Unit 1 Script 1

Talia: It's all so incredible, Mom. I’m working on a story about one of the national soccer players, Nick Crawford… No, that's the thing. He knows that one of his teammates has framed him. And I believe he's innocent.

Talia: Look, Mom, I have to go. I’II call you tomorrow, OK? Bye. Yes, yes, me, too. Bye． Nick：Hi．I came as soon as I could．What’s up?

Talia：I’ve been thinking about this all day…. Now tell me, again：When and how did you meet this Jackie Baker woman?

Nick：I’ve already told you．She came up to me at the juice bar．We set up a meeting． Talia：Right．At her office．Except you never went up to her office．

Nick：Right, so she meets me in the lobby, we shake hands , and she takes me to lunch． Talia：Yes, to a little place around the corner, as I recaII.

Nick：Right. And then she asks me to endorse a new pair of shoes. Talia：Yeah. You told me they’re called Kicks.

Nick：Right. And she explains that I’ll have to wear the shoes when I play. And the company will use my name in the ads.

Talia：OK. Can you think of anything else?

Nick：Well, we did talk about an idea for a Kicks commercial． Talia：A commercial? What commercial?

Nick：I told you about that, didn’t l? They wanted me to be in a commercial．

Script 2

Talia：Hang on a second. You never said anything about a commercial. I wanna hear more about this. Don’t leave out any details. This could be important． Nick：OK. So, over lunch she describes the deal…

Jackie：So，you’ll wear our shoes when you play. And we’ll use your name in ads. Do that and fifty thousand dollars is yours.

Nick：Sounds good. And this will be sometime next year?

Jackie：Uh, yeah, that’s right. We can work out the details later for this, but we’ll probably want you to appear in a commercial.i

Nick：Cool!

Jackie：In fact. I'm working on an idea for a commercial right now. Do you wanna hear about it?

Nick：Sure.

Jackie：OK. Picture this. You’re sitting in a park. On a bench. It’s a beautiful spring day. Nick：So far, So good.

Jackie：OK. A young kid comes up to you and says, ―Hey! Aren’t you Nick Crawford, the soccer star?‖

Nick：Uh—huh.

Jackie：And you say, ―That’s me. ‖Or something like that． Nick：Right．

Jackie：And then the kid says, ―Wow! Cool shoes! What are they?‖ And you say, ―Kicks. What else?‖

Nick：That’s it? Jackie：That’s it.

Nick：So, all I have to do is sit on the bench…and talk to a kid? Jackie：That’s all you have to do.

Talia：That’s what I thought! This Jackie person recorded your conversation over lunch. Then she edited the tape. So it sounds like you’re accepting a bribe. Nick：Oh. wow!

Unit 2 Script 1

Talia: Tony, I need to see you. I have to bring you up to date on the Nick Crawford story. Tony: Come in. What's going on?

Talia: I just spoke to Nick. He was tricked. The tape was edited. He didn't take a bribe. It just sounds that way.

Tony: Well, what does your audio expert say?

Talia: I forgot to tell you. It's definitely Nick's voice. And he said the tape was definitely edited.

Tony: But I don't get it. Who's behind this?

Talia: One of Nick's teammates, Dean Bishop. He resents being in Nick's shadow. He wants to be the only star on the team.

Tony: Of course! The bottom line is ... being the star is worth a lot of money in endorsements.

Talia: Still. I can't imagine...

Tony: OK. So, now, what's your plan?

Talia: I have an idea. I need some help from Amy.

Tony: Fine. You can have another day on this and we won't run the story yet. But one more thing, Talia, I hope you're not emotionally involved in this story. Talia: Me? Emotionally involved?

Tony: I know you want to clear Nick's name. But if you want to have a career in journalism, you have to remember to stay objective.

Script 2

Patty: Hi there. What can I get for you? Amy: How about a large iced tea? Patty: Coming right up. Amy: ... and a little information. Patty: What kind of information?

Amy: I'm trying to get hold of someone named Jackie Bishop. I was told that she's a member of this club.

Patty: Hmm. She used to be, but not anymore. She stopped coming here a while ago. Maybe a year ago, even.

Amy: Oh. Too bad.

Patty: Her brother Dean, the soccer player, works out here, though. I remember

seeing him yesterday, around lunchtime. Maybe you could speak to him.

Amy: Actually, I'd rather avoid seeing him. It's a little complicated between him and me, if you know what I mean.

Patty: Oh, I see. Well, here's an idea. I think Jackie's taking acting classes over at the university. Maybe you could catch up with her there.

Amy: She's taking acting classes at the university? Patty: Mmm-hmm.

Amy: Ah.... Yes, .... That's a great idea. Thanks for the tip. Patty : Oh, likewise! Thanks! Unit 3 Script 1

Amy: Talia, are you almost here?

Talia: I’m about ten minutes away. Can you see her?

Amy: Yes. She’s sitting on a sofa. Hurry up. Classes start in about 20 minutes. Talia: Well, just go over to her and start a conversation. You’ve done your homework, haven’t you?

Amy: My homework?

Talia: I mean, have you found out What courses she’s taking, and everything? Amy: Oh, yeah. I can do a little acting myself, if that’s what you mean.

Talia: So go act like a drama student, and go and talk to her. I’ll be right there. Amy: Excuse me. You’re in the drama program, right?

Jackie: Yes! Oh, hi!

Amy: Do you know if Professor Roberts is teaching this semester?

Jackie: Yes, he is. He’s fabulous I’m in his improvisation class. In fact, it’s tonight. Amy: Oh, great.

Jackie: I’ve been taking classes here for about a year and I think he’s been my best teacher.

Amy: I know what you mean. He’s very …inspiring.

Jackie: Yes, absolutely. I’ve become a much better actor since I started taking his classes…

Amy: Yes, I’m sure you have. Script 2

Amy: Oh, I’m Amy Lee, by the way.

Jackie: Hi. Jackie Bishop. Well, that’s my real name. My stage name is Jackie Baker. Amy: So, do you have an agent?

Jackie: As a matter of fact, I spoke to an agent last week. I just sent him a tape, and he thought it was incredible.

Amy: I’m not surprised. You do seem… incredible.

Jackie: And my brother knows this film director. He’s going to introduce me to him. Amy: Oh, that’s great! Oh, wait, is your brother that soccer player…? Jackie: Dean Bishop! That’s right! He’s my elder brother. We just adore each

other! He’s a soccer star, and I’m going to be a movie star! Tonight he’s taking me out for a celebration.

Amy: Tonight? Really? What are you celebrating?

Jackie: Oh, just … this thing. Nothing really. Anyway, he’s taking me to this restaurant near here. Valentino’s. Have you ever eaten there?

Amy: Um, no … I can’t aff…

Jackie: I ate there once, and I saw Madonna. Amy: Wow!

Jackie: Yes, can you believe it? It was so exciting! Amy: I guess you have to go to the right places.

Jackie: Absolutely! I even booked the perfect table for people watching. Amy: I’m impressed. You really plan ahead. You’re amazing. Unit 4 Script 1

Amy: Talia is a researcher at Newsline. Jackie: How exciting.

Talia: Gee, you look so familiar.

Jackie: Really? We might have seen each other around campus.

Talia: I guess so. Or we may have been in a class together. I'm taking journalism classes. Jackie: No, it couldn't have been a class. I'm taking acting classes, like Amy. Talia: Oh, well. I'll probably think of it later.

Jackie: Speaking of classes, I'd better run. I don't want to be late for Professor Roberts. Talia: Hold it. I think I remember where I've seen you. Jackie: Really?

Talia: Yes. The Gower Building. Script 2

Talia : Don't you work for a shoe company? Kicks Shoes? Jackie : I'm sorry, but you can't be serious. Talia : Oh, I can be quite serious.

Jackie : Listen. I've got to go. It must be time for my class. See you, Amy. Amy: Yes. Bye, Jackie. It was great talking to you.

Talia : So what did you find out?

Amy: Listen to this. Jackie and Dean are going to Valentino's after her class tonight to celebrate. She's booked a special table.

Talia : This is perfect. Great work. You should be proud of yourself. Amy : Thanks, but it was nothing. Piece of cake, in fact.

Talia : OK, then. You call Valentino's and make a reservation for two. Amy: Oh, wow. Are we going to Valentino's? Talia : Oops ... no. I was planning on calling Nick. Amy: I see.

Talia : Thanks for being understanding.

Amy : After I call Valentino's, is there anything else you want me to do?

Talia : Yes. I'm going to need your help. We have a lot to do in the next two hours. Unit 5 Unit5 Script 1

Talia: Oh, thank goodness you got my message! Nick: Yeah. What’s going on?

Talia: Don’t worry. I’m not trying to get you to take me out on a date. I’m trying to help you save your career.

Nick: Oh, that. Yeah, right, I almost forgot.

Talia: Be serious. I care about… I care about your future. Nick: So do I!

Talia: Good—you wore a tie.

Nick: Yeah, your message said, wear a tie and a jacket. You look nice, by the way. Talia: Thanks. So do you.

Nick: What’s that?

Talia: Here. You have to put these on.

Nick: I’m sorry. Did I miss something here? Is it… is it Halloween? Are you really going to make me put these on?

Talia: Yes. And that’s how you’re going to hear their conversation. There’s an earphone in the wig. Nick: Whose conversation?

Talia: Jackie and Dean’s. They’re having dinner here. Let’s go inside. Script 2

Talia: So, as I was saying, I have a feeling Dean and Jackie are going to talk about you as soon as they get here.

Nick: Really?

Talia: Yup. And all we have to do is record their conversation. We just need to plant this at their table.

Nick: Brilliant! But wait… how will you know which table is theirs?

Talia: You forget—I’m a researcher… I asked the maitred’. That’s their table over there. I’ll be right back.

Nick: OK. I’ll watch for Jackie and Dean while you plant the mike. Talia: Good. Just cough or something to warn me if you see them. Nick: OK. Hurry up. [Nick coughs!]

Talia: Whew! That was close... Here. Look at the menu. We should order. Nick: Right, though I’m not really hungry.

Talia: Neither am I. Dean: One more.

Nick: Don’t look now, but here comes Jackie. Unit 6
