Ben: But I don't know what to say to her. I don't know how to act with her. Mike: Ok, ok. Now the single most important thing is not to embarrass yourself.Ben: Ok. Mike: Ok. That means no belching. Ben: Ever?Mike: Well, at least not when you're with her.Ben: Gotcha. Mike: Ok, no screaming. Ben: Of course not.
Stacey: Where did you graduate from? Mike: Dewey High. Stacey: You're a hooter! I'm a Hooter! Class of eighty six.Mike: Yeah, what a coincidence. Stacey: you couldn't have been in my class. I'd have remembered you. Mike: Um, well, I was much shorter then. You should have looked down. There I was. Trudy: Your hand is sweating all over my back. (He kisses her)
Yuk! Ben: You're welcome. Trudy: Try it again and I’ll slug you. Ben: Wait a minute; are you really saying you really don't like me? Trudy: Ben, you are just a stupid little kid with sweaty hands.Ben: That's it. I've had it with girls. I got all dressed up for you and I wasn't supposed to tell you that. You say the opposite of what you mean, but you really mean it. This is too hard. Everything was so simple before I went to the Cosby Show.Trudy: You've been to a taping of the Cosby Show? In person. Ben: Yeah. Trudy: Really? Ben: We do stuff like that all the time.Trudy: Wow! Stacey: Come on Trudy, we're getting out of this play pen.

I need to know.Ben: Mike, are you asking my advice about women? Mike: What! Come on Ben, that’s stupid. So, like, what did you say? Ben: I thought you knew everything about girls.
Mike: Well of course I do. Ok, alright, maybe not everything. But a lot, I know a whole lot. Ok nothing, zero, zip.Ben: But I always thought.. Mike: Of course you did Ben. I mean, you were just a starry eyed little kid. But I guess its time you learned the truth, now that you are a guy. Ben: I'm an actual guy? Mike: Yeah, a small one, but yes. Ben: Gee, I’m a guy and I know as much about girls as you do. Mike: You know nothing. Ben: Uh hu! Jason: Hi guys Mike and Ben: Hi. Maggie: You’re up late. Ben: We're having a night cap.
Jason: Well nothing. It seems like only yesterday I was asking my dad that exact question.Mike: When was that? Jason: It was yesterday.
Carol: Hi mum.Maggie: Carol, you startled me. Why are you sitting here in the dark? Carol: Ah Bobby and I are fighting. Maggie: I'm sorry. Why?

沪江英语Ben: Hi mum, hi dad. How are you guys? Maggie: hi honey. We're fine. Jason: How's school today Ben? Ben: Fantastic! Jason: Ooh! That good huh? Ben: Wait til you here. This morning when the principle was finished doing announcements over the PA, she got a shock when she touched the microphone, and yelled out a real naughty word. Maggie: So that’s what made it a fantastic day? Ben: You bet. Boy, you could hear that dirty word echoing through the halls. Jason: Well, look who made it through another day of school. Mike: Well barely. Hey, uh dad. Do you think I could borrow about two hundred and seventeen dollars? Ok, I’ll settle for five. Radio: WZLB time, it's four fifteen and that’s Jack pot call in time. Two thousand big ones in a hopper right now, just waiting for you to call five five five loot, and tell me the name of this song.... Mike: I knew it! I knew it! I knew the song Ben! I got it! I got it! Ben: Dial already. Jason: and Maggie: Go mike go. Hurry up! Mike: You know Carol's been driving me crazy playing that song.

Well maybe next time.Mike: Yeah, hey dad, since I didn't win the two thousand, how about the five? Jason: This isn't your day mike.Ben: I got some news that will cheer you up Mike. Wait til you hear what Miss Cunn said over
the Pa. Jason: Don't you dare quote her. Carol: hey mum, hey dad Maggie: Hi sweetheart. Jason: Carol, a breath of normalcy. Carol: Oh listen. I need a note form one of you for the field trip next week. I need some canned food for the charity drive. Jason: and Maggie: Great. Carol: And I really need a nose job. Maggie: Sure. Did she just say.. Jason: Yes. Maggie: And I said.. Jason: Yes. Maggie: No. Jason: Yes. Maggie: Carol! Jason: Carol!
Maggie: Carol. Carol: Yes Maggie: Did you just say.. Jason: Honey, what's this..? Maggie: After you.
Jason: No. We just want to know what this is all about.
Maggie: But we are certainly not upset. Jason: We'd be upset if you were serious about this. Carol: I am. Maggie: Well then. We're upset. Carol: Mum. I've been thinking about this for a long time. And then last week, this girl in my Latin class came in after having it done, and mum she looks great. Maggie: But honey you have a cute nose. You have a perky little button nose.Jason: Yeah, you have your mother’s nose.
Carol: I know. No mum mum. It looks good on you. You can get away with a bog nose. I mean, cos all your other features are big too. I don't mean big, I just mean.. Jason: Carol, just give up.Maggie: Carol, who says you have a big nose? Carol: Well I do and that’s what matters, right? Mike: Hey Carol, someone named Charlotte Bowzer's on the phone.Carol: Oh great! She's giving me all the information about her plastic surgeon. Jason: Carol. We’re talking to you. Carol: I know, but this is important.
about it. We sit her down, we talk to her and we ask her reasons. Then we have an intelligent dialogue between a responsible child and her supportive parents. Maggie: Sure. We ask her all the right questions and carol will see that she hasn't thought this thing through at all. Carol: A nose job or rhyno plasti is an out patient procedure normally involving a local anesthetic that wears off in about four hours. It is usually recommended that the patient remain in bed for one additional day. There is discoloration of the nose and orbits of the eyes as a result of haemotoma from blows to the mallet. And it costs only twenty four hundred
dollars. Maggie: what did I say? She hasn't thought this through at all. Carol: First of all, I’m still the same carol who gets straight A's and thinks everything through. And this is not a whim or an adolescent phase if that's what you're thinking. Jason: Oh not me. Carol: The basic question here is, do you believe that the size of a persons nose can affect the course of their life? Jason: Well.. Carol: Explain Carl Molden?
Jason: No point to suddenly start treating her like she's bens age. Maggie: Well she’ll get used to it. Jason: I say we should go ahead and tell her she can have the nose job. Maggie: Jason.Jason: If she pays for it herself. See that way, for every dime she has to save, she'll have time tosee if it’s worth it. Twenty four hundred dollars. That’s a lot of thinking Maggie. Maggie: But honey. What if she saves the money and she still wants a nose job? Jason: By the time carol saves twenty four hundred dollars, she's going to need a face life.
Carol: ten dollars a week into twenty four hundred is two hundred and twenty four, divided by fifty two is ...four and a half years. Hello Michael. Hot shirt.Mike: No carol. I don't have any money to lend you. And you know what, it really pains me to say that, knowing what a worthy cause this is.Carol: Oh go squeeze some zits. Mike: Now what a rude thing to say, especially to a guy who happens to know of a job where you could make some big money. Carol: What job? Mike: No no no no. It's too late Carol. I'm hurt. Carol: Oh come on mike. I'm sorry. What job? Mike: Truly sorry? Carol: In tears. What's the job?
Mike: Mum, can't we just eat a skeleton instead?
Maggie: What in the world? Carol: Since I have to wait so long to save the money I need, I decided to camouflage my facial deformity, with the subtle use of make up. Mike: Looking good carol. Maggie: That's enough carol. Upstairs right now and wash it off. Carol: But mum! Jason: It's not going to work carol, you are still going to have to save the money yourself. Carol: Alright fine. Fine. I'll go up to my room, but I just want you to know I am never coming
out. Ok? Just think about it. Never. Jason: Now exactly what are you doing? Mike: Being sent to my room without dinner. Jason: You're getting a double portion. Mike: No no dad. Jason: And you too. Ben: Hey!
Radio: Alright its jack pot call-in time.Mike: I'm not missing it this time.
Carol: I'm going to remember this day. Te day my parents gave me their word and then broke it. Mike: Boy am I full. Ben: Yeah, liver wasn't as bad as I thought. Mike: Yeah. I just couldn't stop eating that stuff mum. Can we be excused? Maggie: Ok. Jason! Jason: I was just thinking. I know we've stopped carol, but at what price? Now we'll never know why she's so upset about the way she looks. Maybe she'll never know. What's causing
this negative self image? I just can't help but feel we are cutting off our own nose to spite our face. Ok, bad choice of words.
Carol: Mike.Mike: Ok Brooke. You win. Carol: Come on Mike. Get up.Mike: Brooke. Oh carol, no what's going on. Carol: Mike I need your help.Mike: Carol get lost. Carol: It's worth fifty bucks. Mike: Alright, name it. Carol: I need you to drive me somewhere without anybody knowing. Mike: Where? Carol: What difference does it make?
Receptionist: Name? Carol: Hi. I have an appointment with Doctor Kowabash for a preliminary consultation for rhyno plasti. I have the parents consent form right here. See, my parent’s signature, my father’s signature. I'll have them pay in cash before the procedure, so I’ll just wait there until you call me. Thank you. Receptionist: Name. Carol: Yes, how silly of me. I'm so sorry. I get really nervous around doctors. And receptionists. Anyone in white actually.
Receptionist: Name. Mike: Oh it's Carol Seaver.Receptionist: Her name. Mike: It is. Receptionist: Oh. Carol: He's a well respected psychiatrist.Receptionist: Him? Carol: Not him. He's my stupid brother.Receptionist: Thank you. Mike: Smooth. Receptionist: Yes, do you have a listing for a doctor Jason Seaver?
(phone rings) Ben: Ok ok.
Mike: Can you believe that some people actually do that to themselves on purpose? Oh sorry. Carol: Mike, if you're going to say stuff like that, wait in the car. Ok? Mike: I'm sorry. I just meant that it looks like major pain.Carol: Mike. Mike: Oh right. Look! Carol, if you are so chicken about this, why are you even doing this?
Carol: You know very well why I’m doing this. You are just setting me up for one of your little jokes. Mike: What jokes? Carol: Oh I don't know. Probably some stupid joke like, "carol, if you really want to improve you looks, why don't you just get a new flea collar?' Mike: That’s good. I like that Carol. Hey, you said it. Carol: I just beat you to it. That’s all. Mike: Yeah, I guess I have come up with a zinger or two in my day.
Carol: Yeah. Mike: Yeah, kind of like the time I told you to go break a mirror, or how about the time I told Eddie you were in a bad mood because you had to be wormed. Wait a minute. Carol, are you saying that all my little jokes about you being ugly have something to do with you coming here today? Carol: Of course not. Mike: You're lying. Carol: I am not. Mike: You are.
Carol: Well, you think I'm pretty. Mike: Yeah. And if you have any kind of sensitivity at all, you will never ever tell anyone that I said you looked pow wow. Ok? Maggie: Carol, how dare you disobey us. Carol: Mum, dad! Jason: I never thought I’d hear myself saying this, but Carol Ann Seaver, you are grounded. Carol: Wait! Maggie: No explanations. You are not getting a nose job.
Carol: I know. Jason: What? Carol: I'm not getting a nose job. Jason: Don't confuse us by agreeing with us carol. Now we'll talk about this at home. Maggie: You bet we will. We have to convince you.. Carol: I don't want a nose job. I don't need a nose job. I look fine just the way I am. In fact I might even be a little bit pretty. Jason: Did you have anything to do with this? Mike: Me, hey I was trying to convince her to go for a whole new head.
Jason: What? Maggie: Well I just need to know, do you really think.. Jason: Yes honey, your nose is wonderful. It's perfect. Maggie: Thank you. Do you think your nose is perfect? Jason: Sure. Maggie: Oh! Jason: What? Maggie: No reason. Jason: Maggie, there's nothing wrong with my nose. OK? And frankly I’m a little tired with all this nose talk.Maggie: I agree sweet heart.Jason: It's itchy. I'm scratching.. Maggie: Honk honk!
