Video Script

ASHLEY: Anna, where are you going in such a hurry?
ANNA: Hi, Ashley. The nurse’s office. Today I get the results from my blood test.
ASHLEY: I’m sure you’re fine. Don’t worry.
ANNA: You know, I used to dream of being a nurse. It is such an honorable career. Is there something you’ve dreamed of doing?
ASHLEY: Sure! I would love to be a dog trainer. Actually, I’ve taught my dog, Dublin, lots of tricks!
ANNA: Well, I’m off to the nurse. Bye, Ashley.
ASHLEY: Bye, Anna.
ANNA: Bye, Dublin.
(Anna stands near the nurse’s office and listens to her phone call.)
NURSE: I’m looking at her test results and they’re not good. In fact, I’m afraid she’s not going to make it.
ANNA: What?! I'm not going to make it? I'm dying??
NURSE: Anna, come in. How are you?
ANNA: I guess..not so good. I’m dying!?
NURSE: What are you talking about?
ANNA: I just heard you on the phone. Just tell me: How much longer do I have?
NURSE: I wasn't talking about you. A student of mine didn’t do well on her science test. So, she won’t be able to make it ... to graduation.
ANNA: Whew. Thank goodness! For a minute, my whole life passed before my eyes. There are so many things I haven't done yet.
NURSE: Well, life is short. It’s important to do something you love every day.
ANNA: I couldn’t agree more.
NURSE: Now, let’s talk about your blood test. Your cholesterol is really low.
ANNA: Awesome!
(Next, Anna is sitting in a sound studio with Jonathan.)
JONATHAN: Okay, Anna, say something and I’ll check your sound level.
ANNA: Testing 1, 2, 3. Testing. Jonathan, I’ve been wondering something: What’s at the top of your bucket list?
JONATHAN: That’s easy. I’d love to win the World Karaoke Contest.
ANNA: This is so strange. I just saw on Twitter that they are having auditions in D.C. this weekend!
JONATHAN: Are you serious? Can you read the story by yourself?
ANNA: Sure, absolutely.
JONATHAN: Thanks!
ANNA: You go.
(Anna goes outside and talks to Penelope.)
ANNA: Penelope, I was wondering if you still dream of being a dancer.
PENELOPE: Only every day!
ANNA: Well, guess what: A famous dancer is having a flash mob around the corner! Hundreds of people are dancing together!
PENELOPE: No way!
ANNA: Way! If you leave right now, you can join them! Bye!
(Anna then sits with Pete in the office kitchen.)
ANNA: Pete, what’s one of your dreams?
PETE: Well, last night I dreamt I was in a spaceship. I was flying through outer space with these two beautiful...
ANNA: Pete -- not that kind of dream. I mean your hopes for the future.
PETE: Oh. I plan on selling my book to Hollywood and becoming rich and famous.
ANNA: That’s going to be difficult.
PETE: It’s my agent! Hello? Uh-huh. Sure! I can be in Los Angeles tomorrow!
ANNA: Well, good job, Anna! My work here is done … almost.
(Music plays as Anna talks to many more coworkers)
MUSIC: You can search but you won't find the answer without a dream. You can reach for the stars but you won't get there without a dream...without a dream.
(Then, Anna is sitting at her work desk.)
MS. WEAVER: Anna, what’s going on? Where is everybody?
ANNA: I don’t know. Maybe something is, uh, going around the office.
MS. WEAVER: You mean germs? Anna, you’d better use some of this hand cleaner. You don’t want to get sick, too.
ANNA: Right. Okay, thanks. Not germs – dreams, Ms. Weaver. Dreams.
MS. WEAVER: What did you say, Anna?
ANNA: Nothing. Nothing.
PROF. BOT: We hope you have enjoyed Level 2 of Let’s Learn English. Everyone is following their dreams, big and small.
PROF. BOT: What are your dreams? Our dream is for you to keep learning English! Thanks for watching.
