Nick: What do you mean?
Coach: They want you to sit out the game next week. Dean: No!
Nick: They can't do that!
Coach: Yes, they can. Nick, I know how badly you want to play, and, frankly, I don't think we can
win without you.
Unit 6 Bad News Video 1
Talia: I don't think he did it. Tony: What do you mean?
Talia: Nick. I don?t think he did it. I have a feeling. Tony: And you have that feeling because… Talia: No for one thing, he told me he was innocent. Tony: And you believe it. Talia:
As a matter of fact, I do. This could all be a mistake … or something… Something is funny here. He?s a soccer star. Making money is not a problem for him.
Amy: But gambling may be a problem for him. Tony: Yes, have you ever thought about that? Amy: He might owe a lot of people money.
Tony: And sometimes people do things just because they can. Take it from me. I?ve seen a lot of
people do stupid
things. Even rich, famous people. It may not always make sense.
Talia: But, except for that tape, we have no proof. Tony: We had no proof. We have it now. Amy, tell her. Amy: Talia: Video 2 Tony:
You can keep investigating, but after looking at this bank statement, we have no choice. W?re going with this story tonight. If we don?t, the competition may beat us to it.
Amy: You?ve got to admit, Talia, it doesn?t look good.
Talia: I keep telling myself we are missing something. Things aren?t always as they seem. Tony: And sometimes things are exactly the way they seem. Talia: I just don?t think that?s true in this case. Tony: Talia:
Sorry, Talia. The audit of Nick?s bank account came in. He deposited fifty thousand dollars in his bank account a week before the qualifying match. Oh, my gosh. What? Let me see
that… I?m not going to stop investigating.
There
might be a good explanation for this.
You just may be too trusting to be a reporter. Reporters have to be skeptical. Are you sure you?re all right working on this by yourself? Maybe you should work with John Donnelly. No. I can do this myself. I promised Nick I?d be fair. I promised you I wouldn?t let my
emotions color my judgment. And I promised myself I?d do a good job.
Tony: OK. But if you let me down, I?m giving the story to John.
Talia: Thanks, Tony. I?ll be fine. You won?t be sorry.
Unit 7 Endorsement Deal
Video 1
Talia: There you are! Nick, are you going to stop lying to me?
Nick: Hello, Talia. And how are you? Would you like to have a seat? Talia: No, actually, I prefer to stand.
Nick: Ok. Whatever. So now what?s going on?
Talia: This! Fifty thousand dollars appeared in you bank account just before the qualifying match.
Fifty thousand dollars!
Nick: So?
Talia: So? So, that?s exactly the amount of money they say you accepted for throwing that game. Nick: It is also the exact amount of money I got for endorsing a new line of athletic shoes. Talia: Oh, really?
Nick: Yes, really. They?re going to be called Kicks. They are coming out next year. “Kicks: they are
cooler than your old shoes. More comfortable, too. And they are less expensive than they look. Come and get your kicks!”
Talia: Stop! I get it. Now, what was I saying? Oh, yes. Can I call your agent? I want to confirm this
endorsement deal.
Nick: Except, I didn?t use an agent. Talia: No agent? What a surprise! Video 2
Nick: Talia, this is what happened.
Talia: Ooh, here it comes. Another story.
Nick: It was about 10 o?clock one morning. I was having something to drink at the juice bar here. Jackie: Excuse me. Aren?t you Nick Crawford? Nick: Yes, that?s right. Do I know you?
Jackie: No. not yet, that is. I?m Jackie Baker. I am the VP of marketing for Kicks Shoes. Nick: Uh-huh.
Jackie: And I have a very interesting proposition for you. Nick: Keep going, I am listening.
Jackie: Why don?t we meet at my office tomorrow? Let?s say, 12:30. we can have lunch nearby, and
I?ll tell you all about the deal.
Nick: She offered me this deal. Fifty thousand dollars just to endorse a new line of athletic shoes,
and I agreed to wear the shoes next year when I play.
Talia: That?s it?
Nick: Basically. Talia: Hmm.
Nick: Well, that?s what happened. I?ve still got her business card. You can call her yourself if you
like.
Talia: Jackie Baker, Kicks Shoes, OK. I?ll call her. You know on second thought, I?d rather pay her
a visit.
Unit 8 No One by That Name
Video 1
Talia: Hello. I?m here to see Jackie Baker.
Receptionist: hmmm. I don?t think…I know who you want. Jack Baxter. He?s on the third floor, 301. Talia: No, I?m here to see Jackie Baker, Ms. Jackie Baker. Receptionist: …no, definitely not. There?s no one by that name. Talia: This is the Gower Building? 119 Gower Street?
Receptionist: yes. But like I said, there?s no Jackie Baker here.
Talia: Well, maybe she?s no longer here. Maybe she used to work here.
Receptionist: I didn?t think so. I?ve been here for ten years. Ten years too long, I might add. Someone named Jacob Banker used to work here. Funny, he was an architect, not a banker. Anyway, he was on the 2nd floor. Are you sure you are not looking for Jacob Banker?
Talia: No, no. the name is Jackie Baker. She is a VP at kicks shoes.
Receptionist: Now I really don?t know what you are talking about. Kicks shoes? Hold on a second,
I?m sorry, but I?ve never heard of kicks shoes and they are not in our directory. Are you sure you are in the right place?
Talia: No. I?m nor sure where I am. In fact, I?m not sure about anything anymore. Video 2
Talia: Oh, no. my cell phone is dead. Can I use your phone for a moment? Receptionist: you seem really angry. Are you going to yell at someone?
Talia: I don?t know. Maybe. Probably…yes.
Receptionist: In that case, be my guest. Just dial 9 first. Receptionist: Uh-oh. Someone?s in big trouble. Nick: Hello.
Talia: Hello, nick. It?s Talia. Remember me? Nick: Of course I remember you.
Talia: I wasn?t sure. You seem to have trouble with names. And faces. And facts. Nick: Really? I used to have a good memory. I remembered you, didn?t I?
Talia: There is no Jackie Baker here. There has never been a Jackie Baker here. And, to make
matters worse, they?ve never even heard of kicks shoes. Nick: Talia: Nick: Talia:
That?s ridiculous! You?ve got her business card. You?re at the Gower Building. That?s right.
But I met Jackie there. I met her there. She took me to lunch…Have you tried calling her? I called before I came, but I got voicemail. One of those messages like, “the person you are calling is not available.” I thought it was odd.
Nick: Look, Talia, I don?t know what I can say. I?m telling the truth.
Talia: Well, someone is lying. And if you think you are going to see a good story on news line,
you?re wrong. Good-bye, Nick.
Receptionist: Oh, that was good.
Unit 9 No help for Nick
Video 1 Nick :
Jackie Baker, please
Receptionist: Oh, I'm sorry. But there's no Jackie Baker here. Nick : Do you mind if I look at that?
Receptionist: Not at all. Have a look. Let me guess. You're Nick. Nick: That's right, but ... how did you know? Receptionist: Oh, you' re famous! Nick : Oh. Do you follow soccer?
Receptionist: Soccer? No, never watch it. I was listening when that woman called you. I
over heard everything.
Nick : Well, that's great. Receptionist: She was really angry. Wow!
Nick : I know. I know. Say, do you know what time it is?
Receptionist : Nearly five. I was just getting ready to leave when you arrived. Nick : It's probably too late anyway. The news is going to be on in an hour. Video Listening 2
Receptionist: So Nick, is there anything else I can do for you? Nick:
Yeah, maybe. Could I speak to someone else at Kicks?
Receptionist: Excuse me?
Nick: Kicks shoes. May I speak to someone else at Kicks shoes?
Receptionist: Sorry, Nick, but there?s no Kicks Shoes here, either. In fact, I?d never even
heard of them before today.
Nick: I don?t understand.
Receptionist: Cheer up. Things can?t be as bad as they seem. Nick: No?
Receptionist: Maybe you could describe this Jackie Baker to me. Nick:
Great. Thanks. She?s, uh, about as tall as you are. She?s got long black hair. She wears glasses. Oh, she was wearing a nice business suit when I met her here. She looked like an executive.
Receptionist: And she?s got blue eyes? Nick: Yes! Do you know her?
Receptionist: No, I was just trying to help. Sorry I don?t know her at all.
Unit 10 AT A GLANCE
Video 1
Patty: Hey, Nick. It's good to see you again. What can I gel for you? Nick : Could I get a large pineapple and strawberry smoothie? Patty: Coming right up. Is everything all right?
Nick : My life is a mess! And just when I thought things were going great. Patty : What's the matter? Did you get hurt?
Nick : Yeah, I got hurt. But not on the soccer field. Patty: Really?
Nick: Yeah. It all started when I agreed to endorse some shoes. Party, would you mind
making it louder? I need to catch up on the news.
Patty : No problem.
Reporter on TV: Let' s see if he' s got some comments about this scandal. Hey, Dean!
What do you think about the Nick Crawford scandal?
Dean on TV: I' m not going to comment until we know more.
Reporter on TV: Do you think the Soccer Federation is going to suspend him from playing; Dean on TV: Well, I really can't say. /' m sure they' II decide as soon as they have more
information.
Reporter: What kind of information do you think they' II need to find? Dean : It's hard to say ...
Nick : Hold on. Do you see that woman? The woman standing behind Dean? That's her! Patty: That's who?
Nick : I think that's Jackie Baker! The woman with Kicks Shoes. Video 2
Patty : Jackie Baker? No. That's Jackie Bishop, Dean's sister. She was a member here last year,
but I haven't seen her around lately. I'm surprised you never ran into her.
Dean : I've always admired Nick Crawford, f m sure he wouldn't risk ruining his career. Nick ; Thai's her. That's Jackie Baker.
Patty: No, I'm pretty sure that's Jackie Bishop.
Nick: But there's something different. No glasses. And her hair ...
Patty: Ah, it's blonde now, but she keeps changing the color. She's a wannabe actress. Nick : A wannabe actress?
Patty: Oh yeah! She' s tried out for a lot of movie parts, but I doubt she' s actually ever
acted in anything.
Nick: Except for the day she took me to lunch. She's a great actress. She should get an Oscar
for her performance.
Reporter: The Nick Crawford scandal is just beginning to unfold, but one thing is clear... Patty: Here you go Nick. On the house. I think you're going to need it.
Reporter: ... the evidence is not in his favor. The Soccer Federation is saying that he may be
suspended and may never play soccer professionally again.
