M: Hey, Joanne. What’s up?

W: I’ m trying to get there as fast as I can. I need to deposit some money at the bank and mail some letters at the post office. But first, I’ve really got to find a ladies’ room!

W: Have you looked in the mirror today?

M: Uh, not since I woke up this morning… Why? Did I forget to do my hair or something?

W: Well, let’s just say that green ties and pink shirts don’t really mix…

M: I’m starving! What have you got to eat around here?

W: Um, not much. I really wasn’t expecting anyone over, so…

M: All you have in here is some salad and one of those health drinks that only girls drink…

W: Look. I don’t show up at your door without calling and criticize your food, do I?

W: Do you have any idea what time is it now? Have you ever heard your phone?

M: I’m sorry. But my phone ran out of power. I got back here as fast as I could because I knew you’d be worried.

W: Hi, James! It’s me, Diane. Oh, I’m so glad I caught you. I was just talking to Drake, and…

M: I’ sorry. But I think you dialed the wrong number. My name is Daniel.

W: Hi, welcome to Burger Palace. Can I take your order, please?

M:Yeah. Two bacon cheeseburgers and two orders of fries, please.

W: All right. Would you like anything to drink with that?

M: No,thanks. We’ve got sodas at home.

W: So, that’s going to be to go, right?

M: That’s right. 

W: OK. Your total is $ 17.

M: Here is a twenty. Keep the change.

W: Oh, thank you so much! You are Number 255. Your order should be ready in about five minutes.

M: Can you see how close we are on the map?

W: It looks like we’re pretty close, but these smart phone maps are hard to read.

M: Yeah, I always prefer to look at a paper map. I think I still have some in the pocket of the right door, if you wanna grap one…

W: No, I’d probably be even worse at that. Uh-oh, I think you were supposed to turn left there.

M: You mean that you were supposed to tell me to turn left back there?

W: Yeah, I’ sorry. I don’t have one of these kinds of phones, so I’m afraid I don’t really know what I’m doing. Do you want to pull over and take a look?

M: No. It’s OK. Just push that little button on the side of the phone to turn on the sound. That will allow us to hear the directions out loud.

W: Hey, are you watching YouTube?

M: Yeah. I love all the funny videos that people post.

W: Have you ever seen the YouTube show Epic Meal Time?（《超级开饭时间》）

M: Uh, no. I didn’t know YouTube had shows. I thought it was only home videos and music videos… stuff like that.

W: Well, YouTube also has channels, just like regular TV. There are many different kinds of shows every week. Most of them are shorter and cheaper to make than regular TV , though.

M: YouTube is even cooler that I thought! So, what’s Epic Meal Time?

W: There’s a group of guys who make the unhealthy meals they can possibly cook. Everything has bacon on it. Most things are fried, and there is a ton of cheese on everything. We’re taking in tens of thousands of calories in one meal! In this show, the main guy introduces the meal, and then you see them shopping for the ingredients. You watch them cook everything. And at the end, they all eat it with their friends!

W: Brett, can I ask you a question about your dog?

M: Sure. What’s up?

W: Well, I have to get my little Ferguson some medicine.

M: Oh, is everything all right?

W: Yes, of course. It’s not like he’s sick or anything. I give him medicine every month as part of his regular care, so he doesn’t get any diseases from insects or other dogs.

M: Oh, right. I do that for Fargo, too.

W: Yeah. That was what I was going to ask you about. Where do you buy your dog’s medicine? I asked my vet, and she told me the prices. I almost dropped dead right there!

M: Yeah. Unfortunately, most special pet stores sell them at fixed prices that are set by the campanies that make them. You can usually find discounts of ten or fifteen percent for a lot of those stores, though.

W: Well, that’s not a huge help for something that’s  two hundred dollars per year! Isn’t there any other way?

M: Well, you can order some medicines from websites that are based in other countries where the prices are lower.

This is the Lakewood Public Address System. This is not a test like the one we had last week. I repeat, this is not a test. The Western Hill Fire is spreading toward Lakewood much quicker than we had expected. Currently, we expect the fire to come within twenty miles of Lakewood by six o’clock this evening. We are therefore requiring all residents to leave this area immediately.

Springfield to the north, Point Cabina Station to the east, and Galveston to the south are all in the safe zone. It will take less than thirty minutes to drive to any of these towns. Take as many things as you can fit in your car, but do not delay. We have orders from the state police to make sure that the entire town of Lakewood is empty by five o’clock today. You have plenty of time to get all your family members, pets, and belongings together, so there is no need to panic. Stay calm, but get started as soon as possible.
