Ben: You could come play some video games with me. Mike: Bennie, a college man has much more important things to do on a Saturday night than destroying galaxies with his dweebie little brother. Ben: I'll buy. Mike: Let’s roll.
Ben: Wow. You just mad intergalactic assassin! Mike: Words cannot express my joy. Ben: Want another burrito? Mike: No. I'm still tasting that last one. You know Bennie, there's got to be more to life than working in a stupid car wash and eating burritos that repeat. Ben: So get another job. Mike: I've been looking for a new job for the passed three weeks. You know a job is not easy to find. Ben: Sure it is. Excuse me; do you need any help here?
Man: Yes, I can help. Ben: No no. Who do we see to get this gopher a job? Man: Job? Ben: Yeah, who do we see for a job? Man: Job? Ah sorry, don’t carry pork chop, but we've got pork sausage and pork rind. Mike: No,no. Bennie, Bennie, never mind. Ben: Do you need other people to work here? Man: Work here, yes. I work here. Mike: No Bennie, forget it. Ben: Work here. Him. Man: Ah, I get for you mini jar. Mike: Mini jar? Ben: The manager. That would be great. Mike: I, I, that would be good. Ben: When the mini jar gets here, let me do all the talking. Mike: I'll do my own talking, alright. Manager: Ah, well which one of you men is looking for work? Ben: He is. Let me tell you about the lad.Manager: I'm Nick Simpson, and you're? Ben: Mike Seaver. Mike: Mike Seaver. Manager: Oh, and this is your agent, right? Mike: Right.Ben: Ah, what’s an agent?
Ben: he makes me walk home after I find him a new job. Maggie: Who?
Ben: Me. Maggie: No. Who got a new job? Ben: Mike. He started fifteen minutes ago. Let’s see how long he lasts without me. Carol: You got Mike a job? Ben: Yeah. Haven’t you been listening? Jason: I confess Ben. I haven’t been listening either. Come on, start over. Ben: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Don’t try and cheer me up. Jason: Enough about the jokes. Give me a little exposition here.Ben: Ok. Mike's working the graveyard shift at the Stop and Run. Maggie: The what shift? Ben: The graveyard shift. Maggie: I don’t think I like that. Ben: You don’t like it! You didn’t have to walk home.
Maggie: No, no. A lot of robberies happen at those stores, and most of them happen late at night. Ben: Relax. He's got a gun under the counter. What could happen?
Raj: And remember all cash in overnight machine, or they kill you for sure. Mike: Alright, I’ll remember that. Raj: OK. These are Ho Ho's, Yu Who's, Ding Dongs. Mike: Wow.Raj: No longer carry Wow Wow's. Nobody buy. (Phone rings) Raj: No. It was for me. From girlfriend Hiya. She is calling to say I’m being on her mind. Mike: Ah, that is kinda cute.Raj: Tomorrow night, not having to call. This last night on graveyard, thanks be to you. Tomorrow night it will be.. Mike: You Who Dong Dong? Raj: Ah, I show you how to handle customer. Watch closely. Mike: OK. Raj: May I help you please? So much. Ahh, Nameste. Customer: Nameste. (They speak in Hindi) Customer: No Wow Wow!

Mike: Mum. Maggie: Oh, Hi Mike.
Mike: Mum look. Alright, I’ll ask my boss. But I know what his answers going to be. Maggie: His answer to what dear? Mike: To me getting off the stupid graveyard shift. Maggie: Oh if that’s what you think you should do. Mike: Right. Maggie: He he he. I should be ashamed of myself. The kid didn’t stand a chance.
Mike: Yo, Raj. Raj: Yo pork chop. How are you doing? Mike: Oh, very well to be seeing you here. But not so pleased to be seeing you at work. Raj: Ha. I am double shifting. Manager: Raj. You've been working here too long. I'm actually beginning to understand you. Aren’t you a shade early? Like about twelve hours.
Mike: Yeah, listen. That’s kind of what I want to ask you about. Manager: Hang on a second. Jerry, I’m glad you're here. Grab an apron please. Raj is about to drop. Oh and Jerry, this is Mike Seaver here. He'll be taking over graveyard. Jerry: Oh really? Mike: Hi yeah. Manager: And don’t scare him about working graveyard with your silly little robber story.Jerry: Come on. I wouldn’t do that. Not on his first week. Mike: What silly little robbery story?Manager: Oh forget it. So what's on your mind? Mike: Listen Nick, I know that I am new here, so I don’t even expect you to consider this, but I told my mum that I would at least ask and make the request.Manager: No, no, no. I cannot make you the manager. Not in the first week. Only kidding. Mike: Right. Well, see, I want to be able to honestly tell my mother that I asked to be put on a safer shift. So there. I asked. You listened. Thanks.
Jason: Quickly. Mike: Well dad, I mean has someone ever treated you really nice, because of who you are,
and not what you did or how well you did it? Jason: Mike, Mike, Mike. Does this involve a girl? I'm sorry, I’m just trying to make sense out of something the boys trying to share with us.Mike: Look, I got to go.Maggie: Mike, you're not making any sense. Jason: Are you upset? Mike: Hey, how could I be upset? I just got a new job, where I’m kept warm, I work safe hours and I wear a puke blue jacket. Maggie: A girl! Jason: Oh so you weren’t thinking that?
Mike: Yo Raj. How are you doing? Raj: Mike. I'm kind of busy right now.
Mike: Yeah well listen Raj. I really want to apologize for.. Raj: Busy. Busy, busy. Mike: Hey jerry man. How’s it going?Jerry: I'm here. Mike: Listen Jerry, I really wanted to say that I’m sorry that you and Raj have to go back to this graveyard shift just because I’m here. Jerry: hey, I’ve been around. I understand that this is how it works. Mike: How what works? Jerry: Ha ha ha ha! Yeah, right! Mike: I mean, I won’t have any part of this. Hey Nick. Manager: I'll be right with you Mike. One second right. Here we go Winnie. Now is this the one. Winnie: Oh I can’t remember if this is the one, or the one next to it.
his dot falling off? Manager: Well were you making fun of him when you were imitating his accent? Mike: No. I was just fooling around. Manager: So was I. Mike: Well then I'm a little confused. Manager: You see, if I were the kind of man who bragged, I would point out my six, actually seven Minority Employer of The Year awards. You see those. Mike: I had no idea. Manager: So I give the new white kid a break. Does that make me a bigot? The bottom line is, have I treated them any different from how I treat you?Mike: I guess not. Manager: Have you talked to Jerry and Raj about this? Mike: Yeah.
Manager: And? Mike: And Jerry says that's just the way it works.Manager: Smart boy. You see they have no problem, I have no problem, so how could you have a problem? Mike: I don’t,I don’t. I guess I was just a little confused. Manager: You know what? You would be good management material. Mike: Oh great, what’s for dinner? I'm starved. Maggie: Burritos. Mike: You know, I really should watch my saturated fats.Jason: Hey Mike, shouldn’t we finish that conversation we started before you left for work? Mike: About what? Maggie: Well we are fairly sure it wasn’t about girls. Hey Jason? Jason: More sure than I’ve been about anything in my life.
Maggie: You asked. Jason: Well so what. He should take advantage of this guys prejudice? Maggie: No. Jason: Well then what are you saying? Mike: She’s saying that Raj should get shot at three in the morning. Maggie: I am not. And I’m against anybody being shot at any hour of the day or night. And who the hell is Raj? Jason: Maggie, this is about unfair treatment. Maggie: You want him working at three in the morning with a gun under the counter? Jason: No, of course I don’t. That is not what I’m talking about.Maggie: Jason, Jason, I hate prejudice. But what would it really change to send our son back to the graveyard....shift. Jason: But this is wrong.
Maggie: You're right. Jason: Yes I am. Yes. You know something else? So are you. Mike: Well that sure clears everything right up for me. Maggie: I wish this had been about girls.
(The Next Afternoon) Mike: Hey Jerry. Your shift is over. Come on. Alright. Jerry: if Nick asks, tell him I’m stacking the soft drinks alright? Mike: Right. Your change is a buck sixteen. Customer: I thought they only moved that fast when they were carrying a TV or football. Mike: Funny. Manager: What the hell is this? Jerry! Jerry! Mike: Ah Nick, Jerry just left.
Jason: Wait a minute. I was not right Maggie. I don’t want Mike endangering himself. Mike: Dad, don’t worry. Jason: I have to worry. You're my son. Mike: I quit. Maggie: Mike, no matter how old you get, you cannot quit being our son. Mike: I don’t mean I quit our family. I mean I quit our job. And uh, I really want to thank you two for showing me what's right. And Carol, where are the stinking wanted ads? Maggie: Jason, he thinks that we showed him what was right. Jason: I won’t tell him if you don’t.

沪江英语Mike: Hey Ben, if this Amy girl that you are so hot for already said yes to the movie, then what's your problem? Yes! Alright, the pressure's on. You miss this, you've got C A R O. Ben: My problem is that mum and dad have never really officially said that I can go out on dates yet Mike: Yes, my young hornball, but have they officially said that you cannot go out on these dates? Ben: No. Mike: So then what’s your problem? Shoot the ball. Alright alright. Oh hoo. That’s C A R O, and I've only got a C. Ok, here we got. Yes. Ben: But Mike, mum and dad have got that long standing rule that if you don’t ask permission... Mike: Bennie, Bennie, Bennie, that’s for when toilet roll man walks in the door. Julie: Your dinners on. Mike: Alright, let’s just ask Julie. Ben: no way. Julie: Ask me what? Ben: Nothing. Mike: It’s about girls. Ben: Mike! Julie: Bennie, you can ask me. I probably know more about girls than Mike does. Mike: I doubt that. And yet I don’t. Ben: Well it’s kind of a guy thing. Julie: Well I’m sure that whatever Mike says it will be good advice. Mike: Oh thank you. Julie: For what? Mike: For believing in me. Julie: What’s not to believe in? Ben: What the heck was all that crud? Mike: Manners Bennie, manners. Shoot the ball. Alright. Oh hoo.

Ben: I think he’s going to side with mum and dad. Mike: No, no, no, no. Ben listen. If you make the shot, then you go out with Amy. And if you don’t then, uh, I have a secret relationship with Julie. Ben: Uh! Mike: Just kidding. Alright. Ben: Yeah!
Maggie and Jason: There you are! Mike: Ahh! What am I panicking for? I'm just getting baloney.Jason: Sorry Mike, we thought you were Ben. Maggie: We're a little upset. Mike: Hey if I thought I was Ben then I’d be a little upset too. Jason: Well do you know where your brother is? Mike: Well its midnight. My guess would be in bed. Jason: He’s not. He’s snuck out. Maggie: On a date. Mike: No! Well that little hornball. Maggie: Amy Bowen’s mother called and wanted to talk to Amy. I said she's not here. She said, well there must be some mistake. So I went in to talk to Ben and what do you think I found? Mike: Three pillows. Jason: Two pillows. What do you know about this Mike?
Ben: Yes, yes, yes. Jason: What you did last night was wrong. Now we have to know where you are at all times, and that’s not negotiable. Alright? Now what do you have to say for yourself? Ben: Just that I love you both very very much. Jason: You don’t have the chops for that Mike stuff, ok. But you're getting there, and that scares me. Ben: Thank you. Jason: That was not a compliment Ben. Come on, now I want an explanation. Ben: Any Bowen is so pretty. I just wanted to go out with her. Just her and me for a whole movie. Which by the way was rated G.Jason: Well Ben, don’t think I don’t remember what its like being a twelve and a half year old boy. Ben: All I know is that whenever I see Amy shoot those red banks out of her eyes, I just melt.
Jason: Well there is something about red heads, isn’t there. For me it was freckles. Ben: What? Jason: Yeah, I can still remember Rosalind Bladder hanging from that jungle gym. Freckles from here to Tuesday.Ben: Amy has this really cute way of touching your arm when you're reaching for a pencil. Jason: Like it was an accident? Ben: Yeah, but she knows she's doing it.Jason: Oh Ben, they all know.Ben: Dad I know I wouldn’t have done any of that bad stuff if I had been able to think.Jason: Don’t be so hard on yourself Ben. Ben: But I disappointed you. Jason: Look, you went to a movie. That’s all you did. With a girl. I'd be a little disappointed if you didn’t. Ben: Dad, I snuck....go on.
Carol: Dad, I know what I did was wrong.. Jason: You bet it was.Carol: But if.. Jason: Did you know the rules? Carol: Well yes. Jason: Did you break the rules? Carol: Yes.. Jason: Were you under the control of alien beings? Carol: Hu! Jason: No. Then you are grounded for two weeks. Carol: Two weeks! Dad I’ve learned my lesson. You have my assurance that this will not happen again. Jason: Wait a minute. That’s exactly what you said the last time this happened. So you are
grounded fro a full month. Are we clear?

I made an impression on the man.Carol: What are you so happy about squirt? Ben: My punishment. Carol: Yeah, well I guess a month of grounding doesn’t mean much to someone with your limited horizons.Mike: Dad grounded you for a month? Carol: Uh hu. Mike: You know my respect for that man grows more and more every day.Carol: Why? What did you get Ben? Ben: Well, I don’t think I should tell you. Carol: Come on Ben. How long were you grounded for?

A stinking warning!Ben: Plus my word that I would never do it again.Carol: Well pardon me while I pop my pantyhose.
Carol: Mum! Maggie: Carol, it won’t do you any good to appeal your punishment to me. Your father spoke for both of us. Carol: mother, there is something I must tell you. There is a sexist male in out midst. Maggie: What sleazy thing did mike say to you? Carol: Mum, I’m talking about a bigger pig. A man you married.Maggie: Carol, that is very disrespectful.
