Task 2: You forget my toast!
Script¹
An 80-year-old couple was having problems remembering things, so they decide to go to their doctor to see what was wrong with them. They explained to the doctor about the problems they were having with their memory. After checking the couple over, the doctor told them that they were physically² okay but might need to start writing things down to help them remember. The couple thanked the doctor and left.
Later that night while watching TV, the old woman said to the old man, “Honey, will you please go to the kitchen and get me a dish of ice cream?”
Before the man left, she added³, “Why don’t you write that down so you won’t forget?”
“Nonsense,” said the husband, “I can remember a dish of ice cream!”
“Well,” said the wife, “I’d like some strawberries on it. You’d better write that down because I know your memory is failing.”
“Don’t be silly,” replied the husband. “There’re only two things: a dish of ice cream and some strawberries. I can surely⁴ remember that!”
With that, he rushed into the kitchen. After about twenty minutes he returned from the kitchen and handed her a plate of bacon⁵ and eggs.
The wife took one look at the plate, glanced up at her husband, and said, “Hey, you forget the toast!”
