    Script: Brad: Are you all right? Lydia: What…what happened? Brad: You lost consciousness and someone called 911. My name is Brad and I’m a paramedic. Can you answer a few questions for me? Lydia: I’ll try. Brad: Have you ever blacked out before? Lydia: No, I don’t think so. Brad: Do you have a history of medical problems? Do you have any allergies to medication? Lydia: Not that I know of. Brad: Okay. Where are you hurt? Are you in any pain? Lydia: I think I hit my head when I fell down. Oh, it’s bleeding. Oh my God, I’m bleeding! Brad: Stay calm and let me examine the wound. Lydia: Oh my God, I’m going to bleed to death! Brad: Try to stay still. The wound doesn’t look too serious, but we’ll get you to the hospital to get checked out. We’ll get a stretcher so we can get you into the ambulance and take you to the emergency room. Try to stay calm. Lydia: Calm? How can I stay calm when I’m bleeding to death? I need a helicopter to take me to the hospital right away. Call medivac! Brad: Ma’am, you don’t need a helicopter. I’m just going to give you a little injection to help you with the pain and to help you relax. Lydia: I’m going to die…I’m going to… Brad: Phew!

    Daily English 601 - Paying an Unexpected Visit

    Script: Lorraine: Hi, this is a surprise. To what do I owe this pleasure? Terrance: Can’t I just drop in on my little sister unannounced to see how she is? I was just in this neck of the woods and thought I would pay you a visit. Lorraine: Sure you were. Of course, I’m glad to see you, but this is just a little out of the blue. Terrance: What do you mean? Lorraine: I haven’t seen you in over five months, and you just happened to be in the neighborhood? Terrance: Well, I wasn’t exactly in the neighborhood, but I wanted to see my favorite sister. Lorraine: Your only sister. Okay, out with it. What are you doing here? Terrance: Uh, well, I was thinking of taking a year off from school to pursue my art. I really feel I need to devote some time to my painting to see if I can make it as an artist. Lorraine: Mom and Dad are not going to like that. Terrance: I know and that’s where you come in. Lorraine: You want me to run interference for you with Mom and Dad. Terrance: Yeah, they would take it a lot better coming from you, don’t you think? Lorraine: No, I don’t. Terrance: You’ve always been the responsible one…I’m just saying… Lorraine: And I’m just saying that I’m not going to do your dirty work for you!

    Daily English 600 - Talking About Sight

    Script: Sue: This medication I’m taking is messing with my vision. Everything is blurry. Hamed: That’s a good reason for you to stay home from work today. Sue: I can’t. I have to give a presentation this afternoon and I can’t flake out on my coworkers. Hamed: What good are you to them if you’re blind as a bat? Sue: Everybody else will have crystal clear vision, so all I have to do is to put in an appearance. Things may not be as sharp as I’d like them to be, but I can still make out people and objects – as long as they’re really big. Hamed: I don’t think your coworkers are going to want you to blindside them today with your strange behavior. You’re going to do more harm than good. Sue: I can see well enough. I only see double if I move my head like this. Whoa… Hamed: At this point, I don’t care if you have X-ray vision. That medication is affecting more than your vision. It’s impairing your better judgment!

    Daily English 599 - Shopping for Warm-Weather Clothes

    Script: Spencer: I would love to see you in this outfit: a tank top and a miniskirt. Lauren: No way! I wouldn’t look anything like that mannequin. I’m too shy and I’d make a fool of myself wearing such revealing clothes. Spencer: That’s where you’re wrong. You would look great on the beach in that outfit with a bikini underneath. Lauren: I haven’t worn a bikini in years. I always wear a one-piece now. In fact, I’d feel more comfortable in a T-shirt, cut-offs, and flip-flops. Spencer: Why would you want to hide that figure? If you want to do that, why don’t you just wear this Hawaiian shirt and these board-shorts. Then no one will know you’re a woman! Lauren: Don’t get mad. Okay, you can pick out an outfit for me and I promise to wear it for you. Okay? Spencer: Fine, but I’m warning you: I want to see some skin!

    Script: Brittany: [slurring her speech] I had a really nice time. Tri: I’m glad to hear it. It was nice of Marie to set us up. Brittany: Yeah, she told me that you would be my soul mate, and she was right! You’re dreamy… Tri: Uh…well, thanks. It was really nice meeting you, but I’d better be going. Brittany: What? Why are you leaving so soon? Don’t you want to come in for a nightcap? Let’s have a drink, or two, or three. I’ll make it worth your while… Tri: I think we’ve both had enough to drink tonight, don’t you? I’ll just take a rain check. Brittany: Don’t go yet. The night is young. Don’t you want to see my apartment? Tri: Sure I do, but let’s make it another time. I really do have to go. Brittany: Spoilsport!
