Speaking of small prints, our script is fine, right?
Yeah, it’s pretty good.
Oookay.

                          • -

So Katie, what's another situation going to be like?
It's wonderful. They are two happy people.

                            • -

Hey! How's the new Smallprice Airline's website?
If you ask me, it's even more difficult to navigate. Look at the small print!
Wow! Did you try to enlarge it?
Yeah, but it's such a hassle. This is what happens when I try to book a flight.
(hassle = a situation that causes problems for you or that annoys you very much)
Now I'll enlarge it. See?
You're absolutely right! It's still so tiny I can't read it!

Oh, this is so fun!
Yeah.
Here's another website with the small print.
Wow!

Sounds like they're having fun.
Well, it sounded like to me it's such a hassle to be happy.
Oh!
I have no idea why they’re enjoying it so much.
You're absolutely right.

Wow!
It sounds delicious.

                • -

So, Jeff...
Uh-huh.
What's another situation going to be like this time?
Well, this time, Diane was not so impressed with the diner.

                        • -

Diane, tell me what you thought of Hornet Diner.
Mike, I'd like to say I loved it, but their donuts are not exactly my type.
No?
And I wished the servers were a little more friendly.
Oh, that's exactly the opposite of how I feel about them.
I bought this spicy salad to go. They said the ingredients are so fresh.
Yum! Can I have a taste? Oh my! It's so hot. It stings
（sting = 刺すように〜をチクチク／ヒリヒリさせる　to have or cause a sudden pain or uncomfortable feeling）
Like a hornet.
（hornet= スズメバチ a black and yellow flying insect that can sting you. It is a type of large wasp）
Water.

                                        • -

We have about ten seconds to go, so tell me what you thought of today's Rajio Eikaiwa.
I loved it!
Oh, I thought it was out of this world!
That's exactly how I feel.

Hmm...
It's nice to hear people happy about their mayor.
Sounds like a great mayor here.
It does.

                • -

So, what's another situation going to be like, Katie?
Oh, che che che... They find the new mayor is not a good fit for the job.

                            • -

What's your opinion of our new mayor?
Without a doubt, he's the wrong man for the job.
I couldn't agree with you more.
He's not going to push for more traffic signals or bicycle lanes.
No. Isn't that awful?
And he supports more expensive housing for the elderly, too.
That's what I really don’t like about him. He doesn’t listen to his constituents.
You can say that again.
He doesn't listen to his constituents.
Right. You can say that again.
I can say that a million times. He doesn't listen to his constituents.

                            • -

She's got a very strong opinion.
Very heated out there.
Yes.
What's your opinion of our program?
Oh, this show is out of this world.
I love it, especially you, Ken.
You are the right man for the job.
That's what I like about him.
Is that all?
Oh.

Oh, it sounds like trouble is brewing.　
(trouble is brewing = trouble is developing/ a difficult, dangerous, or violent situation is developing / 困ったことが持ち上がりそうだ/騒ぎが起こりかけている)
I don't understand one thing about this dialog.
Yeah!
What's that?
Why did she ask him that question?

                            • -

So Jeff...
Uh-huh.
What's another situation going to be like?
Oh, this time, the man is a picture of indecisiveness.

                                          • -

I'm thinking about inviting Nick and Roxy. What are your thoughts on this?
Invite Nick and Roxy. Yes.
But Nick is not getting along with Roxy.
No, they're not.
So I’ll invite Nick, but not Roxy.
Oh, I wouldn't stop you.
But then Roxy will feel left out.
You have a point there.
Isn't Roxy sort of a drama queen?
(a drama queen = a person who often has exaggerated or overly emotional reactions to events or situations)
I'm with you there.
But some people say she's the life of the party.
(life of the party = a person who is lively and helps make a party fun and exciting)
Hard to say no to that.
What should I do?
Do what you should do, Patty.

                                  • -


Wow, do what you should do.
Patty, why did you ask that question? Why are you asking about that? You just make up your mind right there.
She wants an argument.
Well, I'm not with you there.
Hmm...
What have you two got against her?
Well, Jeff, I'll get back to you on that a little later.
OK.
