Lovely America 
Heute: Der Überfall 


Das Telefon klingelt. 

Jane:
"Hello."

Der Freund (hastig atmend):
"Honey!"

Jane:
"Yes."

Freund (panisch):
"Honey! You will not believe what just happened. I am appalled!"

Jane:
"What's wrong? Don't tell me you ran over your lunch box again."

Freund (abwertend):
"No. [pausierend] No! I have never ran over... oh nevermind."

Jane:
"Well! What happened? Are you alright?"

Freund:
"They ate my lunch! I just came back to the job site and they ate it all!"

Jane:
"Who ate your lunch?"

Freund:
"The crows!"

Jane:
"You are calling me because the crows ate your lunch? Out of the lunch box?"

Freund (ungeduldig):
"No! Jesus! They just took it."

Jane:
"They kidnapped your lunch box?"

Freund:
"Are you listening at all? I did not have my lunch box with me. Everything was in a bag. The crows came and ate three sandwiches, all my crackers, all my M&M's... my M&M's! The ones with the..."

Jane (unterbrechend):
"...with the nuts! Appalling!"

Freund:
"Yeah! With the nuts! All of them! And the worst of it all: They picked my Dr. Pepper open. I got no lunch. I got no money. I am not happy. And I am hungry."

Jane:
"I am so sorry, honey. Ask Amber if she can give you some money."

Freund (beleidigt):
"No. I'll just starve."

Jane:
"How did you know that crows ate it all?"

Freund:
"I read their foot prints."

Lovely America
Heute: Kulturelle Errungenschaften


Jane holt Eiswürfel aus dem Eisfach.

Jane (erfreut):
"Oh! Your ice cubes fall out so easily! What's up with that?"

Freund (abwesend):
"Uhm."

Jane (lexikonhaft):
"You know, in Germany you have to hammer the box on the counter. Kind of annoying and noisy. The ice hardly comes out."

Freund (triumphierend):
"Well, honey, we Americans have had a long tradition of ice cube making. I reckon you Germans should concentrate less on cars and more on ice."

Jane:
"Oh shut up."
