沪江英语Carol: It's your turn to take out the garba...hey! You know you can't listen in when Dad talks with one of his mental patients. Ben: He's not talking to a mental patient! It's Mom. Carol: Well that's probably worse. You still shouldn't snoop. Ben: It's juicy stuff. Carol: Ben you can't... Ben: It's about Mike. Mike: Hey! I see Ben's been into the goofy glue again, huh? Ben: Ssshh. Mike we've got to warn you before it's too late. Mike: What? Carol: For five Bucks. Ben: Yeah. Mike: What? You guys think I'm stupid just because I'm related to you? Carol: Ok. Well it's your funeral. Mike: Alright, alright, alright I owe you five Bucks. What is it? Ben: Your report card came in the mail today. Mike: Oh no! Ben: That's what Dad said. Mike: How bad can it be? Ben: Dad says you're this close to becoming a "good-for-nothing bum!" Mike: Ok, well...errm just tell 'em you haven't seen, ok? Carol: Oh, wait a minute. There's the little matter of the five Bucks. Ben: Yeah. Mike: Try and collect. Ben and Carol: Hi Mike!!!!! It's good to see you home Mike!!!! Jason: Don't you go anywhere. Your mom and I will wanna have a word with you in a few minutes! Mike: Ok. Now was it really really worth it, to sell your own brother out for a mere five
Dollars? Ben and Carol: Oh yeah! Sure...definitely!
Maggie: Jason. What are we going to do with Mike? Jason: Well Maggie, we've been asking each other the same question ever since his first report card in kindergarten. Maggie: I know, but he's only a year and a half away from graduating. Jason: I wouldn't bet on it. D, D plus, D minus minus. Teacher comment number sixty four, which is, "I've had it, I'm quitting teaching". Maggie: Oh! Jason: Course the real comment is our old favourite here... Jason and Maggie: "The student is not realizing full potential".
Maggie: Me? Jason: Yeah. Maggie: Well...I'd...ok...I'd erm...ah yeah and this is good! You know that speech you're giving at Boston College tomorrow? The one you made me listen to three times. Jason: No, I know the one you asked to hear three times.
Maggie: That's the one. Anyway take him with you. Show him round the campus. Let him see what he'll be missing, if he doesn't get his act together. Jason: Maggie, that's a terrible idea. Maggie: It is? Jason: Do you know what I could do? I could take him with me to Boston and soft sell him about college. Maggie: Ah! Show him around the campus? Jason: Yes!
Maggie: Let him see what he'll be missing. Jason: Yes. Maggie: Why I wonder where you come up with this stuff. Jason: Maggie, this is great. Oh, Michael!! He won't be able to resist my magical powers of persuasion. I'll have the whole weekend to spend with him. Hi Mike. Have a seat. Mike: Ah hold it! Alright alright. I know what this is all about, I know you guys have been talking about my future plans, and I myself have a few remarks on this subject. Have a seat, Dad. Now, what's all this fuss about the future? Maggie: Mike!!
Jason: No, it isn't. Maggie: Is. Jason: No, we've been through this one before Mike. What's the point of another lecture? Right? No, no, son of mine, I've got this two day trip to Boston coming up and I thought, "hey! Why don't we make it a guys' getaway?" Mike: What's the catch? Jason: There's no catch Mike. Come on, it will be fun. Just the two of us hanging out in bean town. You've been under a lot of academic pressure lately, and well maybe what you really
need is just a break. Come on, you've earned it!!
Ben: Where does all this stupid garbage end up? Carol: Well, it's taken to a factory, turned into video tape and then they record rock videos onto it. Ben: Wow. Mike: Carol, I need you to lend me a suitcase. Carol: They decided to kick you out of the house? Yes!!! Mike: No. They didn't kick me out of the house. Carol: A girl can dream.
Air hostess: The Captain has extinguished the fastened seat belt sign, please feel free to move aimlessly around the cabin. Jason: Alright Mike, we're on our way. Mike: Yeah. Jason: Hey, you realize this is the first time you and I have taken a trip alone together? Mike: Yeah. Jason: I mean as just two men hanging out.
Mike: Hey Dad, what do you say we look for some chicks, huh? Jason: Very funny. Hey we're gonna have some big fun this weekend though. Mike: Yeah. Jason: The only obligation I have is to make that speech on campus, and that's not going to take very long. Hey, as long as I have to go to the campus anyway, why don't you come with me? I could show you around my college. The place where I had some of the best years of my life. Mike: Na..I don't know Dad. I think maybe I wanna stay at the hotel and find some women. Jason: Mike. Well, if it's women you're interested in, you know, you're missing a bet not coming to this campus. Mike: Yeah? Jason: Oh yeah! Hundreds. And all of them hungry for...knowledge.
Man: Yours too.
Jason: Oh? Sure, enjoy. Man: Thanks. Jason: So Mike. What are your plans? Mike: Ahhh, I'm wide open Dad. This is just gonna be a guys' get-away weekend for me. Jason: You know, I don't just mean for the weekend, I mean for the future too. Like err, how do you see yourself ten years from now? Mike: Ten years...erm...old. Jason: Mike, you'll be twenty six.
Mike: Yeah. Jason: Alright. Two years from now. Mike: Two years err... Jason: Better yet, tell me how you see yourself two days after graduation. What are you gonna be doing? Mike: Oh simple. Me and Eddy and Boner, we're heading down to Fort Lauderdale. Jason: Alright. One week after graduation. Mike: Still partying. Jason: Mike, come on! Before you know, it's going to be graduation. Mike: Come on Dad, it's a whole year and a half away.
Jason: When's the last time, you spent more than fifteen minutes doing your homework? Mike: Dad, it's not the quantity of time that I spend; it's the quality, right?
Jason: You just don't get it do you? I mean would it help if I took away your car until your grades came through? Hostess: Attention! Attention! Excuse me! We have a small emergency... Passenger: Oh no no no, we're gonna crash!!! Hostess: No! No, I don't think so. Passenger: Think? Aarrggghhh!!!!! Hostess: Hey hey, we just got a little medical emergency here. Lighten up! Now, is there a doctor on board?
Jason: I'm a doctor. Hostess: Ah, terrif! Hi! The woman sitting behind you. This guy's wife, she says she's going into labour. Jason: Well, I can take a look at her. Man: Hey Doc. Don't you need a little black bag, or something? Jason: No. I'm a psychiatrist. Man: Oh well Doc. She doesn’t think she's having a baby, she's having a baby. Jason: A psychiatrist is a medical doctor. Man: Oh? Hey...er...don't tell my wife you're a head shrinker, huh?
there. Woman: In the magic carpet lounge? Jason: Yeah. Dan, you know you could be a big help if you'd just take a stroll, alright? Just calm down. Man: That's it. I'll take a nice brisk walk outside. It'll do me good. Jason: Mike, will you watch him please? Mike: Alright Dad, but if he opens the door, he's on his own. Woman: Oooohhh ooohhh oooohhh!!!
Jason: Yes. Are you comfortable Susan? I haven't been comfortable in five months Doctor! Hostess: Doctor. A word in our private team. Jason: Yeah. Woman: No. Jason: What did the captain say? Hostess: He said it would take an hour for the fog to clear, and at least forty five minutes to divert to another airport. Jason: Damn! This baby's coming in an half an hour. You tell your Captain Kirk, he's either got to land this plane, or beam me up an obstetrician. Hostess: Oh. That's so cute. Woman: Aaarrggghh!!!
Man: Baby doll! Woman: Booboo man...Get the hell out of here! You're making me feel awful.
Man: Yeah, but I'm your coach. Woman: If I need a coach, you're the first one I'll call. Now get out!! Jason: Don't take it personally Dan! Man: Yeah. I know, I know Doc. I know. I took Lamonts classes Mike, and I know a woman tends to freak out when she reaches the final stage of labour. The final stage of labour!!! Jason: Mike! Mike: I got it Dad, it's ok. Tell me about those race car classes you took. Woman: Aaarrrgghhhh!
Hostess: Got a sec? Doctor, I have two messages from captain Kirk. First he said he could have you on the ground in sixty five seconds but he doesn't think you'd enjoy the landing. And second, he didn't care for your Captain Kirk joke as much as I did. Woman: AAAaaaarrrrgghhh!! Man: You hear that? Mike: I think everybody heard that. Oh I blew it. That's all there is too it. Don't argue with me kid. I'm a wimp. Go ahead and say it. Mike: Ok. You're a wimp. Man: Who asked you? Wouldn't you be freakin' out if your wife was having a baby? Mike: Heck, I'd freak out if I even had a wife.
Man: Maybe you ought to have a kid, kid.(baby crying) Man: Will you listen to that. Now who would bring a little baby on a plane? The baby! It's a baby! It's my baby! It's our baby! We got a baby!
Man: Honey. Woman: Honey. Honey, we have a son.
Man: A son. Hey Mike, it's a son. Mike: Yeah right! Way to go! Man: He's so...so young. Woman: Yeah! Isn't he beautiful? Jason: Congratulations Pop. Man: Yeah. Jason: Thank you thank you thank you. Mike: Alright Dad! I gotta hand it to you Dad. You really know what you're doing. Jason: Well, I think we have to give some of the credit to the mother... Mike: You know you are really something. Jason: Thank you.

Maggie: Well? Jason: Well, I can't argue with you Maggie, I looked good! Maggie: Well should I rewind it? Jason: No, no, I think three times is enough for one afternoon. Maggie: Well honey, when I see how good you look on TV. You know what occurs to me? Jason: What? Maggie: Maybe you've missed your calling. You know I think you'd be great on Television. Did it ever occur to you? Jason: Maggie. I'm perfectly happy doing what I'm doing. Maggie: Well. Just a thought. Jason: Umm. Here's Jason!! Na.
