So, Katie, what's the new situation going to be like?
Well, Ken, Vicky is crying and her friend is trying to console her.
------------------------

I feel bad about breaking up with Cody.
Don't. You two were polar opposites.
I hurt his feelings.
He'll be fine. There are plenty of fish in the sea.
There he is! I'm going to hide!
The coast is clear. Come on out. He's in the parking lot talking to a girl.
Who is she?
Vicky, you still like him!

No, I just don't like her.
Oh, brother.

Woo... life can be so complicated sometimes.
Dramatic.
Yes.

But you know...
What?
Life goes on.
Yes, it does.

What do you think of this title of the dialog today "Opposites Attract?"
I think it's true.
It is? For instance?
For instance... um.... Well, let's see... I grew up in a part of the United States where blonds were the majority.
Oh, okay.
I actually like women with black hair.
Hhoo...
Oh, really.
Always, ever since I was a little kid. Yeah... I've always liked dark hair for some reason.
That's interesting. Katie?

Well, I do think opposites attract and hmm... my reason is kind of sad.
Oh!
Oh.
Well, you know, I think the divorce rate is very high in the Unites States...
Uh-huh.
And I think a lot of it has to do with opposites attracting because usually opposites attract because they want the qualities of the other person.
Uh-huh.
Because they don't have those qualities.
All right.
So if I'm shy, I want to an outgoing person. But actually shy people have a difficult time around outgoing people.
Oh....
Hmm.... So I think opposites do attract but be careful.
You have seen some cases like that?
Yes, I have.

What do you think, Ken?
Well, I wish I had time to talk about it.

So, Jeff, what's the new situation going to be like?
Well, this time, they are two mice running around an office.

Flop cheese hunters.com offered me a job.
A word to the wise: Don't work there.
Why not?
It's a sinking ship.
The manager told me it was touch and go for a while, but that business was picking up.
They're having trouble importing goods, but that's just the tip of the iceberg.
I'll keep that in mind. It's good advice from the wise.

You can call it god advice (admice).
Arigato-gozai-mouse.

You know what?
Uh-huh.
Maybe those mice are living in a company that is sinking ship.
Hmmm...
Hmm... I don't think so. They seem to pretty content, pretty happy.
Oh, that’s true.
So it probably isn't a sinking ship.

Maybe they are just mischievous.
Oh,... mischievous.
ミスチヴァス
マイチヴィス
Ugh.....

Thank you.

Well, that's about it for today. Thank you, Katie.

So Katie, what's the new situation going to be like today?
They be pirates. They are pirates.
Oh!

We're going to a party. Want to come, Jenny?
I'm steering clear of parties this weekend.
Oh, you should come! Everyone is going to be there!
I have to make plans for conquering Treasure Island.
Make plans tomorrow.
Time and tide wait for no pirates. Don't you know that?
Except us.
Sure! Okay, I like that. Let's go.
Now you are talking.

Well...
I like doing pirates.
Pirates do a lot of "ugh!!!!"

So, Jeff...
Yes.
What's the new situation going to be like this time?
Oh, you're going to like this. So much fun.
A walrus is talking to a fish.
Oh, I love that.
I knew you would.

They talk, right?
Right.
Wow!

                                                      • -


You know, Suziko, I feel like I missed the boat.
What do you mean, Wally?
I never finished school.
Why don't you go back and get your degree?
Nah. I'd feel like a fish out of water.
Don't give up the ship. Take online courses.
Okay. I'll do that.
You're going to go far!

Wow! Maybe as far as Hawaii.
Wouldn't it be too hot for you?
I guess you are right.

I think I can tell everybody that was really hard to record.
Yeah, it was.
Let's see... Jeff has to put his head in the water first and say a few lines. Then Katie has to put her head in it.
Yeah, but you know, Ken, you were missing.
That's right. You weren't in the dialog.
Oh, well, I feel like I missed the boat.
Well, there will be other boats to catch.
Sure.
