This lesson made me think of the movie 手机。Perhaps the dialogue could have gone this way: A: 谁的手机在响? B: 老板的。 A: 哪个手机在响? B: 绿色的。 A: 红色的手机是老板的老婆打得。蓝色的是他上海女朋友打得。绿色的。。。绿色的。。。 B: 啊!是他香港的女朋友。。她英文名字叫什么? A: Turqouise! 老板! Turquoise, 打电话给你。 C: 噢,好的! I have been listening to too many Chinesepod-produced Soap Opera lessons.

Come to think of it, if one says Young Amber in a very Star Wars-like fashion, it comes out in the same cadence as Young Jedi. Amber, use the force!

Jenny, 我们需要一个新的 Chinesepod 的八卦节目:“告诉我们,漂亮请! (Tell us, pretty please!)". ;-) Art

scottyb, That wise man gave you good advice. But when thinking of the word age, perhaps we should just think that Amber, Jenny and the rest of Cpod gang are "one for the ages." :) Art

Henning, Young Amber never said she saw the movie when it came out. If she had watched it on video when she was a tyke, she's even younger than you think. ;-) Art

Jenny, If two men don't make any sense, what happens to your mind when you're around more than two men who are talking? Will you call it your 吃亏 experience? :) Art

漂亮请...That's good Amber. I want to add "与你骑的马" (And the horse you rode in on) to the list of Englinese words. I explained this in Translation issue lesson (http://chinesepod.com/learnchinese/translation-issues/) I hope Dave will use this expression to warrant the addition. :) Art

Wang Wei, don't you listen to Chinesepod? Don't you know the story of Zhang Liang? ;-) Art

Amber and Connie, 你们两个女孩很可爱!Ken, I like you too, but I just couldn't put you in my example sentence. ;-) Amber, I know you'll be back tomorrow, but let me be the first to welcome you back in the tradition of the triple 对: Welcome back! Welcome back! Welcome back! Ok, I think I just started the triple WB tradition. When Jenny returns to Shanghai from Orlando, we all have to give her the triple WB greeting. :) Art
