| [00:00.50] | Playing Games |
| [00:02.25] | ACT II |
| [00:04.97] | Oh, Daddy! |
| [00:06.22] | We had such a good time at the aquarium. |
| [00:08.17] | I saw a real shark. |
| [00:09.26] | I could almost touch it. |
| [00:10.55] | I'm so glad. |
| [00:12.42] | Hi. Michelle, |
| [00:13.74] | why don't you introduce everybody to Susan? |
| [00:15.61] | Hi, Susan. |
| [00:16.22] | Hi. |
| [00:17.49] | I'd like you to meet Audrey and her mother, Mrs. Cooper. |
| [00:20.67] | Hello, Audrey. |
| [00:21.59] | Nice to meet you, Mrs. Cooper. |
| [00:22.91] | I'm Susan Stewart. |
| [00:24.43] | And this is Shirley and Nicole. |
| [00:26.91] | Hi, girls. |
| [00:28.55] | Come on in. |
| [00:29.06] | Come on in, Mrs. Cooper. |
| [00:29.89] | Come on in, everybody. |
| [00:30.82] | The aquarium was so exciting. |
| [00:32.05] | I had never been there before. |
| [00:33.70] | The girls learned a great deal. |
| [00:35.54] | Frankly, so did I. |
| [00:35.97] | Well, please sit down |
| [00:38.34] | and tell us all about it during lunch. |
| [00:40.08] | We prepared some tuna fish |
| [00:42.07] | and cheese sandwiches for lunch. |
| [00:44.80] | I love tuna fish. |
| [00:46.29] | Don't you, Audrey? |
| [00:50.20] | I remember when I used to be a Girl Scout. |
| [00:52.57] | My mother would take us everywhere, too. |
| [00:55.90] | Susan, I understand you're in the toy business. |
| [00:58.09] | Yes, I am. |
| [00:59.10] | My company manufactures toys and games for children. |
| [01:01.06] | Susan's vice-president in charge of new toys and games. |
| [01:04.55] | And the marketing of new toys and games. |
| [01:06.80] | Can we test a new game for you, Susan? |
| [01:08.98] | That's an excellent idea, Michelle. |
| [01:10.53] | I happen to have |
| [01:12.43] | a game which I brought home to study. |
| [01:13.26] | Let us try it! |
| [01:14.06] | Do you want to play? |
| [01:15.63] | Nicole? Shirley? Audrey? |
| [01:19.79] | We tested it last week on twelve- to fifteen-year-olds, |
| [01:23.01] | and they found it to be too easy-- |
| [01:25.86] | in other words ... boring. |
| [01:27.71] | We think it might be just right for ten- to twelve-year-olds. |
| [01:30.83] | That's us, Susan. |
| [01:31.95] | First, you shuffle the deck |
| [01:35.66] | and lay them face down. |
| [01:39.67] | Then you select the leader. |
| [01:41.94] | I'll be the leader. |
| [01:44.28] | The leader takes the first ten cards |
| [01:47.22] | and lays them face up on this stand. |
| [01:50.38] | h-t-e-r-c-z-e-p-e-s. |
| [02:12.60] | Everyone gets a turn, going counterclockwise, |
| [02:15.29] | left to right. |
| [02:17.06] | You have thirty seconds to make a word, |
| [02:23.02] | using as many letters as possible. |
| [02:25.65] | You get one point for each letter, |
| [02:28.30] | plus the person with the longest word gets ten extra points. |
| [02:33.39] | The first one to get one hundred points wins. |
| [02:36.35] | That's easy. |
| [02:37.67] | OK, let's go around the table. |
| [02:40.35] | You first, Audrey. |
| [02:49.37] | Chest--c-h-e-s-t. |
| [02:56.50] | Good. |
| [02:57.75] | That's five points. |
| [03:00.13] | Next, Nicole. |
| [03:07.40] | Three--t-h-r-e-e. |
| [03:14.70] | OK. |
| [03:15.55] | That's five points also. |
| [03:17.71] | It's your turn, Shirley. |
| [03:25.60] | Creep--c-r-e-e-p. |
| [03:32.98] | Creep. |
| [03:34.27] | That's another five-letter word. |
| [03:36.17] | Five points. |
| [03:36.99] | So far, you're all tied. |
| [03:38.92] | Sheet--s-h-e-e-t. |
| [03:41.76] | Sheet is a five-letter word. |
| [03:46.00] | Michelle, your turn. |
| [03:47.48] | Cheese--c-h-e-e-s-e. |
| [03:51.87] | Terrific! |
| [03:52.52] | Michelle wins with a six-letter word, |
| [03:54.39] | plus she gets an additional ten points |
| [03:57.37] | for a total of sixteen points. |
| [03:59.27] | How are you enjoying the game so far? |
| [04:01.06] | I think it's too easy. |
| [04:03.36] | Too easy? |
| [04:05.19] | Michelle! |
| [04:06.31] | It's OK, Harry. |
| [04:07.34] | Michelle is quite right. |
| [04:08.90] | She just said it's too easy. |
| [04:10.97] | Well, I like the game. |
| [04:13.64] | I enjoyed lunch, Susan. |
| [04:15.15] | Thank you so much, |
| [04:16.32] | but we have to get going |
| [04:17.65] | to meet the rest of the troop at two o'clock at the museum. |
| [04:20.21] | Oh, it was nice meeting all of you. |
| [04:23.04] | I hope you have a wonderful time |
| [04:24.62] | at the Museum of Natural History. |
| [04:26.45] | Good-bye, everybody. |
| [04:27.47] | Have a good time. |
| [04:28.08] | Bye. |
| [04:29.03] | See you in front of the museum at five o'clock. |
| [04:29.83] | Oh, OK. |
| [04:32.22] | Thanks, Mr. Bennett. |
| [04:32.66] | That'll be fine. |
| [04:33.78] | And thanks again for the lunch and for the game. |
| [04:37.48] | Good-bye, Susan. |
| [04:39.32] | It's not a bad game. |
| [04:41.76] | It's just ... slow. |
| [04:43.97] | Just slow. |
| [04:46.49] | You helped save our company a lot of money. |
| [04:48.94] | Bye-bye. |
| [04:59.65] | You are wonderful with kids. |
| [05:03.81] | I am. |
| [05:05.88] | Isn't there a conversation that we have to finish? |
