    Lesson 5 I wish I didn't have to keep any secret from you.
   
    SCENE ONE : THE PARK
Rita:    I wished I hadn't started my diet today.
Terry:    Why? Are you still hungry?
Rita:    I am starving. There's nothing left in here. I wish I have packed a huge turkey sandwich on a roll with mustard and mayonnasie and lettuce and tomato and cheese.
Terry:    I wish I had known. I wouldn't have eaten everything.
Rita:    No, it's better this way.
Terry:    Are you sure? Do you want to go into town to buy something to eat?
Rita:    I'd rather stay here.
Terry:    All right, whatever you say.
Rita:    Mmmm.
Terry:    What?
Rita:    Do you have anything left in that bag?
Terry:    I have a bag of potato chips.
Rita:    I wish you hadn't mentioned potato chips. Now I'm going to be thinking of potato chips all day.
Terry:    Would you like some?
Rita:    I wish you hadn't offered.
Terry:    Well, what  was I supposed to do?
Rita:    Oh, give me the potato chips.
Terry:    Think of something else... Such a beautiful day.
Rita:    Yes. I wish I didn't have to go back to work.
Terry:    I wished I hadn't had to work this morning. We could have taken a drive somewhere.
Rita:    That would have been nice.
Terry:    Rita, did you send in your application for veterinarian school.
Rita:    No. I can't make up my mind what to do. I wish I had never thought about retiring. It was all so much easier when I woke up in the morning, went to work, and came home.
Terry:    I'd never heard you sound so down.
Rita:    Sorry.
Terry:    What's bothering you?
Rita:    It has to do with all this stuff that's been going on at the station.
Terry:    What do you mean?
Rita:    I don't like it.
Terry:    Neither do I. But it's not stopping me from enjoying this beautiful day.
Rita:    That's what's bothering me.
Terry:    What are you getting that?
Rita:    Maybe I don't know enough about you. What are you up to?
Terry:    It sounds like you're accusing me of something. How come?
Rita:    Well...
Terry:    Well? I don't understand what you're talking about.
Rita:    Why do you spend so much time in the editing room? What are you working on? What is this project you won't tell me about?
Terry:    I wish I could tell you. I wish I didn't have to keep any secrets from you. But I really can't tell you about this, Rita. I 'am sorry.  You'll know about it soon enough. I'm surprised at you.
Rita:    Why are you surprised at me?
Terry:    Because I thought we were honest with each other. I thought our relationship was based on love, respect and trust.
Rita:    You're right. I'm sorry. I just wish you could tell me.
Terry:    Well, I wish you trusted me more, Rita.
Rita:    I do. I love you Terry.
Terry:    Then run away with me.
Rita:    I wish I could.

    LESSON 6 I wish I could edit the story like that

    SCENE ONE: THE EDITING ROOM
Chris:    I really appreciate watching you work. You are so fast.
Roger:    Sure. You can watch anytime.
Chris:    I wish I could have gone to the Nature Center with Jake. I'm helping him with a story.
Roger:    So I understand.
Chris:    I'm not very expereinced yet.
Roger:    You're just learning. I'm happy to help. Let's see what we've got here. This is a story that Jake recorded last week.
   
Jake:    And now, in Sports, it's the Stamford Tennis Matches. In the men's final , David Cross won today in a close match against veteran Charlie Rice. In the last set, the score was tied. The match was close, but Charlie Rice's serve was off and he became tired. The final score was six to four.
   
Roger:    I wish Rice had won. He looked so good in the beginning of the game.
Chris:    Rice missed too many serves. If he had served better, He would have won the game. I think David Cross was terrific. What a game!
Roger:    David Cross is so young. It's just the beginning of his career. I wish he hadn't won. I wish Rice had played better.  I think he would have won the game if he hadn't been so tired.
Chris:    Charlie Rice wasn't in very good shape. If he had been in a better shape, I think he would have won.
Roger:    Uh, here's the story about the United States Tennis Association. The player-developement programm helps train young tennis players.
   
Stan Smith:    The great champions, uh, are born and, uh, they're all so trained. Here we have some talent; we don't know if we have any great champions, eh, in this group. But if they do have great potential to be a champion, you know, we'll help them along the way.
   
Nick Saviano:    At this point, the key is that you want them to develop a game which isn't going limit them later on, and if you can make a little impact now when they're twelve years old, it goes a long long way.
   
Stan Smith:    Some of the things that you go through on the tennis court, you know, coming back, uh, from adversit, from  having an injury, from getting behind, from getting discouraged, from struggling-Uh, those are all things that we go through in life in general. Hopefully, we can influence them in a way that might help them in their entire life, and not just in tennis.
   
Roger:    It's good. What do you think?
Chris:    If I have been there, I would have talked to more people. There were only six interviews.
Roger:    That would have been interesting.
Chris:    I wish I could edit a story like that.
Roger:    Here, let me show you something else.
   
Roger:    If he had put it together with this shot, he would have made a much more interesting point.
Chris:    I wish I had thought about that. You're such a good editor.
Roger:    Thanks. Chris. I wish I have more time, but...
Chris:    That's okay. You've been very helpful.
Roger:    You'll learn more as you go along.
Chris:    But you're so fast. How do you edit so fast? I've never seen anybody work so fast.

    LESSON 7 These young people are all about become teachers

SCENE ONE: THE "HELLO AMERICA" SET   
Jake:    Good evening, I'm Jake Seltzer, and this is Hello America. Tonight, a report on teachers.
Jake:    These young people are all about to become teachers. But they are not enough of them. Experts are trying to convince young people like these to choose teaching as a career. Professor Marvin Bressler of Princeton University said it was an enormous privilege to be a teacher.
Professor bressler    It is an enormous privilege to be a teacher and to see people come alive from time to time.
Jake:    Alan Guskin told the audience that young people could make a difference.
Alan Guskin:    The message left behind was that young people could make difference in helping to create a better and more peaceful world.
Jake:    Many teachers will be retiring soon. There are not enough young teachers to replace them. According to the Mary Futrell, we will need 1.4 million new teachers.
Mary Futreell    Uh, we will need approximately 1.4 million new teachers before the end of this decade, and those will be teachers at every grade level. Uh, every community in the country will be looking for new teachers.
Jake:    Not everyone can be a teacher. It's a very difficult job. Thomas Gilhool was a lawyer. Now he's a full time teacher. But it wasn't easy.
Thomas Gilhool    I've been a full time teacher, I can say now, proudly, for eight days. At the third day, I did not think I would see the eighth day.
Jake:    How important are teachers? The President said yesterday that our future would depend on good schools. The experts tell us good schools depend on good teachers. As Thomas Gilhool said, "Teaching isn't easy, but it can be the most rewarding job in the world." I'm Jake Seltzer. Goodbye for now.


Jake:    Did everything work this time? Were there any strange problems?
Steven:    No. I don't think we have any techinical mistakes.
Jake:    That's a good news.
Steven:    I want you to meet Detective Ramond Modine.
Jake:    How do you do, Detective.
Modine:    Please just call me Ray.
Jake:    I hope you can solve this little mystery.
Modine:    I hope so too, I'd like to you talk to you about it.
Jake:    Now? Do you want to talk to me now?
Modine:    If you have the time, Jake?
Jake:    Sure, Ray. I'll be with you in a minute.
Jake:    Steven, I need to talk to you when you have a chance.
Steven:    What do you want to talk about?
Jake:    Thomas Ames.
Steven:    What about him?
Jake:    He's involved in the story I'm working on. I need some background information. You know him, don't you?
Steven:    Yeah, I know him. Come to the office later, and we'll talk.

    Lesson 8 Did Terry really ask you run away with him?
   
    SCENE ONE: THE "HELLO AMERICA" SET
Jake:    Okay, Ray. Why don't we talk right here? I'd like to finish quickly, I have a lot of work to do.
Modine:    This may take a while.
Jake:    Do you think someone is sabotaging the station deliberately?
Modine:    Yes, I do.
Jake:    You know who it is?
Modine:    No. Not yet.
Jake:    Have you interviewed other people at the station?
Modine:    Yes, I have. This isn't working out, Jake.
Jake:    Why?
Modine:    I'll ask the questions, if you don't mind.
Jake:    Ok. Shoot.
Modine:    Do you think someone is sabostaging the station deleberately? Do you know who it is?
Jake:    Yes, I do, and no, I don't.
Modine:    This may take a while...Let's talk about the people here. What do you know about Roger?
Jake:    Roger couldn't possibly be causing the problem. He just started working here. He has absolutely no reason to sabotage anything.
Modine:    Does he know anyone in Stamford?
Jake:    No. But there was a strange coincidence with a glove.
   
    SCENE TWO: THE EDITING ROOM
Jake:    Roger had the same glove as Ames. So do Terry. It probably(此处我认为应该是Probably It ) doesn't mean anything. Anyway, he's a nice guy.
   
    SCENE THREE: THE EDITING ROOM, LATER THE SAME DAY
Jake:    Do you know anything about Thomas Ames?
Roger:    I've never heard of him. I don't know anything about him.
Jake:    That's interesting. Ames said he knew you.
Roger:    You are very clever. You always have been. But I know your interviewing tactics. You'are trying to find out what I know. But I'm telling you I don't know anything about him. Look, here's the shot we are looking for.
   
    SCENE FOUR: THE MAKEUP ROOM
Chris:    Did Terry really ask you to run away with him?
Rita:    Yes. Isn't that sweet?
Chris:    It is. He's so romantic.
Rita:    Yeah.
Chris:    I wish someone would ask me to run away with him.
Rita:    One day someone will.
Chris:    Well. Are you going to?
Rita:    What?
Chris:    Run away with him. I asked you if you would run away with him?
Rita:    Ho, I don't know enough about him. At times, he is very secretive. Besides, I still don't know I'll do after I retire.
Chris:    Are you still upset about retiring?
Rita:    Not really. I'm kind of looking forward to it.
Chris:    Wow. What a difference! How did you do that?
Rita:    The tricks of the trade. Have you ever thought about wearing your hair up?
Chris:    I've thought about it, but I don't think it would look good. Do you?
Rita:    I think I would look great.
Chris:    You do?
Rita:    Yes, I do. Do you want to try it?
Chris:    Oh, I don't know.
Rita:    Oh, come on! Be daring. Try it. You can always take it down.
Chris:    All right.
Rita:    When are you going to do your report?
Chris:    Report? Oh, this isn't for a story.
Rita:    I thought we were doing this for your tape.
Chris:    Not exactly. But it's for my career, sort of... Okay, I'm ready. Do whatever you want.

    Lesson 9 He just asked if I would take you off the story.
   
    SCENE ONE: THE OFFICE
Steven:    He is a reporter. I can't control him.Ames, get off my back…Come in.
   
Jake:    How are you, Steven?
Steven:    How can you ask me that? Have you seen the paper?
Jake:    Yes. The news isn't good.
Steven:    The advistisers are leaving WEFL because we don't have enough viewers. Peter Case won't be able to give the station away. Our news operation is a joke. With news like that how well can I be?
Jake:    I'm sorry. Is Detective Modine making any progress?
Steven:    He spoke to a few people. He's been asking a lot of questions, I'm not sure what he's found out yet.
Jake:    Steven, what's your connection to Thomas Ames?
Steven:    I don't have a connection.
Jake:    Do you know him ?
Steven:    Yes. What do you know about Ames?
Jake:    I interviewed him several days ago. He's the head of Mirage Realty. He didn't tell me much about himself.
Steven:    Did he ask many questions about me?
Jake:    No.
Steven:    Did he ask about the staion?
Jake:    No. Why would he ask about the staion?
Steven:    Because he wants to buy it.
Jake:    Is Peter going to sell it to him?
Steven:    Not at the price he's offered.
Jake:    When did he start trying to buy the station?
Steven:    It's been a while now. Why?
Jake:    Did he ever mention me to you?
Steven:    Not until today.
Jake:    You spoke to him today?
Steven:    Yes. He just called, as a matter of fact. He asked me to stop you from doing the Nature Center story.
Jake:    The man is despicable! That's probably why he wants to buy the sation. I'm learning something important-- something he doesn't want me to find out.
Steven:    Jake, I can't stand Ames. But he isn't trying to buy the station to stop you. He's been after the statioin for some time. He asked Case if he would sell the station to him six months ago.
Jake:    And he tried to buy it from Sam Finch, the previous owner. How much has Ames told you about himself.
Steven:    Not much. I've learned a few things. We've had a few meeting.
Jake:    Steven, he's building apartments right next to the Nature Center. He's going to ruin it. Has he ever said anything about it to you?
Steven:    Of course not. The man is not stupid.
Jake:    How much has he asked you about me?
Steven:    Nothing until now. He just asked if I would take you off the story.
Jake:    You aren't going to ask me do that, are you? Steven?
Steven:    What do you think?
Jake:    Normally I don't think you would, but we're losing a lot of money. You don't lose your job.
Steven:    That's true, Jake. But I have my standards.
Jake:    So you're not going to try to stop me?
Steven:    On the contrary. I want you to find out everything you can about Thomas Ames and expose him for what he is.
Jake:    And what is Thomas Ames?
Steven:    He's a greedy, evil good for nothing.
Jake:    I never heard you talk about anybody at that way.
   
Jake:    What's that?
Steven:    It's for my stomach. My doctor says I'm an ulcer.He says if I don't calm down, I'm going to wind up in the hospital.
Jake:    You're too nervous. Don't worry, Steven. I'm going to figure this out.
Steven:    Hurry, Jake. We don't have much time.

    LESSON 10 MAY I HAVE THE SODA, PLEASE
   
    SCENE ONE: THE STUDIO
Chris:    Oh. I thought you were somebody else.
Modine:    Jake, perhaps.
Chris:    I guess you know a lot about everything what happens here.
Modine:    It's my job.
Chris:    My appointment with you wasn't till later.
Modine:    I had a bit of time so I thought I could talk to you now, if that's all right.
Chris:    I was waiting for Jake.
Modine:    I won't be long.
Chris:    Who knows if he's coming anyway? So. Are you hungry?
Modine:    Yes. As a matter of fact, I am.
Chris:    Do you want some pizza?
Modine:    Thank you.
Chris:    Could you please help me a plate?
Modine:    Delighted.
Chris:    Here's a slice for you.
Modine:    Thank you. Would you mind handing me a napkin?
Chris:    Sure. Do you want some soda?
Modine:    No. Thanks. I'd like a cup of coffee.
Chris:    The coffee machine is around the corner.
Modine:    I saw it when I came in. The coffe pot is empty.
Chris:    I could make some more, if you like.
Modine:    No. That's okay.
Chris:    So...You are not at all what I expected.
Modine:    No?
Chris:    Nope. I thought you'd be some guy in a rumpled raincoat.
Modine:    No rumpled raincoat. I have to ask you some questioins now.
Chris:    Sure.
Modine:    Who do you think has been sebotaging the station?
Chris:    I don't know. I'm totally confused. First, I thought it was Terry. Then I thought it was Mike. Then for a second, I even thought it was Jake. It's definitely not Rita.
Modine:    Good thinking. May I have the soda, please?
Chris:    Sure. Here is a glass... How is the pizza?
Modine:    Very good.
Chris:    Glad you like it. So, what do you think did it?
Modine:    You.
Chris:    What?
Modine:    You were around every time it happened. You have no vested interest in the station.
Chris:    This is so unfair of you. I don't know how could you possibly think I had anything to do with it.
Modine:    Come on, Chris. You had access to the editing room. What were you doing here late one night?
Chris:    Was that you sneaking around that night?
Modine:    You're the one under investigation.
Chris:    I had nothing to do with any of this!
Modine:    Then why were you doing here by yourself that night?
Chris:    I was working on a project.
Modine:    At eleven o'clock at night? Why couldn't you do the project during the day?
Chris:    What do you mean?
Modine:    How well do you know Thomas Ames?
Chris:    Thomas Ames? What are you talking about?
Modine:    I don't know, that's what I'd like you to tell me.
Chris:    Well, you don't know what you are talking about. I had nothing to do with it. Why don't you ask Jake or Mike? Why don't you talk to Terry? He's always working late at night in the editing room, you know.
Modine:    Actually I didn't know that. Thanks for answering the questiongs. I knew you would be helpful. And thank you too, for the pizza and the soda. A delightful dinner at the conference table. I'll be around to see you again. By the way...
Chris:    Yes?
Modine:    I like your hair.
Chris:    Oooh, that makes me so mad!

    LESSON 11 you were supposed to be here an hour ago
   
    SCENE ONE: THE STUDIO
Chris:    What?
Jake:    Hi.what happened to you?
Chris:    You weren't supposed to see me like this. You were supposed to be here an hour ago.
Jake:    I had to meet with Steven. I'm sorry.
Chris:    This isn't what supposed to happen.
Jake:    What was supposed to happen?
Chris:    You were supposed to come in and I was supposed to look beautiful. I was supposed to look calm and cool. You were supposed to forget all about the disagreement we had. You were supposed to fall madly in love with me.
Jake:    I still might fall madly in love with you.
Chris:    Really?
Jake:    Maybe.What happened?
Chris:    Detective Modine.
Jake:    He met with you.
Chris:    He came and accused me of causing all the trouble here.
Jake:    No. Really? He accused you?
Chris:    That was supposed to be funny.
Jake:    Sorry.
Chris:    I don't think he thought it was me. I just think he was trying to trick me into giving him some infomation.
Jake:    Do you have any to give?
Chris:    Yes. I was saving it for you. Now Detective Modine knows too.
Jake:    What is it?
Chris:    Terry Smithers.
Jake:    What about him?
Chris:    He's doing something in the editing room every night.
Jake:    How did you find that out?
Chris:    Never mind. I have my ways.
Jake:    That's interesting. He seems so nice. I wonder about Roger. I talked with him today.
Chris:    I talked to him too, I helped him edit a tennis story.
Jake:    Did you tell Detective Modine about Terry?
Chris:    Yes. I had to. Are you angry?
Jake:    Why should I be angry? You're supposed to tell him everything. Listen, now that I know this, uh, I have to go.
Chris:    Don't you want some pizza?
Jake:    No. it looks cold... I've got to go.
Chris:    I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go.
Jake:    I forgot this...By the way, you look terrific.
   
    SCENE TWO: ANOTHER PLACE OF THE STUDIO
Steven:    You're supposed to solve all this mystery soon. Do you think you'll have an answer for me in the next 24 hours?
Modine:    I think I'll be able tell you sooner.
Steven:    You don't actually think that Chris had anything to do with our problems.
Modine:    No. I'm sure she had nothing to do with them, but I do think she has some interesting infomation. She tells me that Terry works  in the editing room at night. And she has some great pizza up there. You should get yourslef a slice.
Steven:    I can't. I'll have to do without pizza. I'm not supposed to eat any until my stomach clears up.
Modine:    Well, your problems will all be over soon. I have to hurry, I parked my car in a lot with parking meters.
Steven:    You aren't supposed to park there for more than an hour.
Modine:    Actually it is a one-hour meter. It's supposed to run for two hours. The meter runs out in exactly four and a half munites.
Steven:    I could have gotten your permit to park in the garage here.
Modine:    No, that's okay. I never get tickets because I time myself. May I alarm goes off,... I know that I have to leave. See you tomorrow, Steven. Get some sleep

    LESSON 12 Maybe I'd better to show this to Detective Modine
   
    SCENE ONE: THE PARKING LOT
Modine    Hah! The metre ran out. It's fast.
Chris:    So.They caught you, huh? You can't park here for longer than 2 hours. You broke the law, Ray.
Modine    I'd never gotten a parking ticket.
Chris:    You are supposed to put money in the parking meter.
Modine    I did. It was fast.
Chris:    Why didn't you park in the garage under the station?
Modine    You're supposed to have a permit...I don't understand. What am I supposed to do with this?
Chris:    You are the law officer. You're supposed to send sixteen dollars to the address on the ticket.
Modine    I won't pay it.
Chris:    Then it says on the ticket that you have to appear in court.
Modine    Court? Where are you going?
Chris:    I had interviews of everyone here. I'm going to look for clues.
   
    SCENE TWO: THE EDITING ROOM
Chris:    Okay. Let's see the evidence. What were people doing before the wrong tapes went on the air? Why would they sabotage the station.
Jake:    When the tapes were playing, I was on the air. Before we started, I was going over my script on the set.
Mike:    Jake asked me to get him a map for him in the gloves compartment of his car. He told me to look at the map and find the building site for the apartments at the Nature Center. I also had to get the camera. It was in the trunk of my car. My car was parked in the garage, so I didn't return for half an hour. I got back just in time to see Rita's tape.
Chris:    This is complicated... And I need some paper and a pen. I also have to get the notes I took last night... Ok. Where was the tape with the singing lesson, Rita? Where did you leave the tape?
Rita:    Oh. I left it on a shelf in the editing room. The shelf was empty. The tape had a label on it. No one could have made a mistake.
Chris:    What happened then?
Rita:    Well. Terry and I had a picnic in the park. At first, the sun were shining. Then all of a sudden, the clouds got very dark. The sky got almost black, and we knew it was going to rain any munite. So we left the park and came back to the station. That's when I saw the tape on the monitor.
Chris:    So, Terry was with you?
Rita:    Not the whole time. I asked Terry if he could go to the store for me. I needed a small mirror in the makeup room. The mirror I had fell on the ground and broke. He was gone for about an hour.
Chris:    I know Steven had nothing to do with this. How about Roger?
Roger:    Jake is an old friend. He asked me if I wanted a job.
Chris:    You don't have a job?
Roger:    I became so successful that I started a small editing company. A company edits programs for all the stations.
Chris:    Where were you when Rita's tape went on the air?
Roger:    I was in the editing room. I never saw the tape.
Chris:    You were in the editing room right before Rita's tape went on the air. Did you see anyone else?
Roger:    No. No one came in for at least an hour.
Chris:    I think I know what happened. Maybe I'd better show this to Detective Modine.
