Scene I

   (Anita, Kevin, Ken, Jason, Steven, and Rita are all Tunghai University students. They are good friends. One day, Ken and Jason meet on the way to the classroom.)

   Ken: Why are you late? And, you just missed the last class. The teacher gave us the main topics for the mid-term examination.

   Jason: Oh, shoot! I just missed it. Would you lend me your notes so I can make a copy?

   Ken: Sure if you give me a good reason why you missed the class. You promised me that you would be in class on time today.

   Jason: Believe me, I would like to keep my word. The problem is that I have the “Business Management” test today and I was up studying for it till three o’clock this morning. Then I fell asleep and woke up at ten o’clock this morning.

   Ken: You studied until three o’clock this morning? Why? What did you do yesterday afternoon? I know you were free from four o’clock on yesterday.

   Jason: Well, I met one of my very old friends on line and we just talked too long…

   Ken: For God’s sake! Don’t you care about next week’s mid-term examination?

   Scene II

   (Anita, Steven and Kevin are talking to one another in front of a classroom. And, Anita is trying to prevent Steven and Kevin from cutting the next class.)

   Anita: Hey, we’ll have the “Business Management” class in a few minutes. Where are you going? Don’t tell me that you are going to argue with Jason.

   Steven: I will do anything for my good friend. Of course I am going to argue with the guy who gave my good friend a hard time.

   Anita: You always like to get involved in someone else’s business. You’ll get yourself in trouble. Don’t you know it? ...

   Kevin: Anita, don’t be upset with him. He will not listen to you. Just leave him alone. By the way, I am still waiting for your decision. Are you coming with me to the concert tomorrow?

   Anita: Oh, I am sorry that I almost forgot it. What time tomorrow?

   Kevin: Two o’clock. I cannot wait to see my adorable superstar – Jolin. Oh, how wonderful!

   Anita: wait a minute. We have Calculus class tomorrow afternoon. Are you out of your mind?

   Kevin: Well, I’m not. Yet I think we can just copy the notes from someone else.

   Anita: No, this is a very important class. And you would never understand it without listening to the lecture.

   Kevin: To me it makes no difference. Even if I were in the class I would never understand what the teacher is talking about. Besides, who likes to look at the old baldhead?
