Oh, something was making a big ruckus. It kept me up all night.
It's probably a raccoon.
Can you climb up in the attic and take a look?
(attic = the top floor of a house, directly under the roof)
I need to make sure it's not rabid first.
Oh.
I'll set some traps. After I catch it, I'll release it to the wild.
What if you can't catch it?
Don't worry. I'll get the job done.
Hurray!

Bravo!
Right.
I'd like to end this program as beautifully as that song.
I'm sure you'll get the job done.
Thank you.

Patty, how did you get your job?
My aunt grooms herself perfectly. So they kept her and they took me under their wing too.
You're so lucky! I'd love to get some experience living with human's under my tale.
Actually, they need another cat to keep their little girl company.
Really?
Yes, come with me to my aunt's place. I'll put in a good meow for you.
I'd be forever grateful. Thanks.

I couldn't help but notice your necklace.
It's a shark tooth.
It's so huge!
I found it on the ocean floor. I'm a marine biologist.
So you're doing research on sharks?
Yes. My team conducts a tag and release program.
Sounds fascinating. How's it going?
Really well. I have a bunch of shark teeth. Have one.
Wow! Thank you, Darwin.

This is my dog, Rufus, and my cat, Domingo.
Hi Rufus and Domingo!
Keep an eye on Rufus. He tends to chew the legs of the tables.
Fine, as long as he doesn't chew mine.
Do you have any pet sitting experience?
I walk my neighbor's dog.
I'll need a letter of reference.
I have one right here.
Very ... it's torn up.
(tear up = ズタズタに引き裂く to destroy something such as a piece of paper or cloth by pulling it into pieces)
He ate it.
Who? Your neighbor's dog?
Yes.
Let's see. When can you start?
Tomorrow?
OK. You know, we'll call you. Don't call us.

As soon as we finish recording.
All right.
Then be sure to come back here tomorrow.
