(Mr. Evans tries his hand at being a TV host
for etiquette.)
Marie:
What about you, Mr. Evans? What did you think you were going to be when you were younger?
Mr.
Evans: If I tell you, will you try not to laugh?
Marie:
Of course.
Mr.
Evans: I always thought I would have
my own television program to talk about etiquette.
Cheryl:
I didn’t know you were so interested in etiquette.
Mr.
Evans: I have always loved etiquette. I think I would have made a great television etiquette teacher.
Cheryl:
Well, you’re very polite, for one thing.
Bob:
You always know which fork to use at a restaurant. That’s a real talent.
Paul:
You’ve taught me a lot about the customs of other cultures.
Mr.
Evans: Maybe I could still give it a try. “Today’s topic: dinner conversation.
If your international guests look offended and are leaving the table early, you’re
probably chosen a topic that’ taboo in their home country. Find out what’s
acceptable and what’s not ... coming up on International
Etiquette with Evans.” What do you think?
Bob:
Wow.
Cheryl:
Amazing.
Marie:
Unforgettable.
Paul:
You have a real ... talent all right.
Mr.
Evans: Thank you.
