Summary: Slow dialogue: 1:27 Explanations: 3:27 Fast dialogue: 14:08 Paige: I think we can get everything we need to fix up the house in one trip. What do you think? Vern: We can try. It seems like everybody had the same thought when they woke up this morning: Go to the home improvement store! Paige: Yeah, it’s a little crowded, but I still think we can get all we need today. Vern: To do that, I think we need to split up. Let’s look at our list and divvy it up. Paige: Okay, we need to get some wiring to install the new lights. I’ll go to the electrical department for that. Vern: All right. We need lumber for the new fence, so I’ll go to the building materials department. Paige: What about the pipes and fixtures we need for the bathroom? Can you go to the plumbing department for those, while I go to the hardware department for the tools? Vern: Okay, I can do that, but aren’t you feeling tired already? I know I am. Paige: Come on. How are we supposed to be weekend warriors if we can’t even do some simple shopping? We’ll meet in the garden department afterwards, okay? Vern: Whatever you say. Paige: Ready, set, go! Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
