Episode 13 What's the News?

Dialogue 1

(Raymond is in the living room watching the daily news.)

Announcer: And now for today's lead story...
Eric:          Anything interesting, Raymond?
Raymond:  Nah, same old stuff.

Announcer: Fighting has broken out in...
Raymond:  They've been fighting off and on for 3 years.
Eric:          Yeah, but they announced a truce last week.
Raymond:  So what’s the big deal?
Eric:          Nothing. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Announcer: Stay tuned for further updates...
Raymond:   Will the world ever be at peace?
Eric:          Sometimes, I doubt it.
Announcer: On a lighter note…

Dialogue 2

(Benny and Sammy are watching the local TV news.)

Announcer: There was a hold-up at Maxies.
Sammy:      What's all the hoopla about, Benny?
Benny:       Another robbery. A gang robbed the bank in broad daylight. According to the news, it was easy pickings.
Sammy:     Again! Why can't they catch these guys?
Benny:       I think the police department's overloaded.
Sammy:     Then it's time to get the private eyes involved.
Benny:       You know they can't do that.
Sammy:      Yeah, but too many criminals are still at large. Enough is enough; it's time to crack down.

Announcer: In Afghanistan, the new government is on shaky ground, but things are improving.
Benny:       That's a positive sign.
Sammy:      Sure is. Hopefully, things will all work out.
Announcer: In finance, a market surge came on the heels of an encouraging economic forecast.
Benny:       Now that's good news! I gotta cheek my stocks.
Sammy:      Me too. Bartender, another round, please.
