Summary: Slow dialogue: 1:27 Explanations: 3:20 Fast dialogue: 17:04 Ben: Why are you squinting like that? Lauren: I left my glasses at the office. Ben: You mean you can’t see?! Lauren: I can see pretty well. What was that yellow sign we just passed? Ben: It said, “Dead End.” Stop! Turn around. Lauren: I can’t. That sign says, “No U-turn.” Ben: Okay, but we can’t keep going. Those signs say, “Do Not Enter” and “One Way.” Lauren: Okay, fine. I’ll just pull off the road and you can drive. Ben: You can’t. That sign says, “No Stopping.” Hey, you just made an illegal U-turn! Lauren: What else could I do? Anyway, we’re back on track now. Ben: Watch out for those speed bumps! You really are blind without your glasses. You’re going too fast. According to that sign, this is a school crossing zone. The posted speed limit is 25 miles per hour. Lauren: That’s only true when the lights are flashing. Is that a “Detour” sign? Ben: I can’t believe it. Will I never get home? Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
