Write It!

★ 逃げ出し客間に入り込む
C: Well, let's look at the first part.
K: Okay.
C: So the first set of actions, you could either write "takes off" or "runs away."
K: Right.
C: Both were in the dialog. For the second part, that wasn't in the dialog. And um… there are many ways we can do this, but let's focus on two. I would recommend writing "gets into," so it would be "gets into the guest room."
C: For the other way, you could write "runs into."
K: Okay.
C: So it would be "runs into the guest room."
★ ベンが彼を落ち着かせようとします
K: settle him down
J: Yes. Settle him down.
J: We're going to use the phrase "tries to."
K: OK.
J: So, in this case would be, "Ben tries to settle him down."
―――――
C: Coconut takes off after his bath, gets into the guest room and rolls around on the bed. Ben tries to settle him down.
J: Coconut runs away after his bath, runs into the guest room and rolls around on the bed. Ben tries to settle him down.
J: I believe they did.
C: I bet you run away with it.
K: All right.
(run away with = ～に圧勝する、～に楽勝する)

C: Yes.
K: What's another situation gonna (going to) be like this time?

C: And a squirrel.
K: Oh, yeah.

S: Where is he?
M: He's in the guest room rolling around on the bed.
S: Oh, no! Coconut! The bedspread is soaking wet!
M: Coconut! Sit! Not on the bed!
B: What's going on in here?
M: Coconut ran away after his bath.
S: Ben, do something.
B: Master Hamster.
H: Yes?
B: Would you please settle down?
H: No.
―――――
J: Did he say "yes" or "no"? I'm not sure.
C: You know, what do you think, Ken?
K: I don't know. I forgot.
(Laughter)
K: Well, you know the bedspread is soaking wet.
C: Yeah.
