Andrew: Oh, I wanted to see that huge robot statue over there.

Rina: I keep bumping into our old shogi club members by chance.

Andrew: Who else did you meet?

Rina: Tom. He finally got over his breakup with Masami.

Andrew: I didn’t even know they were dating each other.

Rina: Really? I thought everybody knew. Sota wasn’t happy about their relationship.

Andrew: You mean he liked Masami too?

Rina: Of course! It was obvious.

Mr. Emori: Yes, soon we’ll be able to look over Hakodate City at night.

Cindy: I heard it’s called a “million-dollar view.”

Mr. Emori: Yes, they say that in Japan. I wonder why they don’t use “yen.”

Cindy: You’re so funny, Mr. Emori!

Mr. Emori: Cindy, you can call me Toshio.

Cindy: OK, Toshio. Oh, it is kind of cold up here.

Mr. Emori: Here, let me put my jacket over you.

Cindy: Thank you, Toshio.

Gary: Me too. I always enjoy summer courses.

Helen: Right. There’s less pressure, and this class is interesting and fun.

Gary: I agree. I wish our regular classes were like this one.

Helen: Hey, when class is over, how about going over to Big West Coffee?

Gary: That’s just what I was thinking. They have a new coconut latte smoothie.

Helen: It might be crowded, though. There’s usually a long line there.

Gary: That’s OK.

Akira: Yes, Commander. I just did it.

Megan: Very good. Oh, Akira! Look. Something is appearing above those mountains. It’s come back!

Akira: What has?

Megan: The alien ship! It’s moving toward the base.

Akira: Oh, this is turning out to be an exciting day!

Megan: No time for jokes, Akira.

Akira: Right, Commander. I think the ship is directly above us now.

Megan: The cameras are showing it. What’s that blue light beam?

Akira: Are we being scanned?
