Summary: If you’ve got it, you might as well let everyone see it. That’s the philosophy of the people in this dialogue, but you can decide whether you agree or not. Slow dialogue: 1:08 Explanations: 2:51 Fast dialogue: 15:58 Monica: Wow, check you out! When did you buy a new car? Kevin: This isn’t just any new car. It’s a Ferrari. Monica: I can see that. It must have set you back a few. Kevin: Yeah, but it was worth it. You should see the looks I get riding around in this baby. My brother is green with envy. Monica: Then you’ve been showing it off around town. Kevin: No, I’ve just been showing it off to a few friends and family members. There’s no sense owning a fine machine like this and not bragging a little, right? Monica: Especially since your brother has been gloating about his new boat, you mean. Kevin: There is that. I don’t want to toot my own horn, but I think a new Ferrari trumps a measly new boat, don’t you? Monica: Do you and your brother always whip it out like this? Kevin: Like what? I’m just sharing my new toy with my brother. I’m sure he’s just as happy for me as I was for him when he bought his new boat. Monica: Truer words were never spoken. Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
