LESSON 25 TED BRINGS HOME MORE GOOD NEWS

Ted tells his family that a talent agent wants to meet with him. The agent will fly Ted and Amber to New York. Nicole announces that she’s been named president of the Spanish Club.

Ted: Amber and I are going to break into the music business. Last night after our concert, a talent agent asked us to meet with him in New York.

Susan: Congratulations! We’ll give you some spending money for your trip.

Ted: No need. The agent is footing the bill for everything. And when we get there, he’s going to wine and dine us.

Susan: He must think you’re the cream of the crop.

Ted: He thinks we sound like the Goo Goo Dolls.

Nicole: Who are they?

Ted: You’re really out of it. They’re a popular rock band.

Nicole: Our family is certainly on a winning streak. I was elected president of the Spanish Club today.

Ted: The Spanish Club? Big deal!

Nicole: You don’t get it, Ted. This is only the beginning. Today, president of the Spanish Club. Tomorrow, ambassador to Spain!

Ted: Well, Ambassador, you’ll need to wrap up my chemistry homework before you leave for the Spanish Embassy.

Susan: A rock star and a diplomat -- I’m so proud of both of you!
