Want's another situation going to be like today?
The man is Superguy, a superhero who fights Badguy, his archenemy.
（archenemy = a principal enemy最大の敵）

                                                    • -


Hello, Superguy. How are you?
I fell.
What? Oh, no! Are you okay?
I'm in the hospital.
What happened?
I lost my balance on Badguy's helicopter.
Is anything broken?
Well, my pride is broken, and I also have a badly bruised ego.
(ego = 自尊心
プライドが傷ついたうえに、自尊心もひどくやられたよ。[プライドが壊れて自尊心にあざができた]）
Oh, Superguy, I'm so sorry this happened to you!
It's not going to happen again!
That goes without saying.
（言うまでもなく that is obvious）
I have to go now.
Oh! Are you going to fight Badguy?
No. I have Rajio Eikaiwa to listen to. Bye for now!
Take me with you, Superguy.

Woshi （シュワッチュと飛び立つ音かな？）
Oh! Well, just the other day, I slipped and fell outside of the studio.
Oh, no.
Oh. Is anything broken?
No, just my pride.
Oh!
My foolish pride.
（foolish = silly, stupid）
We're so sorry that happened to you.
Oh, thank you.

Very supportive.
Yes, she has a lot to take care of.

So, what's another situation going to be like, John or I mean Matthew or Mark, or oh Lu... no,... Jeff? Yes! Sorry!
Well, you remember Humpty Dumpty, right?
Yes, Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
That's right.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall...
Right. Well, Humpty Dumpty fell again.
Oh, no.

                            • -

Lewis, my old friend Humpty Dumpty had another great fall.
（Lewis Carroll　ルイス・キャロル　『不思議の国のアリス』の作者）
Oh no! Is he all right?
Well, all the King's horses and all the King's men couldn't put him together again.
Oh, that's too bad!
Then they carried him to the ER. He needed quite a few stitches.
Poor Humpty!
Oh, can you mind the kids for a couple of days? I need to fly to the Looking-Glass world and check up on him.
（the Looking-Glass world = 鏡の国）
Not a problem, Alice.
Thanks, honey. I appreciate it.

Wow! Sounds like an adventure.
Well, could you mind the program for a while?
Where... Where are you going?
I need to check up on Humpty.
Oh, sure.
Okay.

Hi, I'm back.
Oh!
How's Humpty?
Well, he doesn't want to see me!
I'm sure he appreciated that, though.
Oh, I don't think so.
Oh, dear.
He hates people. He likes eggs.
Oh!!

He's got a long recovery ahead of him.
（回復までにはずいぶんかかるねえ〜）
Right.

              • -

So, what's another situation going to be like today?
Hmm... She is talking to the vet about her cat.

                                  • -


How is my cat doing, Dr. Meow?
He's doing very well, considering.
That's good to hear. When will he be able to go home?
You can take him home today. Is he an indoor cat?
Yes.
That's good. He needs to rest. A good rest will help him immensely.
（immensely = 非常に、大いに　very, or very much）
Well, he used to go in and out of the house, but he stays home these days.
Mmm..., a sign of old age, perhaps.
It's more like a sign of ambition. He loves to listen to Rajiei all day.
Lucky guy! I'm so busy. I can only listen to it once in the morning driving in my car to work.

Wow! That's good to hear. They're all listening to Rajiei.
Very ambitious people, I mean people, a person and an animal.
Yes.

Well, Katie, well, Jeff...
Yes?
You did very well on this one, too.
Oh!
Thank you. That's good to hear.
Oh, we were doing very well, considering.
Well, you are always good. This one was also wonderful.
Thank you.
You are welcome.

Well, he feels very strongly, doesn't he?
He doesn't need anything.
No.

I don't need it.
Oh!
He's so grumpy.
Yeah, we do, we do. Yeah. Well, what's another situation going to be like?
Well, we know how much you love when we sing.
I do.
They sing their lines to the tune of "Happy Birthday to You."

Good luck.
Thank you.

                          • -


The doctor mentioned that you would benefit from geriatric PT.
I'm not over the hill yet!
How about moving back to LA? You could live with me and Al and the kids.
I want to keep my independence.
Yes. I understand. Dad, I'd like you to wear this.
What's this?
It's a medical alert device in case you fall again.

I don't need it!
You do, too.
No, I don't!
Yes, you do!
No, I don't! I know I don't.
You DO. You do. Yes, you do.
Yes, YES!
No, I don't. No, no, no. I don't.
Ugh!!

So grumpy.
（grumpy = unhappy and dissatisfied, often for no obvious reason）
Well, he is not over the hill yet. He wants to keep his independence.
That's true, and sounds like father, like daughter.
Yes.
