Paul, how is your online photography business going?
Better than I ever imagined, Tanya.
That's great news!
And guess what.
What?
New Safari Magazine offered me a position as their travel photographer!
The New Safari Magazine?
Yes.
Are you going to take it?
I'm not sure. Do you think I should?
I would if I were you. What do you have to lose?
You're right. I'll take it.
Yay!
Shhh...

Sounds important.
Why it's hush-hush? We don't know.
We have no idea.
Yeah, but it's hush-hush happiness.
And it was well done.
Oh, thank you.

You know, there are online businesses and online businesses.
Yes.
All over the Internet. Are there or is there any particular online business that you like to go to or would you like to start an online business yourself?

Well, there's an online business that I like to go to for Christmas. It's a vegan chocolate shop in the United States online.
I thought chocolate was vegan. No?
Well, if it has milk in it, it's not.
Milk is not vegan? I didn't know that.
No. And this chocolate chef is amazing.

How about you, Jeff?
Um... I would probably read Japanese fairy tales online.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, hey!
… so that kids could go online and listen to them anytime they wanted to.
Wow!
That's great.

How about you, Ken?
Yeah.
Well, since Rajio Eikaiwa is on the Internet, I have nothing else to do. I can't think of anything else.
Well, you know what? That's enough. It's a wonderful, wonderful way to be occupied.
Right.

So, Jeff ...
Uh-huh.
What's the new situation going to be like?
Well, this time, the family is a little dysfunctional.
Let's hear it.

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • -

I'm feeling over overwhelmed with housework!
You've been that way for years. You need to lower your standards to a lot bottom, man.
I need help, not some useless advice!
Okay. It's time for a family meeting. Jason, Allison!
What?
Come down for a minute.
We're watching a documentary.
Yeah.
Doesn't matter! Gather around -- on the double!
No way.
Let's hop to it and clean the house!
No way!
This is the last call. Come down here!
No way!

Ugh... what's the documentary about?
Norway!

That was a pun.
Well, Norway.
No way.
No way. Oh, I see.

Do you ever watch documentaries?
Oh, sure.
Yes, all the time.
The last one I watched was about bears.
Oh, really.
It was very interesting.
Barely (very) interesting.
Yes
I didn't make that up by ... I thought you said it.
Ken, that's unbearable. （unbearable = 耐えられない）
Oh, that's intentional. （intentional=意図された、故意の）　That's really bad.

We'll just have to grin and bear it. （grin and bear it = 笑って［不平を言わずに］耐える）
Oh!
That's even worth. OK. You win. So let's hop to it and end the show.

So, Katie.
Yes, Ken.
What's the new situation going to be like?
Well, they are senior citizens.

• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • -

You really wowed the audience, Brianna!
You think so, Mike?
Oh, yes. You should become an actress.
Actually, I'm saving up to go to drama school.
Oh, I don't think you need that. You are natural.
Thanks. Anyhow, after graduating, I'm going to get an agent.
You'll be an overnight success!
Well, I have a long way to go.

I wish I could be your agent.
Would you care to?
Yes, Brianna. After retiring, I will.
How wonderful!

I'll only ask 50%.
Oh, let me sleep on it.

That's asking a lot.
That is. 50%... hmm...
Usually, that's much lower, right? ... than 50%.
Usually much lower, yes.
Okay.

Well, speaking of senior citizens and overnight success...
Yes?
That reminds of the movie Casablanca. And in that movie, there is an actor Sydney Greenstreet.
Yes.
Oh.
And he became famous and he was a senior citizen.
Oh, my goodness. That's a great story.

And he really wowed the audience too.
He sure did. He had a parrot on his shoulder. And he was sort of a good, bad man.
Good, bad.
Hu-huh.
And he really wowed the audience.
Yes, he did.
That's amazing.
Yeah, it is amazing.

After listening to that last new situation, I think we've got a long way to go.
A long way to go.
Well, who knows? You might be an overnight success ... tomorrow.
I don't think so, but it would be nice.

So Jeff, what's the new situation going to be like this time?
Oh! You are going to like it.

Thanks!

Beautify, beautifully done. My goodness.
Frere Jacques must be happy to hear it.
I think so. I'll recommend everyone try this at home.
We hope so.
Well, it's not dangerous to sing this one.
No.
