| [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? |
