Now, listen again and follow along with the script below.
Dad: Oh, that was great! I love the part where Captain Kirk is fighting the alien!
Tom: Ugh! That was terrible! You can tell that the alien was just a guy with green make-up. The special effects
are terrible.
Dad: Yeah, but Star Trek was made in the 1960s. Special effects weren’t so good back then.
Tom: They were awful . . . .
Dad: You just have to use your imagination a little. Kids have no imagination these days.
Tom: We don’t need imagination! Anyway, the acting in that TV show wasn’t that great either.
Dad: What do you mean?
Tom: I mean that character with the big ears, from another planet . . . what’s his name . . . Spork, Splock . . . ?
Dad: You mean Spock?
Tom: Yeah! Well, anyway, his acting is terrible. He never smiles or gets angry or anything. That’s not acting!
Dad: He’s not supposed to smile or get angry. He’s an alien with no human feelings.
Tom: Yeah, well I think I could be an actor and do that.
Dad: Really?
Tom: Yeah.
Dad: Well, then, what kinds of movies or TV shows do you like?
Tom: I like superhero movies!

Tom: But if you had to choose, … who would you choose? Ant Man? Spiderman?
Dad: Um, let me think . . . .
Tom: Wonder Woman?
Dad: I think I would choose . . . .
Tom: Yeah?
Dad: I think I would choose the Incredible Hulk.
Tom: Why?
Dad: Because he’s big and green, just like the alien we saw in Star Trek!
Tom: Ugh! That was terrible! You can tell that the alien was just a guy with green make-up. The special effects
are terrible.
