K: My cat used to run up the curtains, leaving a lot of holes.
C: Ugh.
==========
U R the ★
==========
KCJ: Nice.
C: Ken.
K: Yes?
C: Now, you are the star.
K: Oh, my goodness.
C: They're starting to play rough!
K: Looks like that way!
J: Hey, you guys!
K: Play nice!
J: Yeah.
C: Come on!
==========
Say It!
==========
K: Are you ready, Jeff?
J: I don't wanna do this.
K: Oh, come on, Jeff! You're supposed to be grown up.
J: OK. I'm a grown-up. I can do this.
K: All right.
J: He's a grown-up. ×5
K: You did it.
J: All right. All right.
C: Wow!
KCJ: That was well done.
==========
Write It!
==========
★ 猫のシャドウ
C: Well, yeah, there are two ways we can write this, um... as far as the order goes. For the first way, let's follow the Japanese order and it'll be "a cat called Shadow."
C: And then for the second way, we can reverse it, right? Instead of "a cat called Shadow," we'll put the word "the" after Shadow, and it'll be "Shadow, the cat."
C: Doesn't that sound more dramatic?
K: Yeah, very.
★ 犬のペパー
J: Well, Carolyn explained it very nicely. The first way would be "a dog called Pepper." And the second way is "Pepper, the dog."
★ ……することで自らトラブルを招いています
C: Yeah, that's right. We're gonna use the very helpful idiom "ask for it."
K: OK.
C: Um... but we wanna use the present progressive here. So, that's right, "asking for it."
C: Well, we want to explain how she is asking for it.
K: Right.
C: So, we'll use the word "by" here.
K: Uh-huh.
C: And we'll connect it by saying "be asking for it by 何々ing."
★ AにBするようにと怒鳴りつける
J: Well, we are going to use the word "yell." So the pattern would be "yell at A to do B." So, in this case, it would be "The pet owner comes and yells at them to play nice."
―――――
C: A cat called Shadow is asking for it by teasing a dog called Pepper. The pet owner comes and yells at them to play nice.
J: Shadow, the cat, is asking for it by teasing Pepper, the dog. The pet owner comes and yells at them to play nice.
J: They always do.
C: Absolutely. Nice work.
K: All right.
J: Good job.
===================
In Another Situation!
===================
K: So, Carolyn...
C: Yes.
K: What's another situation going to be like?
C: Well, now, this time, the pets are two cats and a lion.
――――――
O: You shouldn't bully Pepper all the time.
S: He's a lion. He doesn't care.
P: Actually I do.
O: You're asking for it, Shadow. You're going to get us in trouble.
S: I'm just showing him who's boss. Hey, Pepper, can you run up the curtain like sooooo?
PO: What's going on in here? Shadow, get down! Pepper, what are you doing?
P: I'm just lying (lion) around.
O: And he's not lying (lion) either.
S: You guys are catty.
P: You guys, quiet.
(lie around 何もせずごろごろして過ごす)
(catty 意地の悪い)
―――――
K: So, (for) them, all of the interaction is, of course, play nice.
J: Yes.
C: Yes.

K: Very nice.
==========
U R the ★
==========
J: All right.
C: All right. Nice.
KCJ: You goat (got) it.
C: Jeff...
J: Yes?
C: You are the star.
J: All right.
J: Can I feed the goat now?
C: Sure.
J: Will he eat food out of my hand?
C: No problem. He's tame.
J: Okay. Here goes.
C: But watch your jacket.
==========
Say It!
==========
J: So, who's turn is it?
K: I think it's yours.
J: Oh.
K: Let’s hear it.
J: Whose rabbit is it? ×5
C: Hey.
J: Wow.
KCJ: Beautifully done.
==========
Write It!
==========
★ よくわかりません
C: Yeah. That's right. I think we heard this in the dialog. So, it's probably pretty straightforward. I'd recommend writing "It's hard to tell."
K: Good.
C: But for another pattern, we can also use "say" here. And in that case, it'll be "It's hard to say."
★ 彼（それ）が／彼（それ）に
J: Or if it's a female, you could say "she," of course.
J: Ah, yes. We would use the word "it." That's perfectly fine.
J: Right.
K: That’s it.
J: Right. "Whose rabbit it is."
―――――
J: A boy sees a rabbit in his grandfather's backyard. The rabbit is tame, but it's hard to tell whose rabbit he is. They go say hello to him.
C: A boy sees a rabbit in his grandfather's backyard. The rabbit is tame, but it's hard to say whose rabbit it is. They go say hello to it.
J: I know they did.
C: Hey. Fantastic work.
K: All right.
J: Well done.
===================
In Another Situation!
===================
K: So, Jeff.
J: Uh-huh.
K: What's another situation going to be like?
J: Well, this time, there's an elephant in the backyard.
K: Oh, it shouldn't be there.
―――――
GS: Grandpa, there is an elephant in the backyard!
M: That's Elvis.
GS: Is it wild?
M: No, he's tame. And well mannered. He'll eat food out of your hand.
GS: Whose elephant is it?
M: It's hard to tell. He just showed up one day. He's an elegant elephant.
GS: I want an elephant more than anything! Can I pet it?
M: You need a ladder and two acres of land more than anything. Let's go say hello to Elvis.
GS: Here we come!
E: Thank you very much. I'm not sure what I'm saying.
J: All I know is that I love food and I'll eat food out of anybody's hand, or out of their plate, or out of their bowl.
C: I think he still doesn't know what he is talking about.
J: Thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much.
K: That’s Elvis. Yeah.
C: All right, okay.
