THE MIDDLE S07E12 - Part 2 English DICTATION PRACTICE

A woman : So, this is your desk. The phone systems are pretty standard. To forward a call, you just hit "transfer", dial the extension, and hang up.

Axl : Ho, ho, ho. Wow. Look at this. Hello, Axl Heck. Hold my calls. I've always wanted to say that. Diver down! 

A woman : We should probably introduce you to Mr. Cue.

Cue : Okay, I'll say it again in English. Is this the new intern?

Axl : Yes, sir. Axl Heck.

Cue : Yeah, I don't need to know your name. We've got a product development meeting in 10 minutes. So why don't you hop like a bunny and take everyone's coffee order? Berry back there like his with soy. Do not screw that one up or we'll all pay for it. I've got a pair of wing-tips needs tlc so when you are done with the coffee, let me know. And by me, of course, I mean my secretary.You and I may never speak again. You've got a photo graphic memory, son? 'cause if not, you'd better grab a pen and start jotting some of this down.

Axl : No form with a lot of triple venti.

Mike : Oh Hey, Cindy. Brick's not here.

Cindy : I know I was hoping to speak to you alone. Please sit down. I kissed another boy and I need you to tell Brick. The way you handle this will be key in determining the future of Brick's and my relationship. Keep me in the loop.

Frankie : Ooh. Look what Smile Super Stars sent me. It's my new smock. Isn't it nice? I think they must have a real designer because this is very flattering.

Mike : Huh.

Frankie : Really? That's it? That's all I get?

Mike : This is as excited as I can get about smocks.

Axl : That was the world's suckiest day! All they have me do was get coffee for everybody. I mean, look at this. Venti iced, non-fat, one pump no whip mocha? And no one even said thanks. They just pointed me to the next crappy job. I gotta tell you. One day when the real world made me realize how much you are gonna step up and take care of me.

Frankie : Yeah, that's not gonna happen.

Axl : Why now? I'm so tired.

Frankie : All right. Come on, Axl. You got coffee for a few people. You didn't build the railroads.

Axl : But all they had me do was grunt work. I didn't get to sit in on any meetings or pitch any of my snack-cake ideas or ride the little Betty jet. You know how long I worked today? 8 hours!

Frankie : I know what a job is. I have been going to one for the last 30 years.

Axl : Oh yeah, did you ever have to work and go to college at the same time?

Frankie : No. I had to work and raise three children.

Axl : So... no.

Frankie : Listen, Axl. I don't wanna hear it. Work is work. At some point, everyone in the world has to do it. So stop complaining. Jump in anytime here, Mike.

Mike : Work is work. Listen to your mother.

Axl : But it's so hard.

Mike : Hey, Brick. When's the last time you talked to your girlfriend?

Brick : We don't talk that much if you know what I mean. I'm usually reading.

Mike : Well, you might wanna check in with her.

Axl : You are so lucky you are still young. Enjoy childhood while you can.

It was the first day of the Orson branch of Smile Superstars International and everything was... 

'You are now 5 minutes behind'. 

Frankie : How is that possible? I have been working my butt off. 

'You are now 6 minutes behind.'

Goodwin : Then I said "I don't know a polar ice cap from a bottle cap but if this is the global warming..Sign me up."

Frankie : Hey, chatty. We're only allowed 20 minutes per patient. So let's go and we gotta turn them and burn them.

Goodwin : Well, but shooting the breeze with the patient is the reason I became a dentist.

Frankie : I'm not saying you have to stop doing it. Just do it quicker.

Goodwin : Anyway, have a good day, nice shoes, sorry about your mom and text me that banana-cake recipe.

A woman : Excuse me, I've been waiting for 45 minutes.

Frankie : Oh, sorry. My tablet's frozen. Technology. What are you gonna do, huh?

Ladies and Gentlemen, it's time for a Smile Superstars dance break!

Cindy : Did you talk to Brick yet?

Mike : No.

Cindy : Get it done!

A professor : After 12 days of negotiations, menachem begin and anwar El-sadat signed the camp David accords on September 17, 1978, which led to them receiving the novel peace prize on December 10th, 1978.

Sue : That really happened.

A professor : I know, I know. I..here's the thing. I am having the same problem with this paper that I had with the last one. It doesn't address how you feel. Answer this question for me. Why do you think people create conflict?

Sue : Because they haven't found their best selves yet.

A professor : And why do you think there's pain and suffering.

Sue : So we can appreciate joy at its highest level.

A professor : I'm gonna give you another crack at this paper. Okay? Remember, the thing that I'm trying to get you to do here is really hone your critical thinking.

Sue : But I'm not a critical person. Are you sure you didn't like my first essay 'cause I really feel like I was closer with the recipe thing.

A professor : I didn't like the recipe thing.

Sue : But did you get what I was going for.

A professor : I did.

Sue : 'cause I remember you said there were parts that you liked and I just feel like if you lose the recipe, then you will lose the whole understanding thing. And if you pull the thread, then it all comes out.

A professor : I want it to all come out. Sue. I don't want gimmicks. I don't want you to regurgitate facts. I just..I want to know what you think. I want you to crack yourself open.

Sue : You mean, like...

A professor : No food!

Sue : But..

A professor : No.
