[00:00.50]Playing Games [00:02.25]ACT II [00:04.97]Oh, Daddy! [00:06.22]We had such a good time at the aquarium. [00:08.17]I saw a real shark. [00:09.26]I could almost touch it. [00:10.55]I'm so glad. [00:12.42]Hi. Michelle, [00:13.74]why don't you introduce everybody to Susan? [00:15.61]Hi, Susan. [00:16.22]Hi. [00:17.49]I'd like you to meet Audrey and her mother, Mrs. Cooper. [00:20.67]Hello, Audrey. [00:21.59]Nice to meet you, Mrs. Cooper. [00:22.91]I'm Susan Stewart. [00:24.43]And this is Shirley and Nicole. [00:26.91]Hi, girls. [00:28.55]Come on in. [00:29.06]Come on in, Mrs. Cooper. [00:29.89]Come on in, everybody. [00:30.82]The aquarium was so exciting. [00:32.05]I had never been there before. [00:33.70]The girls learned a great deal. [00:35.54]Frankly, so did I. [00:35.97]Well, please sit down [00:38.34]and tell us all about it during lunch. [00:40.08]We prepared some tuna fish [00:42.07]and cheese sandwiches for lunch. [00:44.80]I love tuna fish. [00:46.29]Don't you, Audrey? [00:50.20]I remember when I used to be a Girl Scout. [00:52.57]My mother would take us everywhere, too. [00:55.90]Susan, I understand you're in the toy business. [00:58.09]Yes, I am. [00:59.10]My company manufactures toys and games for children. [01:01.06]Susan's vice-president in charge of new toys and games. [01:04.55]And the marketing of new toys and games. [01:06.80]Can we test a new game for you, Susan? [01:08.98]That's an excellent idea, Michelle. [01:10.53]I happen to have [01:12.43]a game which I brought home to study. [01:13.26]Let us try it! [01:14.06]Do you want to play? [01:15.63]Nicole? Shirley? Audrey? [01:19.79]We tested it last week on twelve- to fifteen-year-olds, [01:23.01]and they found it to be too easy-- [01:25.86]in other words ... boring. [01:27.71]We think it might be just right for ten- to twelve-year-olds. [01:30.83]That's us, Susan. [01:31.95]First, you shuffle the deck [01:35.66]and lay them face down. [01:39.67]Then you select the leader. [01:41.94]I'll be the leader. [01:44.28]The leader takes the first ten cards [01:47.22]and lays them face up on this stand. [01:50.38]h-t-e-r-c-z-e-p-e-s. [02:12.60]Everyone gets a turn, going counterclockwise, [02:15.29]left to right. [02:17.06]You have thirty seconds to make a word, [02:23.02]using as many letters as possible. [02:25.65]You get one point for each letter, [02:28.30]plus the person with the longest word gets ten extra points. [02:33.39]The first one to get one hundred points wins. [02:36.35]That's easy. [02:37.67]OK, let's go around the table. [02:40.35]You first, Audrey. [02:49.37]Chest--c-h-e-s-t. [02:56.50]Good. [02:57.75]That's five points. [03:00.13]Next, Nicole. [03:07.40]Three--t-h-r-e-e. [03:14.70]OK. [03:15.55]That's five points also. [03:17.71]It's your turn, Shirley. [03:25.60]Creep--c-r-e-e-p. [03:32.98]Creep. [03:34.27]That's another five-letter word. [03:36.17]Five points. [03:36.99]So far, you're all tied. [03:38.92]Sheet--s-h-e-e-t. [03:41.76]Sheet is a five-letter word. [03:46.00]Michelle, your turn. [03:47.48]Cheese--c-h-e-e-s-e. [03:51.87]Terrific! [03:52.52]Michelle wins with a six-letter word, [03:54.39]plus she gets an additional ten points [03:57.37]for a total of sixteen points. [03:59.27]How are you enjoying the game so far? [04:01.06]I think it's too easy. [04:03.36]Too easy? [04:05.19]Michelle! [04:06.31]It's OK, Harry. [04:07.34]Michelle is quite right. [04:08.90]She just said it's too easy. [04:10.97]Well, I like the game. [04:13.64]I enjoyed lunch, Susan. [04:15.15]Thank you so much, [04:16.32]but we have to get going [04:17.65]to meet the rest of the troop at two o'clock at the museum. [04:20.21]Oh, it was nice meeting all of you. [04:23.04]I hope you have a wonderful time [04:24.62]at the Museum of Natural History. [04:26.45]Good-bye, everybody. [04:27.47]Have a good time. [04:28.08]Bye. [04:29.03]See you in front of the museum at five o'clock. [04:29.83]Oh, OK. [04:32.22]Thanks, Mr. Bennett. [04:32.66]That'll be fine. [04:33.78]And thanks again for the lunch and for the game. [04:37.48]Good-bye, Susan. [04:39.32]It's not a bad game. [04:41.76]It's just ... slow. [04:43.97]Just slow. [04:46.49]You helped save our company a lot of money. [04:48.94]Bye-bye. [04:59.65]You are wonderful with kids. [05:03.81]I am. [05:05.88]Isn't there a conversation that we have to finish?
