Summary: Slow dialogue: 1:46 Explanations: 3:55 Fast dialogue: 15:28 Janine: Okay, we need to find one more act for this year’s show. How many more people are waiting to audition? Calvin: There are two more. Should I call in the first one? Janine: Yup. Let’s get this over with. ... Calvin: What did you think of that performance? Janine: I thought she was flawless. She plays with a lot of passion. Calvin: Yeah, that’s true, but I wouldn’t call her a virtuoso. The piece she played was pretty rudimentary. Janine: True enough, but I still think she’s a winner. Calvin: Let’s hear the next one. ... Calvin: Well? Janine: He certainly played with a lot of flair. Calvin: He has amazing chops, I think. I haven’t seen anyone play with such artistry in a long time. Janine: Nobody can fault him on mastery of the music, but don’t you think he lacked originality and expressiveness? Calvin: No, I don’t. I think he’s a winner. Janine: It’s clear that it’s a stalemate. I want the first performer and you want the second. What should we do? Calvin: I think we should duke it out and the winner gets his or her choice. Janine: I have a better idea. We add them both to the bill. Calvin: That’s brilliant! That’s why they pay you the big bucks. Janine: I would be flattered if we weren’t all volunteers! Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
