Script
Tom and Dad are at home, and Tom feels bored. They talk about sports and exercise.
Tom and Dad are at home, and Tom feels bored. They talk about sports and exercise.
TOM: I'm so bored. There's nothing to do. Can I watch some TV?
DAD: No, I think you watched enough TV already. Why don't you read a book?
TOM: But I already finished reading my books! All of them!
DAD: Oh. Well, then, let's go outside and get some exercise.
TOM: Oh . . . I don't know.
DAD: Yeah, come on. We can kick a ball around or something.
TOM: Maybe . . .
DAD: Yeah, and don't forget your frisbee. And your badminton rackets.
TOM: Well, I guess so. Where do you want to play? In the park, or in the field across the street?
DAD: Let's play across the street. It's already 11:00, and we'll probably eat lunch at noon. The park is a little far from here.
TOM: I have an idea. Let's play badminton first, and then the loser has to do 10
push-ups.
DAD: Uh . . . 10 push-ups?
TOM: Ha ha! You're afraid you'll lose.
DAD: No . . . it's just that . . . Well, how about the loser does 10 push-ups and the winner does 5 sit-ups?
TOM: What?! That doesn't make any sense!
DAD: Ha ha! You're afraid you'll win!
TOM: No, of course not. Okay, . . . let's do it.
DAD: Hey, wait a minute. Before we go outside, why don't you call your friend, Marcel? He can join us.
TOM: No, I don't have to.
DAD: What? Why not?
TOM: Because I see him out the window. He's already outside playing in the field.
DAD: Hey, great.
TOM: I'll race you. The last person there has to make lunch.
DAD: Okay, no problem. Uh . . . wait a minute. If you lose what are you going to make for lunch.
TOM: That's easy. I'll just call and order a pizza.
DAD: What?!
