口语连载08:Ted forms a rock band

Ted plans to become a successful musician. First, he needs Susan to loan him money for a new guitar Susan suggests that Ted bake cookies to earn the money.

  Susan: You're in good spirits today, Ted.

  Ted: I've got great news, Mom.

  Susan: What is it?

  Ted: Amber and I are going to start a rock band!

  Susan: Good for you!

  Ted: Mom, I'm not going to beat around the bush. I need to borrow $1,000 for a new guitar.

  Susan: Ted, your father and I can't shell out that much. We aren't made of money.

  Ted: You're not? I thought you were millionaires, like Donald and Ivana Trump!*

  Susan: Ha ha. This is no time to be a wise guy!

  Ted: I promise I'll pay you back.

  Susan: How?

  Ted: We're going to take the music world by storm and make lots of money.

  Susan: That sounds like a pipe dream. Aren't high school rock bands a dime a dozen?

  Ted: Yeah, but we're different. With my guitar playing and Amber's beautiful voice, we're sure to make a splash!

  Susan: Well, we're going through hard times. You're going to have to work for that $1,000.

  Ted: How?

  Susan: You can bake cookies.

  Ted: I bet Mrs. Clapton never made Eric** bake cookies, but I guess those are the breaks.

  * Donald Trump is a famous American millionaire who made his money in real estate. Ivana is his ex-wife.

  ** Eric Clapton is a very popular guitarist.
