542 - Renting a Movie Updated: 2009-12-28 08:00:45 Description: Slow dialogue: 1:18 Explanations: 3:26 Fast dialogue: 16:12 Brenda: I have to return these movies in the drop box today or I’ll have late fees. Can I get you anything while I’m out? Jang: Are you still renting movies from the video store? I use a service that delivers the movies to my mailbox. There are never any late fees. Brenda: I’ve thought about subscribing to one of those services, but I think I would really miss browsing at the video store. I like checking out the new releases and staff picks, and you never know what you’ll find to buy in the bargain bins. Jang: Renting movies online is so much quicker and easier. I can browse the titles quickly, read the descriptions, read reviews, and sometimes even watch a trailer. Then, all I need to do is put the movie in my queue, and as soon as I mail one movie back, they send me another one. It’s that simple. Brenda: It does sound easy, but not everything that’s easy is better. Some of us like to take our time to make our selections. Jang: Whatever. If you want to spend your time looking for movies rather than watching them, that’s your prerogative. Brenda: Are you really going to let me off so easily? I thought I was in for another one of your lectures. Jang: You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink. Script by Dr. Lucy Tse LISTEN NOW | DOWNLOAD |
