What can I gel for you? Nick : Could I get a large pineapple and strawberry smoothie? Patty: Coming right up. Is everything all right? Nick : My life is a mess! And just when I thought things were going great. Patty : What's the matter? Did you get hurt? Nick : Yeah, I got hurt. But not on the soccer field. Patty: Really? Nick: Yeah.

Patty: That's who? Nick : I think that's Jackie Baker! The woman with Kicks Shoes. Listening 1 Culture Note Notice Nick's hand when he gestures toward the television.

This way of pointing to a thing is fine in North America, but it is considered impolite in some other cultures. Video 2 Patty : Jackie Baker? No. That's Jackie Bishop, Dean's sister. She was a member here last year, but I haven't seen her around lately. I'm surprised you never ran into her. Dean : I've always admired Nick Crawford, f m sure he wouldn't risk ruining his career. Nick ; Thai's her. That's Jackie Baker. Patty: No, I'm pretty sure that's Jackie Bishop. Nick: But there's something different. No glasses. And her hair ... Patty: Ah, it's blonde now, but she keeps changing the color. She's a wannabe actress. Nick : A wannabe actress? Patty: Oh yeah! She' s tried out for a lot of movie parts, but I doubt she' s actually ever acted in anything. Nick: Except for the day she took me to lunch. She' s a great actress. She should get an Oscar for her performance. Reporter: The Nick Crawford scandal is just beginning to unfold, but one thing is clear... 2 Viewing, Listening & Speaking 3 New Ere Interactive English Teaching Plan Unit 10 Patty: Here you go Nick. On the house. I think you're going to need it. Reporter: ... the evidence is not in his favor. The Soccer Federation is saying that he may be suspended and may never play soccer professionally again.
