Listening Day 1
<Jay> Let's go, buddy. School time.
Gloria, if you want to get together with the girls later, I could just watch the football game or something.
<Manny> That means he wants to watch the game.
<Jay> I'm not talking to you. And what are you drinking coffee for, anyway?
<Manny> It's my culture. I'm Colombian.
<Jay> What part of Colombia are those French toaster sticks from?
<Gloria> I'm not sure about the game. The whole family is coming over for the barbecue.
<Jay> It's today?
<Manny> See?
<Jay> It's the Ohio State game.
<Gloria> So, everybody can watch.
<Jay> I don’t like watching the game with people who don't know the game. People talk.
<Manny> You talk at my football games.
<Jay> For one thing, it's called soccer. Your team's scored two goals all season. I'm not taking a big risk. How much of this did you drink?
<Manny> Give me a break. I have to climb a rope today.
