Congratulations to her.
Right.

So, what's another situation going to be like, Katie?
Well, Ken, perk up your ears.
Why?
They are very fast talkers.

                        • -

How's it going, Briana?
I'm okay, thanks. I'm working a double shift.
Oh, that's right.
Thankfully it's been a slow night.
I appreciate your covering for Marcy.
I really don't mind it. Is Marcy sick?
She's on maternity leave.
March is pregnant?
Oh, yes. She's due in next month.
That's big news!

It is, isn't it?
But she doesn't look pregnant at all.
Well, that's a fast-changing world, isn't it?
(a fast-changing world = 急速に変化する世界)
Yes, very fast, isn't it?
It is, isn't it? Yes, it is, isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it?

The ideal speed for the emergency room, isn't it?
Yes.
Isn't it?
Yes.
Isn't it?
Isn't it?
Isn't it?
It is, right? Well, what was the first thing I say for signing out? Umm..
Oh!
Oh, Ah! So that's about it for today.
So until next time.
Hey. I appreciate your covering for me.
You're welcome.
No problemo.
So?
Keep listening
Keep practicing
And keep on smiling
Bye.

So Jeff ...
Uh-huh.
What's another situation going to be like?
Well, this time, the patient tries the bottom line again.

Can you read the bottom line of the chart?
Everything is blurry.
Hmm... How about line 8?
E-D-F-C-Z-P.
Very good. You don't need a new prescription.
Oh, really? I thought my eyesight was getting worse.
What kind of work do you do?
I'm a computer programmer.
You may have computer vision syndrome.
That could be. Oh, I feel a bit better. I've been flooded with work recently.

Hmm...
Can I try the bottom line again?
Sure.

Perfect!
Am I proud?
You should be.

Wow! Good ending.

So Ken?
Yes?
When people ask you what kind of work do you do, how do you answer?
Well, I say, I entertain and educate our wonderful listeners.

Wow.
She can fix his problem.

So, Katie, what's another situation going to be like?
Oh, my. The alterations tailor is a witch.

The trousers are way too long.
I'll pin up the hem a few inches. Abracadabra! How's that?
That's fine.
And can you adjust the waistband? It's too loose.
Hmm... I can take it in an inch or two.
Great. Uh... ma'am?
Yes, young man?
Don't you do abracadabra?
Oh. That was an initial complimentary fixing. The waistband has to wait.
(initial= 最初の complimentary = 無料の)
Oh, I see. When can I pick them up?
Hmm... We're short-handed right now. Can you pick them up in two hours?
Sure. I can listen to Rajio Eikaiwa while I wait.
You study that course, eh? OK. I'll give you a special deal. Abracadabra two inches in!
Oh, thank you.
Now, go study. Keep on smiling.

Good witch.
Oh my goodness.
Very good witch.
She has a heart of gold.
(A heart of gold = 心が美しい、思いやりがあって親切で心が広い)
Where is Jeff?
Oh! Oh, I don't know. Oh my goodness.
Oh, weird. Goodness. I'm sorry listeners, we are shorthanded right now, so... Oh, there he is.
Sorry, guys!
I think your break was way too long, Jeff.

So Jeff...
Uh-huh.
What's another situation going to be like today?
Well, Mamina's Organics is soon celebrating their 70-year anniversary.
OK. And the Mamina is the founder, right?
Right.
70-yeah, OK, I can do some calculation here.
70 years. OK.

Your business is booming, Mamina!
It is.
Tell us how you got your start.
Well, I got laid off from my job.
Oh. That's tough.
It was. My hair turned white. I got so many wrinkles.
Oh.
I couldn't even afford to buy soap, so I started making my own.
And Mamina's Organics was born.
That's right. All my products are chemical-free.
Well, you've built a great corporate reputation.
Thank you. We have our 70-year anniversary coming up.

70? But you don't look a day older than 40.
Use our products.
Are there some for men?
They are coming soon.
Oh, when?

Is that the end of the dialog?
Suspense.
All right.
Oh my goodness.
So if you use her products, you will stay young.

Wow.
Well, she got laid off from her job and she really did well.
Yeah.
Uh-huh. Her business is booming.
She's doing well.
