Number One was a windfall for you, Lily. That doesn’t make it any less valid. But it’s why this next month is so important. You’ll prove to yourself, once and for all, that you are indeed Number One, with all your competition in force. I’m so excited for you. Because I know you’re going to make it. And then! The Requests will start pouring in. Hundreds of requests. You won’t be able to accept them all. But you know something? They’ll wait. They’ll wait for you. Because everyone wants the best, the very best, including Dolly. Well, don’t let me keep you. I know you’ll be spending some time at the bank. Don’t forget to take your diamonds. (Looking in the mirror.)

There was something about her focus that made it very clear to me that she was a disturbed person. So I thought – well, you should never look at a crazy person directly, so I thought, I’ll just keep looking at these tuna fish cans, pretending to be engrossed in whether they’re in oil or in water, and the person will then go away. But instead wham! she brings her fist down on my head and screams “would you move, asshole!” (Pause.) Now why did she do that? She hadn’t even said, “would you please move” at some initial point, so I would’ve known what her problem was. Admittedly I don’t always tell people what I want either – like the people in the movie theatres who keep talking, you know, I just give up and resent them -but on the other hand, I don’t take my fist and go wham! on their heads! **Language**: English **Voice**: [Listen to recording](https://us-ht.oss-us-west-1.aliyuncs.com/mvo/us-ht/210913/8150331_47e3a50fcbbbbb5cc37f2f3ea2e612d8.hac) *53 likes · 18 comments · 74 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/AjrENHMxVFHDDD.md) --- ## 3. 9/13/2021 🎥 'Paper Moon' by Alvin Sargent 🎭 Type: Comedic 👨 Character: Moze, a con man 📝 Summary: Moze tells a funny story MOZE: 🗣 She just sittin’ in the trolley car and she reaches in her bag and pulls out this here magazine, and starts readin’. Well she ain’t read more ‘n a couple pages when real slow and careful like, she takes off her shoes and stockin’s. She turns the stockin’s wrong side out and then just up and puts them on again. Then she puts on her shoes. Now all the passengers are lookin’ on wonderin’ what’s goin’ on, see? Well, finally this old fella leans over, see, and he taps her on the shoulder and he says “you pardon my sudden rudeness, ma’am, but why’d you just now go and indulge in this strange procedure?” ‘N the girl says, “why, kind sir. I was readin’ this here magazine and I found the story such hot stuff that I felt compelled to turn the hose myself.” ❗️(Mental Stamina Group: This a very challenging monologue and it’s from an old movie…1973. You don’t have to do this monologue. It’s just there to open your mind to different ways of spoken English.) **Language**: English **Voice**: [Listen to recording](https://us-ht.oss-us-west-1.aliyuncs.com/mvo/us-ht/210912/8150331_bbb751b698d75ea8d686a3b528b2b49f.hac) *375 likes · 52 comments · 80 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/TWVvJNIxWHDDDD.md) --- ## 4. 9/10/2021 🎙 Discovering Your Ancestors Watch 👀 Listen 🎧 Review 📝 The HelloTalk LIVE Class will be on Tuesday at 2pm est New York. ↪️ https://youtu.be/h8sRKDYhPdg ↩️ **Language**: English **Voice**: [Listen to recording](https://us-ht.oss-us-west-1.aliyuncs.com/mvo/us-ht/210909/8150331_36d1e7363326b152088f035b3acccd83.hac) *55 likes · 5 comments · 65 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/zRNxHLuGLlVDDD.md) --- ## 5. 9/6/2021 Massive High ⛰ 🎭 COMEDIC: It is the day before Cody and his best friend start high school. Suddenly, his friend becomes quite worried. Here, Cody attempts to psych him up and rid him of his fears. Cody: Nervous? Don’t be nervous. What’s there to be nervous about?

Billy: Andy! Dude! You are not going to believe what I just overheard! Okay so, I am walking back from the library right, I just checked out the Dungeons and Dragons Monster Manual, I know you can get a PDF online but you know how I feel about books – anyway! So – I am walking back out of the library right, and I see like Alicia and Breanna and Kylie all the ‘cool’ girls walking towards me and they’re like talking and laughing and stuff like that. So I do what any of us would do right? I hide! I duck myself between a watercooler and a classroom door and a I turn to face the door like I am reading the class list on the front of it and they walk right on by! And as they’re going past I am ready for them to make fun of me or to like say something super witty and cutting but what I heard instead blew me away. As they walked past I heard Kylie say ‘Yeah, like I am so sick of playing a Barbarian, I think I want to make a new character.’ and then Alicia said ‘No way babe! I love Torben the Barbarian, she’s amazing!’ (a beat) Dude. The cool girls at our school are playing Dungeons and Dragons. The cool girls at OUR SCHOOL are playing Dungeons and Dragons! I wonder if they need a halfling wizard? **Language**: English **Voice**: [Listen to recording](https://us-ht.oss-us-west-1.aliyuncs.com/mvo/us-ht/210902/8150331_5639b43d2d5e8f48de1efb716e9139cb.hac) *55 likes · 19 comments · 81 views* [View this moment](https://www.hellotalk.com/moments/LuODDKxIL5LNDD.md) --- [View all moments on HelloTalk](https://www.hellotalk.com/partners/DaveQasim/moments.md) [Back to Dave Qasim's profile](https://www.hellotalk.com/partners/DaveQasim.md) --- ## Language Exchange Partners -
