SCENE I
Father and Mother are at home. Gwen just gets home.
Gwen: I’m home, Mom, Dad.
Mom: How’s your day, Gwen?
Gwen: Not bad. I’m tired of taking buses to school every day.
Father: Why?
Gwen: The bus is so crowded every morning.
Mom: I don’t understand. What’s your point?
Gwen: I want to buy a motorcycle – a Harley.
Father: What!! Harley! Are you insane?
Mom: (to father) Calm down. (to Gwen) I understand your situation. I would agree if you want to buy a
normal motorcycle, but Harley! Forget it.
Gwen: But I want it so much. I’ve always wanted one.
Father: OK. I can contribute some for the motorcycle, but you have to pay the rest yourself.
Mom: I agree with your dad.
Gwen: Oh! Yes! Are you sure? But I don’t have any money to pay for it!
Father: You can use your New Years’ Red Envelope money or find a part-time job.
Gwen: Hey, it sounds like a great idea to get a part-time job.
Mom: You have to keep your eyes open when you look for a part-time job.
Gwen: Don’t worry. I’ll be careful.
Father: I can give you some advice and experience. When I was a teenager, I used to work as a porter. It was
very tough, but I learned how to be responsible and how to use time. So will you. (change of tone) I
remember I almost lost my life one day.
Gwen: Thanks, Dad. I think I can handle it. I’ll be careful.
