     I want you to think about these two again.
     I know both of them.
     They're excellent actors.
Linda: I like the older one.
Steven:This one.
Linda: Yes,because the actor has to be older than Mary Beth,
     and he has to be taller than she is.
Steven:Nope.He's too short.
     He's an inch shorter.
Linda: Then he's not right for the role.

Steven:Good.
Linda: Mike,we can't decide.
      Which one do you like better?
Mike: For which role?
Linda: The starring role.
Mike: Well,this guy looks bigger.
Linda: Bigger?
      You mean heavier?
Mike: Yeah.He's too fat.
Linda: Then you like this actor better.
Mike: Right.I know this guy.
     He's good actor.
     I know his work.
     See those eyes?
     It's the eyes that show emotion.

Lesson2 But he has everything else.

SCENE ONE&TWO:THE STUDIO AND THE CONTROL ROOM

Steven:Hi,Jeff.
    How are you today?
Jeff: Oh.Uh...fine.
  I'm fine.

Steven:No need to be nervous, Jeff.
  We're just going to talk for a few minutes.
  Why don't you take a seat?
Linda: I think he's handsome.
  The female viewers are goingto love him.
Steven:I agree.
  He's good-looking.
  I'd like to ask you a few questions.
Jeff: Oh.Sure.
  I love questions.
  Great.
Steven:Can you sing,Jeff?
Jeff: Can I sing?
    I didn't know this show had any singing.
Steven:It doesn't.
    I just want to know about your experience.
Jeff: Oh,yeah,
  yes，I can sing.
  I took five years of voice lessons.
Linda: He does have a good voice.
Steven:Can you dance?
Jeff: Yes.I was in a musical show last summer.
Steven:Are you more interested in theater or in television?
Jeff: I'm more interested in television.
  Definitely.
Steven:Jeff,do you have more experience in television or in theater?
Jeff: Well.I have more experience in theater.
  But I did a TV show for KNEB.
Steven:In Los Angeles?
Jeff: Yes.I lived in Los Angeles,
    oh,two years ago.
    I didn't want to stay there.
    I like New York better.
    It's more exciting than Los Angeles.
Linda: I know he doesn't have much experience.
    But he has everything else.
    He's more energetic,
    he's more intelligent,
    he's more talented.
Steven:And he's more nervous.
    Linda,I think we're talking a chance on this guy.
Linda: I disagree.
    Oh,Steven,
    just look at that face!
    He's more photogenic than any of the other actors.
Steven:All right...
    All right.
Linda: What do you think of Stamford?
Jeff: I love Stamford.
  I grew up here,you know.
Steven:No,I didn't that now.
    How would you compare New
  York with Stamford?
Jeff: Well,New York is more interesting,
    but it's also more expensive,
    more crowed.
  When you're trying to sleep,
    you find out it's much noisier.
    Stamford is much more beautiful than New York.
    And the people are much friendlier.
Steven:Well,I hope you think Linda and I are friendly too,
    since we're going to be working together.
Linda: You have the role,Jeff.
    Welcome to WEFL.
Jeff: Terrific!
    I can't wait to get started!

Lesson 03 This new job is my big break.

SCENE ONE: THE BENNETT FAMILY KITCHEN

JEFF: That was a good dinner, Mom.
MRS. BENNETT: I'm sorry your dad isn't here.
  But now you can come home more often, Jeff.
  We're a family again.
JEFF: I guess so.
  Can I help with the dishes?
MRS. BENNETT: Oh, I can wash those later.
JEFF: OK.
MRS. BENNETT: How are you going to get from New York to Stamford every day,
  now that you're working here?
JEFF: Oh, I'm going to give up my apartment in New York.
MRS. BENNETT: And get one in Stamford?
JEFF: Sure, I want to be near my job.
MRS. BENNETT: Where are you planning to live?
  There are some nice apartment buildings nearby. . .
    over on Baker Street.
JEFF: I think I can find something closer to WEFL.
    I may as well live close to work.
MRS. BENNETT: Well, rents out here are certainly lower than rents in New York.
JEFF: Mother,
    I make much more money now.
MRS. BENNETT: Good.
    Then you aren't going to end up in another old building like the one in New York.
JEFF: I think I can get a nicer apartment.
MRS. BENNETT: This new job-
    how long will it last?
    I just hope this is a better idea than your move to Los Angeles.
    You didn't like it there.
JEFF: I hope so too, Mom.
MRS. BENNETT: I know you're going to be successful.
JEFF: It's my first starring role.
    But this show is going to be a hit.
    If I stay,
    I can make good money and I'm going to get bigger roles in the future.
    I know it.
MRS. BENNETT: Are you going to work all the time,
    or are you going to have time to meet people?
JEFF: You mean,
    am I going to have time to meet girlfriends?
MRS. BENNETT: Well. . .
JEFF: Living closer to work will give me more free time.
    Anyway,
    it's easier to meet girls here than in New York.
MRS. BENNETT: Good.

SCENE TWO: THE STUDIO

JEFF: This new job is my big break.
    It's a bigger role than anything I had in New York.
    And it's more exciting role than anything I had in Los Angeles.
    This is my chance to make it big in television.
    I want my parents to be proud of me.
    I think I can do a good job.
    But I'm the star,
    and I'm a little scared.
    Steven Winn -
    I don't know what he thinks of me.
    But Linda Marino -
  she's friendlier than he is.
  And more helpful.
  I'm going to like working with her.
  Actually,
  I think I'm going to like working with everyone here.
