A Power Outage停电
Debra : What happened?
Simon : It's a power outage, obviously.
Debra : Oh, what am I going to do now? I've to hand in this report tomorrow.
Simon : Where do you keep the flashlight?
Debra : Some where in the kitchen.
Simon : Go find it so that I can check the fuse box.
Debra : It is probably my fault. I shouldn't have plugged three plugs in one socket.
Simon : This will teach you. Now go get the flashlight.
Debra : It's too dark. I can't find the way. Don't you have a lighter with you?
Simon : No, I've quit smoking for over one week. I'm afraid you'll have to grope your way to the kitchen.
Debra : Well, I guess that's it then....Ah! (She screams and Simon hears the dog barking.)
Simon : What happened? Are you all right?
Debra : I'm fine. I stepped on old Life. It must have hurt him very much.
Simon : Did you find the flashlight?
Debra : Wait a second....Yes, I've found it.
Simon : Why don't you turn it on so that you don't have to grope your way back here?
Debra : I want to, but there are no batteries in the flashlight.
Simon : Oh, no....Find a candle then.
Debra : We don't have any candles, Simon. The only one we had was burnt this evening for our candle light dinner.
