2. [Lyle] Gloria and I have been together for 12 years. She is always trying to help out her family.

Script
1. Hi, I‘m Fred. About four years ago, Jeanne and I retired. We were looking forward to taking care of our yard. But just when we got the yard looking really nice, Jeanne‘s legs started causing her trouble. At first, I tried to take care of her and the yard all by myself, but it was just too much. So we asked our daughter Gloria to come back home to live with us, together with her family. Now it‘s like a zoo around here, but it‘s nice having Gloria here to help with Jeanne.
2. Hi, I‘m Lyle. Gloria and I have been t ogether for 12 years now. we have a son who is 11 years old —his name is Marty. Eddie lives with us, too. He‘s my son from my first marriage, to Sharon. About two years ago Gloria‘s parents asked us to come live at their house. Fred was having trouble talk ing care of Jeanne, and Gloria, She‘s always trying to help out her family, so she
offered to help. Jeanne‘s always been over-weight, but finally, I guess, it got to the point where she couldn‘t get around by herself anymore. I don‘t mind helping out Gloria‘s mom, but sometimes I miss the privacy of our own home.
3. Hi, I‘m Lily. I‘m married to Simon, Gloria‘s brother. We have 2-year-old twin daughters named Kristy and Shawna. Simon—that‘s my husband—is in the Air Force, and he just got transferred across the country, so we have to move again. He‘ll be working as soon as he gets to Florida, so I have to go and find us an apartment, and find myself a job, too. There‘s no way I can do that and watch Kristy and Shawna at the same time .So Simon asked Gloria to take care of them until I can get us settled. I hate to do that, but we have no one else to turn to. Gloria‘s so sweet to us, and she said, ―Sure, it‘s no problem.‖
4. Hi, I‘m Eddie. Lyle is my dad. He used to be married to my Mom, Sharon, but they got
d ivorced when I was little. I‘v
e been living with my dad ever since. When he and Gloria got married, I felt okay about it. Gloria is my step-mom, and I like her a lot. Then they had Marty, my stepbrother. Marty is a cool kid. But now we have to live with Gl oria‘s parents, and pretty soon, her two nieces are coming, too. I don‘t know how Gloria can handle taking care o
f all these people. It seems like everyone depends on her. So I try to help out as much as I can.

Eddie: Heard what?
Marty: Kristy and Shawna are moving in with us.
Eddie: Yeah, I heard. Simon got transferred to Florida, right?
Marty: Yeah, so he and Lily got to go there first and do a whole bunch of stuff. That means that we get stuck with the twin brats.
Eddie: Ah, come on, Marty. They aren‘t brats.
Marty: Yeah, but you know what it‘s going to mean? Mom and Dad aren‘t going to have any time for us anymore. And it‘s going to get even more crowded here. Just one big happy family! Eddie: Yeah, there‘s a lot of us now, that‘s for sure. I hear we‘re going to have to sleep in the living room so that Kristy and Shawna can have our room.
Marty: I wish we were back in our old house—just us, Mom and Dad.
Eddie: Yeah, sometimes I do, too.
Marty: And I wish Mom and Dad wouldn‘t try to solve everybody‘s problems.

Marty: But nobody ever asks me what I want!
Eddie: Kids never get to say what goes on in their house. That‘s the way it is.
Marty: Yeah, you‘re right. But now everything in this house is going to b e Kristy and Shawna, Kristy and shawna. Or else Grandma.

Marty: I know. I‘m not really mad at her. I‘m mad at Mon and Dad. They used to always have time to help me with my homewo rk, or play games with me, but they‘re always too busy. And now it‘s going to get even worse.
Eddie: Hey, maybe I can help you with your homework. Bring it here.

1. One of the things I really like about living in Costa Rica is that it‘s so safe. I mean, I can go walk around the streets with 50,000 pesetas in my wallet and I don‘t even worry about it. In American cities, I used to worry about waling around with 20 dollars in my wallet. And another thing is that sometimes I go into a restaurant and I can leave my backpack sitting at a table and I go up to order and I come back knowing that my backpack is going to be safe and no one‘s even touched it .
2. People in the States are so connected to their cars. They are so concerned whether their cars look good, and they talk about their cars a lot. I think that cars isolate people. Public transportation brings people together…and it‘s better for the environment. Americans live in their cars. This is one thing about living here that I just can‘t get used to.
3. People in Tokyo overreac t when I can use chopsticks or speak the language. I‘ve been living here for three years—of course I can eat with chopsticks and say some things in their language. They act as if I were some kind of genius who had broken a secret code, or as if I had just done them a really big favor. I don‘t congratulate them when they speak English to me. I don't get what the big is.
4. I‘ll never get over how helpful people are in Tel Aviv. The other day I was shopping for a certain book, right? The bookstore I usually go to didn‘t have it, so the clerk called a couple of his competitors until he found a store to hold a copy for me. After that, he photo-copied a map and highlighted where the store was, and marked the easiest route for me to get there. They would never do that in the U.S.
