听美剧学英语:《淘小子看世界》 Pairing Off - 6

So we find in Fielding's novel the character Tom Jones is absolutely irresistible¹ to women. Isn't that right, Matthews?

Ah, yeah, that's right.

What's right?

What you just said.

What I just said?

You weren't listening either?

Matthews, keep your head facing this way. Shawn, tell your buddy² what I was saying.

Ah, he was saying:"Matthews, you are not listening."

Thank you. Did either one of you guys do the reading assignment?

Some of it.

What did you read?

I read the page you handed us with the reading assignment on it.

Yeah, yeah...

-----------------------------------------

What?

Oh, ah. I was just looking at your hair. I'm very interested in your hair.

Why?

Because it's, it's interesting hair, I mean it's very exquisite³ hair. It's the most exquisite hair my eyes have ever beheld⁴.

Well, actually, I did comb it differently this morning.

So, um, with all that said, would you be interested in going out with me?

Alright, I guess so. When?

Ah, tomorrow, after school.

Ok, see you then.

Has the brand-new couple taken shape before my very eyes?

What can I say, I've got the boom.
