Katie, what's the new situation going to be like this time?
This time, the woman is quite upset.

                              • -


This is the haircut I want.
A short bob?
Yeah. I’m tired of my long hair.
Okey-dokey. How's life been treating you, Kelsey?
Oh, not too well. Actually, things could be better, much, much better. My husband got left out of his father's will.
That must be disappointing.
Oh, it is. He's thinking of suing his stepmother. We both know she's behind all this.
(She's behind all this = 彼女が裏で動いているのよ)
She is?
Yes, of course. But, but … but t's all very hash-hush.
But of course.

I hope her haircut tunes out well.
Wow!
With all that anger, he might make a mistake.
Scary.
Yes.
Well, it's all hash-hash too.
Hmm...
Oh.
Well, it'll be the best Rajio Eikaiwa ever.
Oh!
But it's all hash-hash.
Can't wait.

So, Jeff, what's the new situation going to be like this time?
Very romantic, Roman and Julia are actually Romeo and Juliet.

You're really rocking that hipster look, Romeo.
Thanks. Unfortunately, my girlfriend, Juliet, doesn't like it.
Really?
She thinks I'd look better with a crew cut.
A crew cut would suit you, too.
Can you keep a secret?
I won't tell a soul.
Juliet and I are eloping tonight.
Well, I think congratulations are in order.

Thank you very much indeed.

Oh, Romeo, Romeo.
Wherefore art thou Romeo?

(Wherefore art thou Romeo. = ロミオとジュリエットからのせりふ
おおロミオロミオあなたはどうしてロメオなの?)

I need to have my gray roots colored.
Okay. All of them?

It seems like it's about time for us to act our age.
Oh, I don't want to act my age.
No?
What age do you want to act?
Much younger.
Oh, okay.
I think 25 and under.
20 or 25?
You can do it.
Yes, you can, easy on the radio. How about you, Katie? Would you like to act your age or...?
I think I'd like to act ... hmmm... 12.
Okay. That's your age.
Wow! That's really young. I didn't see that coming.
How about you, Ken?
Well, I would. I would act my age. Well, that's about it for today.

Do you want styling lotion, Josh? Brrrr...
A little bit.

This Saturday. I'm sorry I let the rat out of the bag.
I'm glad you told me.
No problem. Mew..

Hmm...
So in the world of cats...
Yes.
You have a different idiom.
Yes, "let the rat out of the bag."
You let the rat out of the bag. Oh, that's neat. What about rats or ... what do they say, I wonder.
That's a great question.
Hmm...
Let the cheese out of the bag. I don't know.
Ohhh
I don't know.
Cheese
Yeah, that's a good one. I like that.
Me too.

So what are your plans for the weekend, Katie?
Well, let's see. I'll talk about Saturday, and you know, Saturday, I'm listening to Rajio Eikaiwa.
I see.
Jeff, what about you?
Well, I guess, I let the cat out of the bag. On Sunday, I'm also going to listen to Rajio Eikaiwa.
Wow!
So, how about you, Ken?
Yeah.
Well, I'm taking a break.
Oh, oh!
Break?!! You let the cat out of the bag. There are no breaks. No breaks in life.
Well, I don't think I will, but that’s about it for today.
