Summary: Slow dialogue: 1:14 Explanations: 3:03 Fast dialogue : 12:52 Joni: Smell that! Giuseppe: Smell what? Joni: Smell that fresh air. Aren’t you glad I got you to help me plant this garden? We’re going to have so much fun today. Giuseppe: Uh huh. I’m glad to help, but I don’t exactly have a green thumb. Joni: That’s okay. As long as you can tell a shovel from a lawn mower, you’ll be fine. Let’s start by moving these pots next to the bushes. Giuseppe: Okay, your wish is my command. Joni: Oh, this bag of fertilizer is so heavy. Giuseppe: Let me get that. Joni: Thanks. I didn’t know we had so many large bags of seeds, too. Giuseppe: Do you want me to help you with those? Joni: Thanks a lot. I’ll also need someone to help me hoe this soil. Giuseppe: I guess I could do that. Joni: And how am I going to pull all of these weeds? Giuseppe: Honestly, I think we need reinforcements. Joni: Good idea. You start working and I’ll go see if I can round up more help. [She leaves.] Giuseppe: I start working while she leaves? Hmm...I think she just pulled a fast one on me. Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
