Katie, what's the new situation going to be like?
Right, Ken. They are so excited they're jumping up and down.

Tonight is the big night! Are you excited?
Totally!
Maybe your Prince Charming will be there. I mean, John.
I get butterflies in my stomach thinking about him!
You're hopelessly in love.
Oh, dear! I have nothing to wear to the dance!
I know the perfect shop for you.
You're a true friend.
Excuse me, could you go easy with your jumping, Miss?
Who's talking?
We're butterflies in your stomach. And we are not comfortable at the moment.
Oh! Sorry.

And so, you know, I often say this to myself when I am looking in my drawers or in my closet. And I even say that out loud, "What to wear? What to wear? What to wear? What to wear?" as I'm throwing everything and I'm picking and choosing, and thinking "Oh, I should go shopping. What to wear? What to wear?"
I say that before I come to work at the Rajio Eikaiwa.
Oh!
What to wear? What am I going to wear? What am I going to wear?
Oh, my goodness!
I see.
So you always look so nice.
That's right.
I hope so.
And very simple, very short. What to wear?
Well, now we know what Prince Charming means.
Yes.
Prince Charming, huh?
What about sort of an ideal woman? Maybe Princess...?
Umm ... Princess totally hot?
Princess totally hot. That ... that sounds like it should be in a magazine.
I don't think there is an equivalent for princess. No.
(equivalent = 同等のもの with the same size, value, importance, or meaning as something else)
Well, we learn something new every day?
Yeah, totally.

We just got this dress in.
It'd be so adorable on you, Claire.
Yes, it suits you, definitely!
Veronica! I found something. Does this stationery look familiar?
Your Valentine massage was written on that stationery.
Did anyone buy this stationery from you recently?
A young man did. He was about 6'1", tall, dark and handsome.
Oh!
Your mystery man!
I wonder who he could be.
Jonny Angel.
Oh, no!
Oh, yes.

An angel... Jonny Angel...
Yeah, I don't know.
Yes.
Sometimes people talk that fast.
Yeah?
Sometimes they do when they get really excited.
Okay.
So it's good practice, listen to it over and over again.
Right.
So we have a clue.
Yeah, we do.
Yeah.
The clue is ...
Well, the stationery that they found.
Stationery that looks familiar.
Right.
From the clue...
Right?
What did we find out?
The lady at the shop said, "He was 6'1"." So it's not me.
Ohhhh...
Ken?
I may be handsome. I may be tall. I may be dark.
================================

Wow! 5’10” is a big clue.
Yeah,
5’10”, 6’1”
He’s not 6’1”.
Last time, the lady at a boutique, at a shop said 6’1”
6’1”
Tall, dark and handsome.
But maybe she made a mistake. Maybe she thought he was taller because he was so handsome.
Not much difference actually between 5’10 and 6’1”.
Not a lot of difference.
Not a huge difference.
A new character
Yes.
Yeah, we’ll finally hear John.
The plot thickens.

So, where is Veronica?
She's around here somewhere. Can I ask you a question?
Shoot.
How tall are you?
6'1". Why do you ask?
(6'1" = 約185cm / 5’10” =約178cm / 6'2" = 約188cm / 5'2" =約157cm)
Oh, uh... Just curious.
May I have this dance?
Certainly.
You look absolutely stunning tonight.
Why, thank you, Adam.
Shall we?
We shall.
Oh, Good-bye, Claire.

You can't beat that.
No. You can't beat that.
I don't know if you could trust that either.
Can you do that laugh again?
That's great.
So, you know, this key expression "May I have this dance?”
Yes.
Well, it's easy to remember.
Yes.
It is.
Nice structure, sentence structure there.
But it takes a lot of courage to say it sometimes, to ask it.
Have you asked someone to dance?
Well, believe it or not, when I was younger, I was really, really shy.
Did you get butterflies in your stomach?
I got butterflies in my stomach and in my head.
Oh, my goodness.
I was extremely shy and I would just go over and kind of blurt out something like... uh, oh, uh....
(blurt out = 〜を思わず口走る)
So you've never danced.
No. I danced ... sometimes. But I was extremely shy.
So are you shy now?
Oh, heavens, no!

Can you keep a secret?
I can. Cross my heart.
John has fallen for Veronica.
He has?
Yes. He says she is the most giving, generous and attractive woman he's ever known.
Oh. Well... That's ... that's so sweet!
The only trouble is he just can't get up the courage to ask her to dance.
Well,… Veronica would dance with him in a heartbeat.
Okay, I'll go to tell John!
Right. That's the way the cookie crumbles. Roses are red, violets are blue. Oh, my sweet John, what happened to you?
(That's the way the cookie crumbles. = 世の中そういうものさ／仕方ないよ That is the way things happen. That's life.)
You know, I think that she was really asleep and was having a nightmare.
You mean just now?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah. She'll be fine.
Yeah, must be. These new situations scare me sometimes.
I know. Well, sometimes I just can't get up the courage to listen to them.
I know, scary.
But I love them.
Me too.
You're just playing along with me.
Yes.
(play along with = 〜と調子を合わせる to seem to support or be friendly to someone or something)
