do one of mine mike! Mike: Oh Ben, I’m a little busy right now. Ben: Just one! Mike: Alright, ok, one. Underwear. Ben: Again? How am I supposed to have fun with underwear? Mike: I don’t know. Wear it backwards. Ben: Do another Mike. Mike: Ben, do you mind? I’m looking for the compact disc player that I’ve been hinting about. Ben: Just one more, just one more please! Mike: alright, alright, alright Socks! Ben Socks? What the heck is going on around here? Dad: Heyyy don’t you look. . . Introduction
Maggie: Ohhh, reindeer! (laughs) and a star, and a Christmas tree, and a Christmas, ummm, bra? Carol: No mom, it’s a modem. Maggie: A modem? Carol: Yeah, the thing that I’ve been asking for my computer. The thing that if I get will make this the happiest Christmas ever.
Dad: Maggie, Carol come here. Come look. It’s snowing harder than before! Maggie: Oh, isn’t it beautiful Yeah. I was thinking how perfect it is. I have my family, a beautiful home, everybody’s healthy. Great, dinner’s almost ready. It’s Christmas Eve and it’s snowing! I can’t think of a single other thing we need. Carol: A modem might come in handy. Dad: Oh, not you too Carol. Carol: Not me too what? Dad: Well, it seems like the only thing that you care about is whether you get this present you want.
Ben: I brought her home so we can all share the joy of giving. Hey Kid! Carol: Mom, this is going to ruin my entire Christmas. Dad: Ben you’re just too young to be inviting strangers. Ben: We can give her everything because she doesn’t have anything. Isn’t this fantastic
Dad: Ben, we thought you understood that if any time a stranger should come up to you for any reason Maggie: That you should have nothing to do with them
Ben: I know. Maggie: Honey, when we’re in the city and someone comes up to me and asks me for money what do I do? Ben: You keep walking Maggie: Right Ben: and then Dad gives ‘em the money. Maggie: What? Dad: We can talk about this later. Ben, the point is that, well, you’re still a young boy and if somebody asks you for something, you’re just too young to decide for yourself whether they’re needy or dangerous. Ben: But she didn’t ask me for anything. Dad: Well, how did you meet her? Ben: I jumped on her head. Dad: What?
Mike: Uh, she didn’t like the way Carol smelled so she left.
Carol: She’s in the bathroom. Maggie: Oh, I better get some towels. Dad: Well, it seems as though Ben has presented all of us with quite a challenge. Mike: Yeah, what’s going to be his punishment, Dad? Jason: Well, I’m not going to punish him. Carol: What? Dad: And the girl with be staying for dinner and spending the night. Carol and Mike: WHAT?
Carol: Oh come on Dad, grow up. Mike: Hey Dad, there’s a real fine line between being nice and stupid. Dad: Where do you two get these kind of ideas? Maggie: Where is the disinfectant? Dad: Maggie,Maggie: Yes? Dad: Would you explain to Carol and Mike how you feel about this? Maggie: Oh, well, I agree with your Dad that we should share our dinner with this girl. Dad: and let her spend the night. Maggie: Oh, come on Jason, grow up! Hello!
Well,
I’ll just slip
Jason: Honey, I’m sorry, I’ll never bribe them again. What are you doing? Maggie: Oh Jason. This belongs to her. Jason: Oh boy. Maggie: Honey, I think charity is wonderful too and you’re a dear, sweet man, but couldn’t we help someone who doesn’t pack a pig sticker Jason: Calm down don’t get excited. Maggie: Well, that’s easy for you to say. You’re trained to deal with disturbed people. Jason: Now, you don’t know that this kid is disturbed.
Maggie: Jason, don’t you think the fact that she lives in filth and carries her own cutlery indicates a teensie-weensie problem? Jason: Honey, I have an awful lot of experience dealing with runaways down at the shelter. Maggie: I knowJason: Well, I know that they’re lonely and they’re desperateMaggie: Yes Jason: And frightened. Maggie: Me too! Jason: Alright then, let me talk to her. Trust me. I can promise you one thing she won’t get the knife back and if I sense any danger I’ll call the authorities. Maggie: Ok Jason: You see, I do know how to handle disturbed people. Maggie: Ohhh, don’t push your luck.
Jason: Feel better?
Homeless Woman: What do you mean? Jason: I’m a stupid shrink. Homeless Woman: Oh boy. Out of all the dumpsters in the world your kid had to fall into mine.Jason: Well I don’t see any secret service people around so I’m going to assume that you’re not really Nancy Reagon. Homeless Woman: Sir, you are good. Jason: Why’d you run away?
Homeless Woman: I didn’t like the new tv season. Jason: Well if everybody who hated tv did that we wouldn’t have an empty dumpster between here and Denver. Why did you really leave home? Homeless Woman: Because nobody wanted me there. Jason: Your parents told you that? Homeless Woman: Look, doc, let me save you some time. Uhh, nobody hit me, nobody touched me, nobody did anything, nobody gave a damn. Jason: You sure? Homeless Woman: Look who cares? I don’t anymore. Jason: I don’t believe you. Homeless Woman: So what?
Maggie: And this is the last of it. Mike: Hey mom, you should have heard what dad just called you. Ben: Let’s eat! Let’s eat! Let’s eat! Jason: Whoa. . aren’t we missing Carol and our guest? Carol: . . . I swear! You guys are not going to believe this. Everyone: Ooohhhh Maggie: Don’t you look wonderful! Jason, doesn’t she look beautiful? Ben: She doesn’t look dippy . . .
Jason: I’m sorry was that you I kicked, Ben? Maggie: Why don’t you sit next to Ben. Ben: You even smell good. Homeless Woman: I hardly miss the dumpster. Jason: On that festive note, I would like to remind you all of the great Siever family tradition where we go around the table and tell everyone tells everyone else why they’re so thankful this year. Mike: Dad, we do this every year! Jason: Well, if you would rather just forget it. . .Kids: YES! Jason: you’re out of luck, ok. Alright now Ben you start. Maggie: C’mon Ben. Ben: Alright, I’m thankful that I got taller this year and Mike didn’t. Jason: that’s it?
You’re up Maggie! Maggie: Ohh, okay well let’s see. I’m thankful for my kids and my career and I owe it all to
the smartest, sexiest guy in the whole US of A. I’m just kidding. No honey, I’m serious. Jason: alright, it’s my turn. Mike: This could take us into New Year’s. Jason: Well, I’m thankful that the Siever’s made it through another year without any major disasters, with the exception of the goofy glue incident and I’m thankful that our lives are so full of (shut up Mike) joy. And I’m thankful that we have a guest in our home this year who will go back out into the world and tell the people that the Siever’s worst crime is that we’re a little corny.
Everyone: Yeah! Maggie: Let’s eat. Ben: Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Nancy Reagon has to tell us what she’s thankful for. Homeless Woman: I got nothing to say. Jason: That’s okay. Mike: No, no, no it’s not-I think that if we’re supposed to treat her like a member of the family that she should suffer the same humiliation that we do. Jason: Let’s just forget about it. Ben: But dad you said she. . . oh alright, who kicked me this time? Homeless Woman: Oh ok.
outfit. And I’m thankful that I’m not freezing to death in the snow.Ben:
Maggie: Watch out for the. . . the table. Jason: Ow! Maggie:surprised on Christmas morning? Jason: Honey, does it ever occur

Maggie: She took everything. Ben: Even my socks and underwear! Mike: Alright, just tell me this. Had you brought the good presents down from the attic yet? Jason: Mike, this is no time to be thinking of yourself. Mike: Well yesterday was a time for that, just before Mr. Goofy glue, here, brought the cat burglar home. Carol: What a rip off! Mike: Boy are we suckers. Maggie: Michael just stop it. Jason: Well, I can’t believe it I mean I was talking getting somewhere with her. Mike: Yeah, well now she’s getting somewhere with our Christmas. I’m going after her. Ben: Me too. Maggie: You’re not going to find anything outside. . .Ben: Wow!Maggie: What do you know? Jason. . .Carol: She couldn’t go through with it. Mike: She stopped when she was homefree. Carol: Maybe she was scared. .Maggie: or sorry. . .Ben: or nice. Jason:

沪江英语(Jason and Maggie are watching a sad film at night. Someone climbs up a ladder outside the house.) Maggie: Did you hear that? Jason: What that kind of scraping sound? Maggie: Yeah. Jason: Was it up on the roof? Maggie: Yeah. Jason: No, I didn't. I didn't hear that one either. Maggie: Jason! Jason: Ok, I'll handle it, wait... Maggie: Ooh gosh! Jason: Are you gonna let me handle this myself? (Mike crawls through the window) Mike: Alright!! (Maggie and Jason jump out of a room shouting and Mike screams) Mike: Errm, I was on my way home, and I figured I had plenty of time to get home before midnight because as you know, I wouldn't miss my curfew. So there I was feeling pretty obedient, when what do you think I saw? Jason: A spaceship?! Mike: Come on Dad, don't be ridiculous! I saw...fire. Yeah, I saw a towering fire. Maggie: Oh my! Mike: So then I said to myself, "Mike, you got two choices. Either you can turn your head the other way and make your curfew, or you can be a measly two hours and ten minutes late, and save a few lives. Maggie: Wow.
Jason: What a kid. Mike: So with no concern for my personal safety, or the time... Jason: It's eleven thirty. Mike: I know. So with no concern for...what? Maggie: It's eleven thirty right now Mike. A whole half hour before your curfew. Mike: Boner!Jason: You might say that. Mike: No no no no. Boner must have got the time wrong. Ha! I guess the jokes on all of us. I'll be back before twelve. Maggie: Oh no Mike: Ok ok, so there was no towering inferno. Maggie and Jason: No Maggie: So you admit that you lied to us? Mike: "lie" is such an ugly word.
Jason: Hello Maggie!! Suitcases are in the car. We can go just as soon as your parents get here. Oh come on honey, cheer up! In two hours you'll be cavorting in Atlantic City with a group of five thousand conventioning psychiatrists. Come on, if you're ever gonna have a breakdown, this is the weekend to do it.
Jason: Well, at least he doesn't do it well. Maggie: I'm serious. Jason: Oh come on Maggie, he's sixteen. I'm sure when you were sixteen, you must have lied
Ben: I'm gonna ambush Grandpa when he comes.
Ben: Oh!
Maggie: Let's ground him! Ben: I'll eat, I'll eat. Jason: We're talking about Mike. Ben: Ground him. Jason: But we can't, we're gonna be away at a psychiatric conference this weekend. Maggie: But my parents will be here, and my Dad's been retired from the police force for over three years now. I mean it would be really sweet to let him lock somebody up again. Mike: Good morning Mother! Morning Dad! Morning little Ben! I guess you're all wondering
why I'm standing here wearing this wrinkled, tattered shirt. Maggie: No. Mike: Well...just let me explain. Ok now, I was up all last night with worry; thinking about...what I did and why it was so wrong. And what I can do to make it up to you, the two most important people in my life. Maggie: Well we've been doing some thinking too Mike. Mike: Oh! Well j...just let me run my thoughts by you. Maggie: Mike, I really... Jason: Wait wait Maggie, this might be good.
too. Bye bye. Mike: "Lie: A deception, a fabrication, an untruth, a falsehood."
Jason: Well, I admit we do have something of a dilemma honey, but it's not a problem that can't be solved. In fact the solution is really very simple, you're grounded too. Maggie: Very funny! Jason: Yes.
Maggie: But seriously honey we...you are serious!Jason: Well! Maggie: Oh Jason that's absurd. Jason: You're right. Maggie: I don't see how it would help anything. I don't believe we are even discussing it. Jason: You are right. Maggie: I hate it when you say "you're right" when you really mean "you're wrong". Jason: Forget I even mentioned you being grounded. Forget that it would teach Mike that lying is wrong for everyone. Forget that... Maggie: Jason! I hate this, more than I hate the other thing. Jason: You're right. Maggie: You're doing it again.
Maggie: No Mike. I'm grounding myself for lying to my boss. Mike: Wow wow wow wait a minute. You're grounding yourself? Maggie: That's right. I saw the chance to nail myself to the wall and I took it. Grandpa: Did you realize this front door's standing wide open? Ben: Stick 'em up, copper!! Grandpa: Alright, shoot if you want to. But I'm giving you a hug. Maggie: Daddy!!! Grandma: Good to see you. Hi sweetheart, how are you? Oh Mikey!! Ohh!!
Jason: And it's good to see you... Grandpa: Carol, haven't you got a "hello" for your old grandpa? Carol: Hey!!! Jason: Kate!!! Grandma: Oh Jason, it's so good....Maggie, I'm so sorry we're late, Ed had to pick up a little surprise for you. Maggie: Oh Daddy, What? Grandpa: I...now not so fast. How do little girls ask for something from their pop? (singing) Maggie: Pretty pretty please with cherry on top! (singing) Carol: I'm gonna gag. Grandpa: Sinatra tickets! Maggie: What?
Mike: Yes she has. And look what it's done to little Ben.
Maggie: Oh I bet Jason and Carol are probably getting ready for the dinner show about now. Ben: Eight o' clock and the perimeter is secure Grandpa! Mike's not sneaking out tonight! Grandpa: Good job, Deputy Ben. Carry on. Oh that Benny's gonna make a great cop. Mike: If he lives that long. Grandma: Ooh, I got a six letter word, triple word score, "sexual". Maggie: Mom!?!?
Grandma: My tiles are all gone. I win. Mike: Well, that's six in a row Grandma. Maggie: Well Mike, it's time for you to go to bed. Mike: What? It's eight o'clock. Maggie: Well you are being punished, you're not supposed to be having fun. Mike: I'm not! I'm hanging out with you guys. Maggie: Mike! Bed! Mike: Ok ok ok, I'll go. But I just want you to know, that if I ever do spot a towering inferno, I'm just gonna let those people die. Maggie: Mom, Dad, more coffee? Grandpa: Yeah! Grandma: No! Ed you know how it keeps you awake.
