ESL Podcast - Previous Episodes show

Summary: Slow dialogue: 1:15 Explanations: 2:48 Fast dialogue: 13:49 Dmitry: Stan is really miffed at you. All of that teasing at lunch really upset him. Charlene: What? I was just poking fun at him for trying to hit on the new, young receptionist. Dmitry: You called him an old goat. Charlene: I said that tongue in cheek. If he didn’t find that funny, then he can’t take a joke. Dmitry: What about last week when you told that joke about fat people trying to dance and you made him the butt of the joke? Charlene: Everybody knows I’m the class clown around here, and I make wisecracks about everybody. Nobody else is as thin-skinned as Stan. Dmitry: I wouldn’t be so sure about that. I suggest you watch your back. The next joke may be on you. Charlene: Why? What have you heard? Dmitry: Oh, nothing. I just think it may be time for some payback – big time! Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
