Summary: Slow dialog: 1:13 Explanations: 2:50 Fast dialog: 15:56 I was driving down the street when I saw a police car behind me. Suddenly, it turned on its siren. I realized that I was being pulled over. Officer: Can I see your driver’s license, registration, and proof of insurance? Ray: Sure. Here you are, officer. Officer: Did you know that you were speeding? You were going 70 in a 55 mile an hour zone. Ray: I was? No, I didn’t know. Officer: You also ran a red light and your brake light is out. I see that your tags have also expired. I’m going to have to cite you for all of that. Ray: I’m sure I didn’t run a red light, and I didn’t know my brake light wasn’t working. I just renewed my registration and I’m still waiting for my new tags to arrive in the mail. Is there any way I can get away with just a warning? Officer: I’m afraid not. Ray: What’s the fine for all of those violations? Officer: That information is on the back of the citation. Here you are. Have a nice day. Ray: Thanks. Thanks a lot! Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
