Review Three.It's lunchtime.Mike and Jim are still at F.A.O.Schwarz.
They're very hungry and decide to ahve lunch at a good restaurant...
but which one?Listen to the conversation.
Listen carefully for the names of the three restaurants Mike and Jim talk about.
Which one is in Brooklyn?
I don't know,Jim.Jake's pretty reliable.
He knows a lot about restaurants,and he said to me,"Go to the Carnegie Deli.
They have the best sandwiches in New York."
That's near Times Square.I don't like that area.
Anyway,I'm hungry,Mike.
I want more than a sandwich.
How about the River Cafe in Brooklyn?
It got a terrific review in the Tribune.
They said....Yeah!Sure...You paying?
Remember what Maria said to us:"Don't spend a lot of money."
Anyway,Brooklyn't too far away.OK.OK.
Listen,how about P.J.Clarke's on Third Avenue?
Jake said they have great steaks,and it's not expensice.
Good salads too.
Well,which restaurant is in Brooklyn?
The River Cafe.Now listen and repeat.
Jake said to me go to the Carnegie Deli
Jake said to me,"Go to the Carnegie Deli."
Maria said to us
don't spend a lot of money
Maria said to us,"Don't spend a lot of money."
Notice that when the verb say is followed by a person,
you need the preposition to:
Jake said to me...not Jake said me..Maria said to us...not Maria said us...
This is different from the verb tell.
With tell you don't need the preposition to:Jake told me...,
Maria told us..Let's practice these words.You hear....
Jake told me to go to the Carnegie Deli.And you say...
Jake said to me,"Go to the Carnegie Deli."You hear....
Maria told us not to spend a lot of money.And you say...
Maria said to us,"Don't spend a lot of money."
Ready?Here we go.Jake told me to go to the Carnegie Deli.
Jake said to me,"Go to the Carnegie Dei."
Maria told us not to spend a lot of money.
Maria said ot us,"Don't spend a lot of money."
Mike told Jim to eat as much as he wants.
Mike said to Jim,"Eat as much as you want."
Jim told the waiter to please bring the menu.
Jim said to the waiter,"Please bring the menu."
The waiter told Jim to please not smoke in this area.
The waiter said to Jim,"Please don't smoke in this area."
Mike told Jim to hurry up and order.
Mike said to Jim,"Hurry up and order."
Jim told Mike not to get excited.
Jim said to Mike,"Don't get excited."
Good.Now Patricia Woo is telling her friends about her new job at WEFL.Listen.
Well,guys,what can I tell you?
It's a great job.
I'm working with some terrific people.
The producar's name is Maria.
She's been at WEFL since 1947,I think.
She's real old...must be srventy.
She loses things all the time.
Kind of crazy,if you know what I mean.
I'm her assistant,but actually I'm the one who's really in charge.
Then there'sSteven and Jake.
Steven's our director,and Jake's this great reporter.
Boy,is Jake cute!I mean,like wow!They're both young,of course,and not married.
And then there's Jim and Mike...and...
OK.Sometimes Patricia is telling the truth,
and sometimes Patricia is not telling the truth.
Sometimes she's telling a lie.
Now lisen and repeat.
she's telling
She's telling the truth.

She's telling a lie.
From what you know about the people at WEFL,
decide if Patricia is telling the truth or telling a lie.Yu hear...
The producer's name is Maria.And you say...
She's telling the truth.You hear...
She's real old...must be seventy.And you say...
She's telling a lie.OK?Let's begin.

OK.Patricai Woo didn't tell the truth on her resume.She said...
I was a reporter at the Tribune.
Maria called an editor at the Tribune to check.The editor said...
A reporter?Patricia who?And Maria said...
Patricia Woo,W-o-o,W-o-o.And the editor said...
Oh,yeah.pat Woo.I have no idea what she told you,but she wasn't a reporter.
She was an assistant reporter.
Now Steven wants to know what the truth is.
He sees Ms.Woo across the parking lot and decides to talk to her.
Listen to their conversation.
You-hoo,Ms.Woo...Pat! Oh,hello...Hi!
Congratulations on the new addition to the family.
Thanks.Do you have a minute?There's a small problem about your resume-
Oh,that assistant reporter business.
I already told Maria the whole story.
But the editor said to Maria-
Listen,Steven,I have no idea what the editor at the Tribune said to her
or didn't say to her....or which editor may have told these lies.
I'm telling you the truth.I was a reporter,and I have the stories to prove it.
When he talks about assistant,
maybe he's talking about the terrible salary they paid me.
Now listen and repeat.
I have no idea
I have no idea what
I have to idea what she told you.
I have no idea
I have no idea what

OK?Let's begin.Do you know what Patricia told us?

Do you know where Jake is?

When is Kathy coming back? I have no idea when she's coming back.
Guess what Maria said to me.
I have no idea what she said to you.
How are Mike and Jim doing in New York?
I have no idea how they're doing in New York?
Do you know what happens to people who tell lies?
I have no idea what happens to people who tell lies.
