Lesson 14 -- Amber and Ted Heat Up the Kitchen

Speak English Like an American -- Lesson 14

 

Amber and Ted are in the kitchen baking cookies. Amber asks Ted to give her a kiss, but Ted tells her he's too busy. Then he feels guilty and goes to her. But suddenly, they're not alone.

Amber:  Ted, when I met you, it was love at first sight.
Ted:       I was nuts about you from the beginning too, Amber. Don't forget,
              I broke up with that girl Tiffany after I met you.
Amber:  Come here and give me a kiss.
Ted:       Give me a break, Amber. We don’t have time for that now. We need to crank out these cookies.
Amber:  You don't really love me, do you?
Ted:       Amber, I'm head over heels in love with you. But it's crunch time with these cookies.
Amber:  Cookies, cookies, cookies. You've got a one-track mind. He loves cookies, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Ted:       Amber, I need to keep working, but you can take a break if you want.
Amber:  No, I'll keep plugging away. I'm just your cookie slave. Go ahead, treat me like dirt!
Ted:      Sorry Amber, come here and let me give you a quick kiss.
(Susan enters the kitchen)
Susan:   Hey, what's going on in here? Are you two making cookies or making out?
