Producer: OK, we are rolling and...queue her!
Maggie: Jason, honey, can I freshen that up for you? Jason 2: Sure, Maggs. Maggie: I just can't do it.Dick: Oh, why? Maggie: I can't call him Jason. I am a journalist, I can't say things that aren't true. Steve: Maggs, babe, I thought we went through all this. Dick: Maggie, I am in the image business; now I would never tell you how to do a news story because I'm not a news guy; but please, let me do my job here.Steve: Let's get some viewers watch you do the news, by making a great promo here. What do you say? Jason 2: Hey, I'm game. Producer: Still rolling.Maggie: Honey.

Mike: I can't believe it. I'm an actor and they won't even let me play me.Ben: The kid who's playing me is a full blown weenie. Carol: What about the girl they have playing me! I mean, does she look anything like I did when I was twelve? Mike: It's hard to tell, she was sitting down.Ben, Mike and Carol: Hey, Dad, Dad!! Jason 2: Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, I'm on a five! Ben: Boy, this is weird. Ben, Mike and Carol: Hey, Dad, Dad, Dad!! Jason: Just zip it, all of you! Mike: Dad, come on!
Thelma: Well it's tough finding things to say, when the only things I could say could get me fired.Maggie: Well maybe I'm gonna go and say a few things that could get me fired! Excuse me. I
can't. Thelma: Oh, sure you can. Take those free-lance writing assignments I always hear you turning down. Maggie: No, I'd love to, but I can't. Thelma: You said you wanted to be home for your baby, here's your chance. Maggie: No, it's not.Thelma: Why not? Maggie: Because we can't afford to have both of us working at home. Thelma: Well couldn't Jason... Maggie: No. No, Jason and I have a deal and he loves having his practice there and I just can't mess that up. Thelma: Well how do you know he loves working at home? Maggie: Because he just spent thousands of Dollars re-doing his office...and if you know my
husbands, you know that's love.
Jason: Oh, it's just not the same. Maggie: Jason! Jason: Oh, in here honey. Maggie: Wow, this place looks great. Jason: Yep. So, how was work today? Maggie: Oh, it was, you know...work.

Maggie: Oh, it was nothing really. I was just thinking. Jason: Yeah, me too. I...errm... Well what were you thinking?
Jason: Of course. Maggie: Errm...like this? Jason: This. Maggie: Well I see...book cases, you know? More of a country look. Jason: Maggie, that's the way it was before. Maggie: Yeah.

沪江英语Jason: No paper again this morning! Maggie: That's five days in a row. Jason: And more importantly that's two Dollars I'm deducting from next months bill. Maggie: What, no interest? Jason: Two Dollars and fourteen Cents. Maggie: Who are you calling? Jason: Excuse me, this isn't directed at you personally, but what the hell of two bit newspaper are you people running down there? Five mornings in a row there's nothing in my driveway!! Yes, I checked the bushes...yes the roof. No, we don't have a pool. No you can't put me on hold! I want this taken care of right away! I want a rebate for two Dollars fourteen Cents. It's interest. Hello. He put me on hold. Maggie: It's not like we couldn't afford a pool, you know? Jason: Oh, yes, yes, my address; fifteen Robin Hood Lane. Oh, yes, I would love to talk to the paper boy directly. What's his number? Don't run your mind games on me, that's my number! What's this bozo's name? Newsagent: Michael, how's my fledgling paper boy doing, this fine pristine morning? Mike: Hey, OK Philly. How you doing? Philly: Oh, quite satisfactorily. But then again, carrying out the sacred mandated first amendment is my raison d'etre. Mike: Hey, hey, you took the words right out of my mouth. Philly: Here you go. Mike: Alright. Thanks. Philly: Don't exhume just yet. Mike: Hey, how could I? I haven't had my coffee. Wait a minute, Philly, I thought I was only supposed to deliver two hundred papers. Philly: Exactamundo. Mike: Ah, but...ah...Philly, two hundred papers didn't look like this, all last week. Philly: Sunday edition, Michael. Mike: Really? Philly: You think that it's merely capricious that we initiate paper carriers on Monday? Nay, nay!
Jason: Mike. Mike: Hey, Dad. Jason: You got a job! You didn't tell us. Mike: Dad, I mean, every time I tell you that I've done something responsible, you always give me that look, and you get so excited and you say, that's my boy! I'm just trying to avoid that. Jason: Done! Where's my stinking paper been all week?Mike: It's right up in my place, Dad; it's the first one that I deliver!
Jason: Yeah, well those are my papers, you owe my two Dollars. Mike: What, no interest? Jason: That hurts, Mike that really hurts.Mike: Dad, I... Jason: I know! I know! You got papers to deliver! You got a job! Ow! Go! Go! That's my boy! Hey, where's my stinking paper?
Mike: Oh, I am exhausted! Guess how many papers I delivered today? Carol: One. Mike: No, two hundred! Two O O! And we're talking Sunday papers here, Carol. We're talking huge, mountainous, heavy papers. This is the hardest fifty Bucks I've ever made! You know, I think I was tricked. Fifty Dollars a day is fine when there's no news, but what's with these world leaders? I mean...why do these world leaders wait until the weekend to spout off?
Carol: Mike, it might look like I'm leaving the room right now because I don't care to listen to your self-pitying babble; but that's not the case! I'm just so moved by your sad story that I have to go to another room and weep. Mike: Thanks a lot, Carol.Carol: Mike, I'm not a fool! I know what you're thinking. Mike: You do? Carol: Alright, first the sad story, then the mention of fifty Dollars I couldn't miss it, and then coup de grace, your admission that you couldn't handle the job. Mike: So, what do I think this means?Carol: Isn't it obvious?
Carol: You want me to take over your paper round! And pay me a measly fifty dollars a day while you keep the rest of what you're really paid. Well it won't work, deliver your own stinking papers, all two O O of them. Mike: Well you're nuts, Carol! Really nuts! It never occurred to me to skim off the top. But now that it does... Carol: When one runs a scam, Mike, one should pray on one dumber than oneself, if one can find one. Ben: Morning Mike. Mike: Hey, morning Ben. Ben. Hey, hey, hey, how is one? I mean...err...how are you this morning? Ben: Ha?
Ben: What? Mike: You're thinking that with this paper round thing, they're practically giving money away!
Ben: Na, actually I was thinking of Laura-Lynn in a bikini. Mike: And wouldn't she be impressed with a guy who's pulling down twenty five Bucks a day?
Mike: Ben! Benny, come on, you're not listening to me; I am offering you half of my paper route!
Mike: Yes.
Ben: And you're giving me half of it? Mike: Yes, a mere two hundred papers, and that's twenty five Bucks a day. Ben: Hey, this is great! Mike: Oh oh, wait a second, Ben; Mom and Dad are never gonna let you have a job at your age. Ben: Well, I won't tell 'em. Oh, come on, Mike, be a pal and don't tell either. Mike: Well, OK. But remember, you owe me.
Mike: See ya. Ben: Twenty five Bucks a day, it aint worth it! Gary: Hey Benny, how's it going? Ben: It's not going anywhere until it dries out. Gary: You're gonna be late for school.
Ben: Gary, you don't have any idea what it's like to be a paper boy, do you? Gary: Ride a bike, throw a few papers, make big Bucks. Ben: Ha. But you get wet. Gary: Hey, if you don't want to do it, I'd do it. I mean what's it pay? Five Bucks? Ten Bucks?Ben: Ten Bucks! I get...ten Bucks. OK, Gary, you can have my paper route. Gary: Wait a minute, why are you giving up all this money? Ben: Ah, it's kind of personal. Gary: Really? Ben: Medical reasons. Well from riding my bike so much, I got paper boy's crotch. Ooh... All the money in the world isn't worth anything, if you have to walk like this. So we got a deal? Gary: Yeah! Let's not shake on it. Ben: Don't worry, I hear it too.
Gary: Hey, you're walking better. Ben: Than what? Oh, oh, well, right, I switched to boxer shorts. Gary: Wait a minute! This is work!
Mike: How are you Philly? Philly: Despondent. Mike: Huh? Philly: Over your performance...or the lack of there in of.Mike: Wait, I still don't... Philly: Michael. While not delivering forty two papers may seem like a small transgression, let us suppose, you and I that one of your subscribers, thus denied, is a man this close to solving the essential questions which we wrestle with as enlightened beings. Mike: What forty two papers?
Philly: The one's for which you will not receive remuneration. Mike: Wait, wait a minute! Would you talk English?Philly: Sure. You throw away forty two papers, you lose money. Do it again, you lose your job!
Mike: Benny, we must talk!Ben: I must chew. Mike: I'm serious Benny. I just got reamed out there! Forty two people did not get their papers yesterday! Ben: Really? Mike: Yes, but you let me down! Ben: Well, how do you know they came from my half of the route? Mike: Your half? Benny, there's only been complaints from your half of the route! Benny look, what am I paying you fifty Dollars a day for? Ben: You're not, you're paying me twenty five.
Jason: Well, it's time I told you the truth, Maggie; my new office was a lie. Every morning I get all dressed up and I go hide in the garage and wait until quitting time. Maggie: Aha?
Jason: Ah, no, to tell you the truth I messed up and cured my four o' clock. Maggie: Mmm. Jason: Not really. He was as sick as ever. No, I just had some cancellations so I thought I'd come home and we could have a little quality time. Maggie: This isn't part of it, is it? Ben, what happened? Ben: Errm...I had a sloppy lunch. Jason: Hold it! Maggie: Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan... Stinky's Mom: Mrs. Seaver we have a problem... Stinky: I didn't fink on you, Ben, they found coleslaw in my underwear. Stinky's Dad: Bernard, your mother's talking! Jason: Mrs. Sullivan, what happened... Stinky’s mom: Because of Ben, our little boy was taken advantage of.
Maggie: Taken advantage of? Stinky’s dad: And covered in pudding! Stinky’s mom: All because of Ben's paper route. Jason: Impossible! Ben doesn't even have a paper route! Mike: Hey Mom, when's dinner? Jason: Mike has a paper route. Mike: Never mind. Maggie: Stick around. Stinky’s dad: All I know is, my son delivered two hundred papers for a Dollar a day! Mike: A Dollar! I was just making sure that I heard that right. Stinky’s dad: While Ben was keeping either nine Dollars, or twenty four Dollars for doing nothing! Jason: What's going on here, Mike? Mike: Ah...don't you mean, Ben, Dad?Jason: No, I mean, Mike!
Maggie: Mike! Mike: Mom, we are talking about the free enterprise system, OK? I mean, I sold something, I
kept a little profit for myself; I mean, is that wrong? Mom, I should be praised, not punished! I mean, I be Lee Iacocca’s parents don't ground him every time he moves a Chrysler. Jason: Mike! Mike: Dad, Dad, look, punish me if you want to, but all I did was participate in a system that makes me... heck I'll just say it...darn proud to be an American. Carol: It's Gary's parents on the phone. They wanna talk to you as soon as Ben's crotch heals.
Carol: That's all Mike got? He has to do his own paper route from now on! Jason: That's all he got. Carol: What happened to justice? What happened to equity? What happened to my punishing, vindictive, petty parents? Maggie: Oh, we're still here.
Mike: Alright. Arrgghh! Come on! No, no, no! Dad, my car won't start, can I borrow yours to take my papers. I mean, I'll have 'em back before you have to leave for work. Jason: Yeah, sure Mike. Mike: Thanks. Carol: Ha! Jason: Hundred Dollars.Mike: What? Jason: Car rental. Mike: Dad, I only make fifty Dollars a day. Jason: Mike, come on, it's that free enterprise thing that you explained so well yesterday.Mike: Dad, we're family. Jason: But first, we're Americans. Mike: Mom, can I borrow your car? Maggie: Sure.Mike: Thank you Mommy. Maggie: I could use the money. Mike: What? Maggie: Two hundred Dollars. It's a station wagon. Mike: What is it with you people?
Stinky: Thanks Ben, you can treat me like a chump, any day.
Mike: Shut up Ben, just shut up!
