Lesson 10 Raymond Modine will be asking a lot of questions tomorrow.
SCENE ONE: THE OFFICE
Look it over and tell me what you think.
We're losing viewers.
Our owner, Peter Case, will be broken in a month, Jake.
Is the situation that bad?
It's that bad. Peter Case will have to sell the station.
There must be plenty of people out there who want to buy WEFL.
First of all, if someone else buys it, there's no guarantee that you and I will still have the jobs. And second-no
one is going to buy it, Jake... Not the price he is asking. Especially if they find that we are having techinical
difficulties.
Technical difficulties? These aren't technical difficulties. Someone is deliberately trying to hurt us.
I think so too, Jake. And I've called up a detective. His name is Raymond Modine and he'll be comeing in tomorrow.
My secretary will be handing out a letter to tell everyone at the station, explaining the situation.
Is that a good idea?
Raymond Modine will be asking a lot of questions tomorrow. You'll be here, won't you?
I'll be working at the Nature Center in the morning.
The Nature Center. That's a pretty big story. I hope we'll be able to run it.
Why shouldn't we?
Well, nothing else that we want to get on the air seems to get there. Detective Modine can see you in the afternoon,
please find some time for him.
I don't know if I will be back in time.
He'll be talking to everyone who works here. I expect you to cooperate.
Okay. But I want this solved, Steven. When I decided to stay at WEFL, I thought I was working for a solid station,
now I feel like looking for a new job.
That's your decision. I am going to do everything I can to stay here. But let me know what you're going to do.
You will be the first to know.
SCENE TWO: OUTSIDE THE STUDIO
Tonight I will be interviewing Terry. You know, he can be the one who's doing all this(这里原文是this,可我认为是
these,大家说呢?因为这件事发生了两次. 2009年1月我又重新听了一遍,用的是压码听懂的练习方法,结果发现是我自己错了,应该是this), he is an editor. He knows this equipment. And then I will be planning my interviews with Stephen
and Peter Case.
Will you be working late?
I will be working as late as I have to. And I will be waiting for you.
Why?
Won't you be staying late tonight?
No, I don't think so.
I have a lot of interviews for you to see. Will you be coming in early tomorrow?
I probably won't be coming in at all tomorrow.
Won't the Detective Modine be looking for you?
He might, but I'll be interviewing someone at the Nature Center.
Jake. I want you to look at the interviews.
I asked you for some research on the history of the Nature Center? Where is it?
I'll have it for you tomorrow.
Chris, I need the research. If you can't do it, I'll do it myself.
Thanks. I thought you were my friend. I thought you were the great journalist, the great teacher.
Yeah, well, the great journalist is going to be busy, and you'll be busy doing research on the history of the Nature
Center.
You'll have your research, Mr. Seltzer.
This is the end of lesson ten.
