Question Challenge!
==================
K: Are you ready for the challenges, guys?
J: You bet.
F: Yap. We are sure.
K: All right.
◆ Question 1
K: Jeff, what's your choice?
K: Well, let's get back to Question 1; Jeff, what do you do your take on this choice?
J: Well, let's see. My answer was "He desperately needed to talk to her for unknown reasons."
K: Yeah, right.
J: Um, I don't think this is it because he didn't need to talk to her. Um... He was waiting patiently, finally gave up to ask her if she needed help.
K: So Florence, what do you think of your choice?
F: Well, my choice I said "She had a flat tire and needed someone to put a new tire on," but she doesn't know what's wrong with her car. So and it doesn't mention a tire. So I think this is wrong. And what about your answer, Ken? What do you think?
K: Well, my answer was "Because he was holding up the line and wanted help." No, he wasn't holding up the line. It was she, this lady, was holding up the line.
J: Right.
F: Right. That's true.
K: It's not right.
J: So your answers wrong too. So the only other answer is...
K: Yeah.
All: D.
J: Good job.
K: Let's give them a big hand.
F: Oh, very good.
◆ Question 2
K: Let's move on to questions 2.
Choose one or more groups of words that are all related to Episode 1. Okay, let's hear it.
K: What? Goose?
F: Where does that come from?
J: Did they mention a goose?
K: Anyway... Okay, let's get back to Jeff.
J: Um... Steer, push... Might have been there. I think they were in there, right?
K: Yeah, she's gonna steer, right?
J: But "sweater" was definitely not in there. So it's not (A).
K: Why is it there?
J: Because it's "no sweat." No sweater.
K: Florence?
F: Well, yeah, my answers are "start / neutral / worries."
K: Uh-huh.
F: And I think I got that one. I think this is correct.
K: They use all those words?
F: They use all those words and she had to put the car in neutral and you know, it was okay, no worries and ...
K: Yeah, she was complaining the car won't start or something like that.
F: True.
J: So. Ken, there's still a possibility...
K: Oh, yeah. It says "one or more," right? ... more groups.
J: Right.
F: True.
K: Parking Area fine. They are moving toward the parking area. They're going to, and "darn," she says "darn," you know, "My car won't start, darn, darn, darn," but "goose"... No.
F: No.
J: There was a goose in the car?
F: No goose.
K: Well, I know. It's there because the man says, "Here goose."
J: Nothing goes... nothing?
K: Here goes.
F: Okay!
K: Oh, my goodness. So the answer should be...
All: (B)
J: Well done.
F: Hey, very, very good. Excellent.
==================
Before We Move On!
==================
K: What will happen next?
K: How about you, Jeff?
J: What will happen next?
K: Uh-huh.
J: Umm... Nothing. I don't think anything will happen.
K: What?
J: The man helps her out. Then he gets gas. She calls for a towing service. And they go their separate ways. It's as simple as that.
K: That's so dark.
J: Well, that's what usually happens.
K: How true. Florence, you have anything to say?
F: Yeah, I'm... wanna think more positively. I think something wonderful is going to happen. You know, I think it's a boy meets girl beginning, you know.
K: OK.
F: I mean... The man may have jumper cables and helps the woman jumpstart her car. And before they know they begin to like each other. You know, otherwise....
J: Otherwise what?
K: Otherwise what?
J: Yeah.
F: Well, the story is over. You don't want that happen, do you?
K: No, no. No. Do you guys?
F: No.
J: No, of course not.
K: Well, that about wraps it up.
