RICK: |
Jackson, how are you feeling? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
JACKSON: |
Not
bad. My arm still hurts, but I can use it. See? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
RICK: |
Are
you working? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
JACKSON: |
Yes. I went back this week. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
What happened to your arm? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
JACKSON: |
I
fell on it while I was playing softball. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
Can
you still play? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
JACKSON: |
Yes, it's not the arm I throw with. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
RICK: |
It
hurts when you bat, doesn't it? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
JACKSON: |
Yes, a little. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
SALLY: |
Hi,
everybody. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
RICK: |
Sally! Sit over here beside Martin. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
SALLY: |
Thanks. I'm Sally Moulton. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
I'm
Martin Learner. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
RICK: |
How
are you doing? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
SALLY: |
OK.
I love this warm weather. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
JACKSON: |
It's better than last week. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
SALLY: |
I'm
not happy when it rains so much. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
TONY: |
I
don't like it when it rains either. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
SALLY: |
It's not good for business, is it? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
TONY: |
Not
for my business. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
JACKSON: |
How
is business? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
TONY: |
It's been slow this summer. We've had too much rain and cold
weather. People don't go to the lake in such weather. How's your
business? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
JACKSON: |
Not
very good. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
What do you do? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
JACKSON: |
I'm
a roofing contractor. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
What does that mean? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
JACKSON: |
I
put roofs on new buildings. Or I put new roofs on old buildings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
What kind of weather do you like for your work? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
JACKSON: |
Hot. Hot and dry weather is best for me. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
SALLY: |
What do you do, Martin? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
I'm
a reporter. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
SALLY: |
What kind of weather is best for a reporter? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
Good weather is best for traveling. I travel a lot. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
RICK: |
But
bad weather is on the news all the time. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
I
don't report on the weather. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
TONY: |
What do you report on? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
I
write stories about people. I write about their work. I write about
their free time. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
TONY: |
You
mean sports and things like that? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
Sports, music, traveling, theater. That's why I'm here. I'm going to
write a story about the summer theater at Long Lake. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
SALLY: |
Excuse me. I must go home. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
RICK: |
How
is your dad, Sally? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
SALLY: |
Not
very well. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
RICK: |
I'm
sorry to hear that. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
JACKSON: |
Me
too. Tell him we said "Hello." |
|
|
|
|
|
|
SALLY: |
Thanks. See you soon. Goodbye, Martin. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |

What are you doing on the weekend, Jackson? |
|
|
|
|

Where do you go fishing? |
|
|
|

Sometimes we go to the lake. |
|
|
|
|
|
|

It's crowded on the weekend, isn't it? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
RICK: |
Yes, it is. On the weekend, we go to the Blue River. What are you
going to do, Tony? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
TONY: |
Work, of course. I'm busy on the weekend. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
RICK: |
If
the weather is good. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
TONY: |
Right. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
JACKSON: |
Where will you be on the weekend, Martin. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
MARTIN: |
At
home. I'll be at the theater tomorrow. Then I'll drive to the
airport tomorrow night. Then I'll fly home. Now, I must go to bed.
It was nice to talk with you. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
RICK: |
[WITH
JACKSON AND TONY] Good night. Bye. See
you. |
|
|
|
|
|
