SCENE I Father and Mother are at home. Gwen just gets home. Gwen: I’m home, Mom, Dad. Mom: How’s your day, Gwen? Gwen: Not bad. I’m tired of taking buses to school every day. Father: Why? Gwen: The bus is so crowded every morning. Mom: I don’t understand. What’s your point? Gwen: I want to buy a motorcycle - a Harley. Father: What!! Harley! Are you insane? Mom: (to father) Calm down. (to Gwen) I understand your situation. I would agree if you want to buy a normal motorcycle, but Harley! Forget it. Gwen: But I want it so much. I’ve always wanted one. Father: OK. I can contribute some for the motorcycle, but you have to pay the rest yourself. Mom: I agree with your dad. Gwen: Oh! Yes! Are you sure? But I don’t have any money to pay for it! Father: You can use your New Years’ Red Envelope money or find a part-time job. Gwen: Hey, it sounds like a great idea to get a part-time job. Mom: You have to keep your eyes open when you look for a part-time job. Gwen: Don’t worry. I’ll be careful. Father: I can give you some advice and experience. When I was a teenager, I used to work as a porter. It was very tough, but I learned how to be responsible and how to use time. So will you. (change of tone) I remember I almost lost my life one day. Gwen: Thanks, Dad. I think I can handle it. I’ll be careful. SCENE II Gwen: Ivy, I want to find a part-time job. Are you interested in getting one for yourself, too? Ivy: It sounds great! I can search on the Internet for job opportunities. Gwen: Then I can look at the ads in the newspaper. (After 2 to 3 minutes) Gwen: Look! Here’s something interesting. It looks good. Ivy: Let me see... let’s make a phone call to see what the job is about. (Phone rings. Gwen and Ivy are calling the “I Need You” Company.) Boss: This is “I Need You” company! May I help you? Ivy: I need a part-time job, and I saw your ads in the newspaper, so … Boss: I see! Could you come to our company this Wednesday afternoon? Ivy: What? Boss: Oh! We’d like to interview you personally. Ivy: Is it alright if my friend comes along? Boss: No problem. You and your friend can come together. Ivy: Thank you. Bye. Boss: You’re welcome. See you! (hangs up.) Gwen: What did he say? Ivy: He said we can have interviews this Wednesday afternoon. Gwen: Great! Let’s do it. We can meet there. Ivy: I’m a little bit nervous. Gwen: It’ll be fine. Don’t worry. SCENE III (Wednesday afternoon, Gwen and Ivy are at the “I Need You” Company. They enter the company.) Boss: Hi, nice to meet you! Have a seat! Take it easy. O.K.! First, do you have any work experience? Gwen: No. Ivy: Me, either. Boss: That’s O.K. You’re just what our company needs. You can learn on the job. Second, do you have any talents? Like dancing or singing? Ivy: Well…. Gwen: I love singing. My friend says I sing well. Boss: Very good! Ivy: May I ask what this job is about? What do you want us to do? Boss: It’s easy. You just need to sing and chat with customers. They might give you some extra tips if they like you. Gwen: Oh! It sounds great! I can get a lot of money! I’ll take this job! What do you think, Ivy? Ivy: Umm... but I’m not good at singing or dancing. Boss: It’s O.K.! Fanny… Fanny: Yes. Boss: She can teach you how to do this job well. It’s not hard. Gwen: How about the salary? Boss: Ha, ha! As to the salary, I won’t disappoint you. I promise you’ll be a rich girl in a few days. (shows a cunning smile) Ivy: I don’t think I can do it. It sounds fishy to me. I think we should ask more about what exactly we have to do. Gwen: Come on! Take it easy. It’s a good opportunity. We’ll make a lot of money. Just think about the money! Ivy: No, I’m sorry. I guess the job is not for me. Gwen: All right! Suit yourself. Ivy: Good luck. Bye. (exits) Fanny: Hi. Hmm…(looks at Gwen from head to toes) I think I’ll change the way you look, O.K.? (She starts to change Gwen’s hair style and her clothes and shoes; she also puts make-up on Gwen) SCENE IV Gwen’s first day of work at a bar
Customer A: Wow, Fanny! Look at that girl! What a cute girl! Customer B: I’ve never seen her before. Who is she? Fanny: This is Gwen. It’s her first day here. Gwen: Hi. (She appears shy and uneasy.) Customer A: Come sit beside me. Customer B: Dance with me. (They both drag Gwen’ arms.) Gwen: Umm… What’s this all about? What’s going on? (Gwen starts to cry and turns to run away.) Fanny: Wait, wait! Stop it! Come back! Hey, what are you doing? Gwen: That man touched my butt. Fanny: So what? It’s no big deal. Take it easy. No matter what they do to you, you should always show respect to them and obey them. Gwen: (Sobs) Oh! The job is so different from what I have thought. I can’t do it! I can’t stand it! I want to quit! SCENE V At Gwen’s home Gwen: I can’t believe this. Darn! How stupid I was. It‘s disgusting. (Gwen’s still crying.) Mom: What’s wrong with you, honey? Gwen: It’s terrible. I don’t know how to tell you. Father: What’s the problem? Tell us. Gwen: I got a part-time job the other day. And today was my first day of work. I thought they just want me to be a performer, singing some songs and dancing for other people. But the customers there harassed me. They were evil. They touched me and it made me feel awful. I couldn’t do it, so I ran away. Mom: What? Why did you choose this kind of jobs? Are you blind? Are you that stupid? Father: Calm down, both of you! You have to remember this experience. You should be careful when you choose a job. Didn’t I tell you that? Mom: If you have troubles finding a job, we’ll help you look for one from the Internet or newspapers. Father: It’s O.K. now. Stop it. Gwen: Thank you so much, Mom and Dad. I love you. Mom: We love you, too, honey. |
