Lesson 1_Reception_Listening 2
Leela:Good morning, Mehta residence, Leela speaking. Roshan:Hi, Mom — how's it going?
Leela:May I ask who is calling?
Roshan:C'mon, you know who this is, don't you? Leela:Sorry, who is calling please?
Roshan:Mom, it's me, your baby boy, firstborn son.
Leela:Dev, will you come here? Come! Come! There is a mischief-maker on the line. Roshan:Mom, it's me — Roshan!
Leela:Oh, Roshan. Why didn't you say so? Roshan:Who else calls you Mom?
Leela:I can hardly recognize your voice. Why do you sound so strange? Roshan:I've got you on speaker — Mom, I'm driving — it's safer.
Dev:Leela, I'm telling you just to hang the phone up. Don't give these jokers time of the day. Leela:Shhh — it's Roshan.
Roshan:That's Dad, isn't it? Dev:Don't tell him I'm home. Leela:Your father is just here.
Dev:I don't want to talk to him. Leela:He says hello.
Roshan:Anyway, I'm just on my way to work, but I wanted to call and thank you for the sweets — they were amazing, just like when I was a kid.
Dev: What is he saying?
Leela:Roshan says he misses my cooking — Roshan, are you eating enough? Roshan:Sorry, Mom, you cut out a little there — could you repeat that?
Leela: I said, are you eating? It's not all the fries and burger, is it?
Roshan: No, no, Mom — I'm eating okay — good thing you taught me how to cook, eh? Dev: If he was a professional, he wouldn't need to be bothered with the cooking. Leela: Shhh!
Roshan: Sorry, Mom, I didn't catch that — what did you say?
Leela:Uh, oh, Roshan, I was just wondering, if, um, you've got enough cash? Is your new job paying enough? Don't hesitate if you need Mommy and Daddy to help you out.
Roshan:Oh, no worries, Mom — I'm even making enough to put some away, like you taught me — it's all good.
Dev:All good? All good? Not all good! … apprentice never enough support a family … changing lightbulbs …
Roshan: Guys, I'm having a hard time following …
Dev:… blue collar … came to this country to … kids … better future … no appreciation! … waste of a …! Ungrateful!
Roshan: Mom? Dad? You've totally lost me — I think the reception is … wonky again.
