★ とても忙しいのですっかり忘れていました
K: Carolyn-san, any pattern for this?
C: Yeah, Ken. There is a nice little handy pattern we can use here.
K: Let's hear it.
C: I would say, "So 何々 that 何々."
C: So, the phrase will be "So busy that she totally forgot."
★ AなのでBします
J: Right. This is also a very simple pattern. You just say, "A, (comma) so B."
K: カンマは要りませんよね。しゃべる時は。
J: No, only when it's written.
K: A so B.
J: So it would be something like, "She needs some fresh air, (comma) so she's going shopping with Noboru."

★ スターターロープを2度引っ張ります
J: Uh-huh. So it's just like in the dialog except, this time, it's not a conversation between two people.
K: Uh-huh.
J: The secret is in the stage direction. So we're going to put those two together. Um... so it wouldn't be "pull the starter rope." It would be "誰々" in this case "Dorothy pulls the starter rope." And at the end we're going to add the word twice.
K: There you go.
★ 3度目に
C: Well, in the dialog, we heard "third time's the charm."
K: Uh-huh.
C: So let's use "third time" here. And let's put "on the" at the beginning. So, it'll be "on the third time."
―――

J: That's right.
―――
C: Dorothy, I think your ruby slippers have run out of their magical power.
D: I'll be right there, Cowardly Lion.
C: Oh, they don't work. I can't go home.
D: I know a trick or two about these slippers.
C: Okay, clue me in.
D: Tap the heels and think to yourself, there is no place like home.
Wizard of Oz の中のせりふ
Then close your eyes and tap your heels together three times. And think to yourself, there's no place like home. 目を閉じて、かかとを 3回鳴らして、おうちが最高って念じるのよ。
think to oneself = 声に出さずに心の中で思う、ひそかに考える
C: Oh, no go.
D: Just wait. Third time's the charm.
