Unit 1 The Straight Story

Video 1 transcript

Talia:It’s all so incredible, Mom. I’m working on a story about one of the national soccer players, Nick Crawford… No, that’s the thing. He knows that one of

his teammates has framed him. And I believe he’s innocent.

[Knock on door]

Talia:Look, Mom. I have to go. I’ll call you tomorrow, OK? Bye. Yes, yes, me, too.

Bye.

Nick:Hi. I came as soon as I could. What’s up?

Talia:I’ve been thinking about this all day… Now tell me, again: When and how did you meet this Jackie Baker woman?

Nick:I’ve already told you. She came up to me at the juice bar. We set up a meeting.

Talia:Right. At her office. Except you never went up to her office.

Nick:Right, so she meets me in the lobby, we shake hands, and she takes me to lunch.

Talia:Yes, to a little place around the corner, as I recall.

Nick:Right. And then she asks me to endorse a new pair of shoes.

Talia:Yeah. You told me they’re called Kicks.

Nick:Right. And she explains that I’ll have to wear the sh oes when I play. And the company will use my name in the ads.

Talia:OK. Can you think of anything else?

Nick:Well, we did talk about an idea for a Kicks commercial.

Talia: A commercial? What commercial?

Nick:I told you about that, didn’t I? They wanted me to be in a commercial.

Talia:Tony, I need to see you. I have to bring you up to date on the Nick Crawford story.

Tony:Come in. What’s going on?

Talia:I just spoke to Nick. He was tricked. The tape was edited. He didn’t take a bribe. It just sounds that way.

Tony:Well, what does your audio expert say?

Talia:I forgot to tell you. It’s definitely Nick’s voice. And he said the tape was definitely edited.

Tony:But I don’t get it. Who’s behind this?

Talia:One of Ni ck’s teammates, Dean Bishop. He resents being in Nick’s shadow.

He wants to be the only star on the team.

Tony:Of course! The bottom line is… being the star is worth a lot of money in endorsements.

Talia:Still. I can’t imagine…

Tony:OK. So, now, what’s your plan?

Talia:I have an idea. I need some help from Amy.

Tony:Fine. You can have another day on this and we won’t run the story yet. But one more thing, Talia, I hope you’re not emotionally involved in this story. Talia:Me? Emotionally involved?

Tony:I know you wanna clear Nick’s name. But if you wanna have a career in journalism, you have to remember to stay objective.
