DARREN: So, you have three days off. What are you going to do?

SCOTT: I don't know. Probably I'm just going to hang around here and relax.

DARREN: Watch MTV, huh?

SCOTT: Not just MTV. I will probably rent some movies with Sylvia.We'll order some pizzas. Just relax.

DARREN: That's pathetic.

SCOTT: Huh? What do you mean "pathetic"? What's wrong with it?

DARREN: Spending three days like that is a kind of vegetable life.

SCOTT: Hey, listen. I work hard. If I want to relax on a long weekend, that's my business.

DARREN: Of course it's your business. But you should have better recreation than TV.

SCOTT: Yeah? Like what?

DARREN: You should get out of the house. Go out into nature.Or you should learn to play an instrument or something. Or learn to draw.But just sitting here and watching TV--that's idiotic. You're wasting your life.When you are older, you will have no memories. Your whole life will be all TV.

SCOTT: And you, Mr. Righteous, what do you do on the weekends?

DARREN: Well, this weekend Betty and I are going to a wine tasting on Saturday.And you know I'm in an archery club. Probably I'll do some practice on Sunday.And maybe I'll do some windsurfing with my friend Lou on Sunday or Monday.But the weather might not be good, so I don't know.

SCOTT: And you think all that is better than watching TV?

DARREN: Of course. For one thing, it requires some movement.For another, I do those things with my wife or my friends. There is some activity together.That's what recreation should be. Not just sitting in front of a screen.Sometimes I think TV is a kind of parasite.It attaches to people's brains, and sucks away their lives. SCOTT: I don't know.I don't watch much TV during the week. So I think it's all right on the weekend.

DARREN: But three days, Scott. You have three days here.You should have some better plans. SCOTT: I'll think about it.

戴倫：你有三天的假期，要做什么?

史考特：我不知道，或許在這里閑晃，休息休息。

戴倫：看音樂電視嗎?

史考特：不只是音樂電視，也許和絲維亞去租電影。訂披薩，好好休息。

戴倫：真是可憐。

史考特：什么?你說“可憐”是什么意思?有何不對嗎?

戴倫：三天那樣過，真的是活得很乏味。

史考特：嘿，聽著，我工作得很辛苦，如果我要休息一整個周末，那是我的事。

戴倫：當然是你的事。但是你應該有比看電視還要好的消遣。

史考特：是嗎?像是什么?

戴倫：你應該離開屋子，走向大自然?；蛘邔W點樂器之類的，或是學畫畫。單單坐在這里看電視是很蠢的，是在浪費生命。等你再老一點，你將沒有回憶。你的整個人生就是電視。
