Tape 1 A Day in the Life of a Typical American White Collar Worker
Situation 1 Getting Up in the Morning
(The alarm clock rings.)
Catherine: Honey, it's seven o'clock. Time to get up.
James: Okay, just a few more minutes.
Catherine: No. You told me to make sure you are up by seven.
James: I know but I can sleep till seven-thirty if I don't take a shower.
Catherine: James, you know that's impossible. You have a meeting with your boss and later with an important client.
James: Christ, I almost forgot. That's what happens when I don't get enough sleep.
Catherine: Enough sleep? You went to bed at ten. That's nine hours.
James: Do you have to be right all the time? But you are right; I'm getting up.
Catherine: Jump in the shower, that will make you feel better. And I'll make a pot of strong coffee, but what do you want for breakfast?
James: Something simple. How about a bagel and cream cheese.
Catherine: No problem. It'll be ready before you are.
James: Don't be so sure.
Catherine: Why wouldn't I be? You haven't beaten me yet.
James: True. But there's a first time for everything.
