Boss: This is your work station; no decorations, no photographs, no mementos, nothing of wonder or beauty whatsoever. Carol: Gee, he's tough. Is he as mean as he seems?Big Al: He doesn't scare me. Carol: (in her head) My hands are shaking; why do I care about this job? If the worst comes to worst, I'll get fired, then I'll just go to... I can't go anywhere. I've got no place to go. Boss: Page fifty two? Three hours and you're only on page fifty two?Carol: I'm sorry, I'm reading as fast as I can.
Boss: Reading?! What have I told you page breakers a hundred times? Page breakers: 17 No reading!! Carol: Sorry. Big Al: Ever since you got here, this place has gotten really tense. Carol: (in her head) This is the first time in twelve years of school, I've ever had a teacher yell at me. wait a minute, he's not my teacher, he's my boss. Oh, if this keeps up he's gonna fail me for sure. Worker: Lunch, dear, lunch. Carol: Oh, sorry.Big Al: Wanna have lunch with me? Carol: Oh, I promised my Mom, we'd have lunch. Big Al: Great, let's go. Carol: No, I mean, my mom, not you. Big Al: Oh. See you in half an hour.
Carol: Who cares if the page break is right and the text is wrong? Boss: I do! Big Al: We could have been so damn good together. Boss: You're standing. You're not supposed to be standing. Is there a problem?Carol: No problem. Boss: Good.Big Al: Smart move. Carol: Yes, there is a problem. I don't care if you fire me, but yes I've been reading. Well it's
hard to stop when you've been doing it since you've been four years old. Boss: Like I always say-I'm only gonna say this... Carol: Look at this! Right here; the term "macroeconomics" is being misused. The author's writing about the buying power of senior citizens, and everybody knows that's microeconomics. And he's a very intelligent writer, so it has to be a typo. Oh, right, maybe not very intelligent; I mean, the supply side theory was supported with very weak... Boss: I'm calling the proof reading room. Big Al: You're dead.Boss: I've been wanting to rub their noses in something like this, ever since the Colin Incident. What's your name? Big Al: Big Al! Boss: Not you. Her. Carol: Seaver. Carol Seaver.
Carol: Today was the best day of my life. Daddy you were so right. Thank you. I made a nice catch! Maggie: Hi honey, I'm home!

Jason: Make breakfast, make coffee, wake up! Better wake up first. Oh. I made breakfast? Did I make coffee? I did. Wonder what else I've done this morning? Mike: Hey! Good morning, Dad.Jason: Hey, Mike, you're up. Mike: Yeah. Jason: I've over-slept, it must be noon. Mike: Oh no, Dad, it's only six thirty. Jason: Oh, well that's terrific, Mike; your very first day of the new semester, and you decide to stay out all night. That's very smart. Mike: Dad, I did not stay out all night! Jason: Well, I call Six thirty am, staying out all night! Mike: Dad, I did not just get in. Look...look...I...I woke up early and I made breakfast. Jason: Who's the girl, Mike? Mike: Dad, do you see a girl in here? Jason: No! I'm talking about the girl in your apartment, that you got up early to make breakfast for. Mike: Dad, I got up early because I'm excited about my first day of class.
Jason: Oh? Aha! So, any class in particular. Mike: Yeah, Dad! Look, Introduction to Acting. I mean, Dad this class is not just a bunch of books and papers and other pointless, useless garbage that Carol lives for. I mean, all that we do is act. Maggie: Jason, who are you "aha-ing" to at this time in the morning? Jason: Well, Mike got up early, he made breakfast, and he's excited about a class. Maggie: Where is she? Mike: Mom, come on!Maggie: Aha! So, what about this acting class?
Carol: Aha! Mike: What is it with you people? You act like I have never cared about school in my life! Maggie: Aha. Mike: Mom, I have been excited about school, dozens of times. Carol: Name one! Jason: Carol, this doesn't concern you. Name one! Mike: Alright, Nude Photography. Now I was up early for that one, and that class didn't start till noon. Jason: That's it, he's taking a nude acting class! Ben: Mike's in a nude acting class?
Kay: Kay McDonnell. Nice to meet you, Mike.Mike: The pleasure's all mine. OK, it's mostly Tony's. So...err...what do you guys hear about
this teacher?Kay: Well, I understand that Professor Thorn is a master of the Strasbourg method. Mike: Oh hey, that's good to know. I mean, if any one of us chokes on our gum, we got it covered. Professor: Now, why did you believe that your about to be scalded? You! Mike: Oh, because...err... Well, 'cause I've had teachers do that to me. Professor: And you! Tony: Because you were acting.
Professor: Precisely. Good morning everyone! My name is Professor Peter Thorn, and welcome to Drama 102. You've just had your first lesson, in how to make an entrance. Come on, you're laughing at my jokes already, very good! Mike: Tony, didn't you hear, there's no papers, tests, or anything. Tony: Oh! Just in case I wanna look something up later. Professor: So, is acting merely the ability to memorize lines and not bump into the furniture? Oh, by the way, you should all know who said that. Class: Spencer Tracy. Professor: Very good!... Mike: Can I borrow a piece of paper? And a pen.
Professor: We'll have to wait until the grades are due, won't we Mr. Seaver?
Ben: Hey Mike, you wanna shoot some hoops?Mike: No thanks Benny. I've got a long night of reading ahead of me, alright?
Ben: Mike, Mom and Dad aren't around. Don't pull this stuff with me. Mike: Benny listen, is Carol up in her room?Ben: Yes, she's crying about a new zit. Mike: Oh, well listen, I've got to see her.Ben: On purpose? Mike: Yeah, I need to use her dictionary. Ben: The fifty pound one! The bug killer! Mike: Yes. Yeah Benny, that's the one.
Ben: The roaches are back, huh?Mike: Benny look, I have to look up a few words...err... Hey nothing gets by you, Benny. You know, if you go upstairs and you ask Carol for that dictionary, I'll let you squish the ones in the pizza box. Ben: Deal! Carol!
Maggie: Hi, honey! Jason: Hey! Maggie: What are you surprising me with tonight?
Kay: The East Village Rep. is holding trials for Oedipus next week. Professor: Oh! Wonderful challenge for the young actor. And if any of you boys should be lucky enough to get cast in Oedipus, don't forget to invite your mother. Tony: I heard they're holding auditions for After the Fall, this weekend at the Soho Theatre, in the alley.Professor: Ah. It's a wonderful play; Arthur Miller's best, don't you agree Mr. Seaver? Mike: Err...well actually...errm...I prefer, Death of a Salesman. Professor: Yes, so do I.Mike: Because that's the one I read, last night.Professor: So, any more auditions? Mr. Seaver.
Maggie: He didn't show up for dinner, dessert, or even a snack. That's it, it's been twenty seven hours, I've been a good sport, but now it's time to find out what's bothering my little boy. Jason: Maggie! Honey... Maggie: And don't say anything logical or correct that I'll know is right in my heart of hearts! Jason: Honey, I was just gonna say... Maggie: Jason, sometimes you amaze me. Our little boy's in agony, and you're about to stuff your face.
Where are you going? Jason: I'm taking Mike a snack. Maggie: But, you said it was a bad idea to go up there! Jason: Yes I know. I'm inconsistent, Maggie. It's part of the wackiness that makes me so damned interesting.
Mike: (reading from a play) "When he himself might his quietest make with a bare bodkin. Who would fardols bare..." Hey, there's only one word in this sentence I don't have to look up. Come in! Maggie: We brought you something to eat. Mike: Oh. Ah...thanks. Just put it down, I'll get to it later. Maggie: What do we do now?
Maggie: Well Mike, what if you only thought you were making a fool of yourself, and you really weren't. A lot of times, your father thinks he's made a total fool out of himself and err... What
else happened in class? Mike: Alright, Ok, today...like I brought in this audition for... this audition notice for a television commercial...a real job! McGregor’s Fish and Chips. Maggie: Oh, I know their commercials, "If it smells bad, you're in the wrong place!" Or something like that... Mike: Dad, now you see how you and I are staring at Mom, like she's out of her mind; well that is how the whole class stared at me today!! Jason: Well...
Mike: You know I...I just don't get it! I don't get it! You know, I feel like I don't fit in. And I have always been able to fit in with everybody! And at Dewey, even though Principal Dewitt would...would punish me for four years every single day, I know that deep down, the man liked me! Jason: He loathed you. Maggie: He did. Mike: Well, it's just that the kids in my class know more, and have done more than I ever will. you know, I think I'm just kidding myself about this whole acting thing. Jason: So, what are you gonna do about it? Mike: I don't know. I'm supposed to ask you that. Jason: Well, we can't answer that, Mike. Maggie: Well, speak for yourself, Jason.
Mike: What? Auditioner: What are you auditioning for, fish or chip?
Mike: Oh, well...err... Are chips making personal appearances?Auditioner: Who'd come out to see a chip, huh? They wanna see Swimmy, the happy fish. Mike: Oh, oh, alright, well Swimmy it is. Auditioner: Excellent choice. Have a seat. Break a fin. Mike: Ah, is this seat taken?Man: Sit! Sit! So, my friend auditioned for this a little earlier and told me all about it. They make you wear fins and gills and lie on your stomach and grin like crazy, with a hook in your mouth, while all the chips sing, "our fish don't stink!"
Mike: Ah, well...err... hey, whatever they make me do is fine, 'cause after the way I've been humiliated this week, it doesn't matter.Man: Wow, so you're married. Wow, look at the gills on that one! Mike: Hey, wait a minute, I know them. What the heck are they doing here? I mean, they've been in plays and summer stock, and they laughed at me when I told 'em about this audition. I mean they're no better than I am. Hey, have I been a chump! Auditioner: Come on people! The part of Swimmy has already been cast. Actors: Hey! What! Man: Hey, I've been eating worms for three days!
Mike: Hey, you bet, and you know, thanks and... You guys letting me make that decision on my own, it's really changed my life. Maggie: Well Mike, I guess we can finally say that we trust you. Mike: Oh, well thanks, Mom. Girl: Mike!!! We're still waiting for the coffee. Mike: Oh...err...just one minute. Jason: Just one second! Girl 2: Can I come out now?
Mike: Oh, there you are! Oh, hey, let me help you out. Here, come on out here. I'll be right up, OK? Maggie: Look, Mike... Mike: Mom, Dad, listen, you know if I weren't in that stage in life where you trusted me and wanted me to make my own decisions, I would feel the need to explain here...but I don't. Jason: Hey, hold on! Maggie: Do you think you can walk out of her without.. Mike: Got ya!

沪江英语Ken: So, what we have is a stock, which should yield significant profits, Dr. Seaver. Jason: Please, call me Jason. Ken: But, I also have to tell you that all stocks can go down, Jason. Grandma: Son, Ken handles all of our investments; we swear by him. Wally: Oh, gosh, darn it, we do! Jason: Dr. Seaver'll be fine. Maggie: Ken, I think we've heard enough. Jason: Yeah, we're not interested. Maggie: We'll invest. Jason: Oh? Maggie: Excuse us. Jason, your mother went to the trouble of brining her stock broker all the way out here. Jason: Maggie, he's just a boy. He doesn't even shave; I already give money to a kid who doesn't shave, his name's Mike. Maggie: Fine! You embarrass your mother. Jason: Ken, look, we...errm... We'd love to invest. Ken: Well that's great. Well, I'll need a cheque for a thousand Dollars. Carol: Hello everybody! Grandma: Hey Carol! Carol: Grandpa Wally! Grandma: There you are! Where have you been? Carol: Shopping with friends. I didn't know you'd be here. Jason: Yeah. You saved some big time money, Carol. Grandma: Can you meet Ken? Stock broker, recent Harvard graduate. Carol Seaver. Ken Single. Ken: Oh, Singleton. Hi Carol. I've heard a lot about you. Carol: Hi.
Grandma: Oh, I'm very proud of my beautiful, intelligent and completely unattached, Grand daughter. Carol: Well, I've got a lot of stuff to do upstairs. Bye. Grandma: But Carol... Jason: Alright Ken! Here you are...one thousand Dollars! Ken: Thank you Dr. Seaver. Oh...you forgot to sign it. Jason: Oh! Imagine that. Alright. Ken: Well, Mrs. Seaver, Wally, Urma, I hope to see you soon. Grandma: Oh, hopefully very soon. Jason: Bye bye Ken. Maggie: Bye Ken.Grandma: Well, what do you think? Jason: Well, Mom, I think it could be a risky investment...
Grandma: Well, I never expected you to invest. You're usually so...so...so... Maggie: Cheap? Grandma: Right. Jason, I'm really worried about Carol. Ever since her young man died in that
terrible accident, she hasn't gone out at all; and that's not right. She needs someone to do for her, what you did for me after Dad died. You got me out. If it hadn't been for you, I never would have met Wally. Wally: Yeah! And that one act makes up for all your other shortcomings. Jason: Mom, Maggie, listen if I thought that fixing her up with Ken here was necessary, believe me, I'd gladly pay a thousand Dollars. In fact, I did.Grandma: So Maggie, here's my idea; Wally and I are gonna throw a little party on Saturday night. And I will tell Carol that Ken is just dying to ask...
Jason: Excuse me! Grandma: ...her out. And I'll mention that the party is a nice, safe place for a girl... Jason: Mother! Grandma: ...to be. And I'll get Ken to ask her out. Maggie: Oh, how are you gonna get him to do that? Grandma: Well, I will tell him that Jason wants to invest more. Jason: Hold it! Wally: Boy, you are tight.Jason: It's not the money. It's just that these lies aren't necessary. I mean, look, if you wanna
Grandma: You can't come. Carol: I can't go out with this guy. Maggie: Why not? Carol: Well, because I'm already seeing someone.Jason: You are? Carol: Yes. Someone from work. And, well, we promised each other that we wouldn't see other people. Wally: Oh?
