(In the living room)
Zac: Why are you crying, Mom? Is there anything wrong?
Mom: I'm crying because my favorite actor, Ryan Bank, is crying in the movie now. His acting really touches my heart.
Zac: That young star? You surprise me, Mom.
Mom: Yeah. I'm old enough to be his mom. I'm now a big fan of his. I want to watch all his movies, and I think I'll never be bored with them.
Zac: Why do you like him so much?
Mom: Well, he is talented and hard-working. Guess what? He has won several awards since he started acting at age eight.
Zac: I'm surprised to hear that.
(An hour later)
Mom: Zac, Ryan Bank's latest movie looks exciting. It's about ghosts in an old castle. Are you interested in watching it?
Zac: I'll pass. Scary movies are boring to me. Besides, I'm under 18; I'm too young to watch this movie.
Mom: Oops. That's surprising. I didn't see that information.
Zac: Wait. This movie is in theaters now. Why are you downloading it on the Internet? We shouldn't watch pirated movies, should we?
Mom: Sorry, I set a bad example. I was so excited that I didn't think clearly. I'll go book a ticket online.
Zac: I'm proud of you, Mom.
（在客廳）
柴克：媽，妳為什麼在哭？發生什麼事了嗎？
媽媽：我哭是因為我最喜愛的演員，萊恩．班克，正在電影中哭泣。他的表演真的讓我很感動。
柴克：那名年輕的明星？妳讓我很驚訝，媽。
媽媽：沒錯。我年紀大到可以當他媽媽了。我現在是他的超級粉絲。我想要看他所有的電影，而且我想我永遠不會對它們感到無聊。
柴克：妳為什麼這麼喜歡他？
媽媽：嗯，他既有才華又勤奮。你知道嗎？從他八歲開始演戲至今，已經獲得好幾個獎項了。
柴克：真讓人感到驚訝。
（一小時後）
媽媽：Zac，Ryan Bank 最新的電影看起來很刺激。它是關於一座古堡裡的鬼。你有興趣看嗎？
柴克：我就算了。恐怖電影對我來說很無聊。而且，我未滿十八歲；我年紀太小，無法看這部電影。
媽媽：噢。那真令人驚訝。我沒有看到那個資訊。
柴克：等一下。這部電影上映中。妳為什麼在網路上下載？我們不應該看盜版電影，不是嗎？
媽媽：抱歉，我做了不好的示範。我太興奮了以致於沒有想清楚。我會在網路上訂票的。
柴克：媽，我為妳感到驕傲。
