# video script
(In Cheryl’s apartment, Marie, Bob, and
Cheryl talk about technology and inventions.)
Marie:
What are those wacky glasses you are wearing?
Bob:
These are ultra high-tech, top-of-the-line, state-of-the-art, cutting-edge TV
glasses.
Marie:
And you’re actually watching TV right now?
Bob:
Yeah. Right here on the corner.
Marie:
What are you watching?
Bob:
The basketball game.
Marie:
Unbelievable. And Cheryl doesn’t mind this?
Bob:
Yes!
Marie:
What?
Bob:
Sorry. My team’s winning.
Marie:
This new invention doesn’t bother you?
Cheryl:
Are you kidding? If I had known how
happy they would make him, I would have
bought those glasses for Bob long ago.
Marie:
Technology today is amazing. You know, I wish
they’d invent something that would
make people who talk on cell phones quieter. This guy in the café today was so
loud, I couldn’t hear myself talking.
Bob:
Ha-ha-ha ...
Marie:
It wasn’t funny.
Bob:
What? Oh, sorry. I was laughing at this guy on TV.
Cheryl:
If I could invent something, it would be a thing for Bob’s car that
would automatically charge him when he goes over the speed limit. He drives so
fast sometimes, but he’d slow down if
he had to pay.
Bob:
No!
Marie:
Is your team losing?
Bob: No. I heard what
you said. You just leave my car alone.
