这天，Ted在重温以前的美剧《老友记》，刚好Heather也喜欢看这部剧，于是他们对里面的角色进行了讨论。Ted喜欢疯疯癫癫的乔伊，而Heather却对有洁癖的摩尼卡大有相见恨晚之感。

Heather: 1)Hiya, Ted. ①What’s on?

Ted: Oh, hi, Heather. I’m just watching some old episodes of Friends.

Heather: Really? That’s my favorite 2)sitcom!

Ted: No kidding? I didn’t think you liked sitcoms. I thought you were into more serious stuff.

Heather: I usually am, but there’s nothing wrong with a little light entertainment every once in a while.

Ted: No, there isn’t!

Heather: So, who’s your favorite character?

Ted: ②Joey, hands down. ③He’s just so out there. Everything he says is 3)hilarious.

Heather: ④I should have known! You always like the comic relief.

Ted: Heather, the whole show is comic relief! But Joey is the funniest one. What about you? Who’s your favorite?

Heather: I don’t know. They all have such colorful personalities. And the writing in this show is so good, each and every character really 4)comes alive. It’s impossible to choose.

Ted: No fair asking if you won’t answer! OK, I’ll change the question a little bit: Which character would you most like to meet in real life?

Heather: Monica. Without a doubt.

Ted: Why so certain?

Heather: Well, watching the show is fun,⑤but I think if I really knew those people, they would get on my nerves.

Ted: That’s true. TV is always more interesting than real life, because every moment has to be entertaining.

Heather: Exactly. But Monica is one of the straight characters, you know? Not so crazy, not so out there. I think if we met in real life, we would really 5)click.

Ted: I can see it now! You two neat freaks would probably get on each other’s nerves. They could write a sitcom about that!

Heather: What, me in a sitcom? ⑥That’ll be the day!

Ted: I’d pay money to see that. Oh, hey! The commercials are over. The show’s back on.

Heather: I’ll leave you to it, then. Anyway, I have to…

Ted: Shhh!

Heather: OK! I’m going, I’m going!
