MODEL3   You’d better get more exercise in your leisure time.
Script
Amy: Look at you! You’re fat and flabby. You’d better get more exercise in your leisure time, or you’ll never be Governor of California.
Bill: That’s right. I’m no Schwarzenegger, no Mr. Universe, so don’t bug¹ me.
Amy: He shows what exercise can do. He used to be a skinny kid from Austria.
Bill:  He likes exercise; I don’t. I was born tired, and I’ve been resting ever since.
Amy: Seeing a fine specimen² like him, don’t you feel like exercising vigorously to stay in good shape?
Bill:  Whenever I feel like exercising, I lie down and rest until the feeling passes.
Amy: Ha, ha, very funny. Surely you’ve read about the dangers of obesity³.
Bill:  Scientists constantly find dangers: smoking, cholesterol⁴. What else is new?
Amy: You must know an exercise like walking benefits the mind and body.
Bill:  I do, and I walk every day—from my office to the parking lot, not-stop.
Amy: OK, have it your way. Eventually you’ll be a burden on our health system.
Bill:  And just what do you mean by that? I’m not sick. My appetite is good.
Amy: If you stay fat, heart trouble or high blood pressure could hospitalized you.
Bill:  Well, you may have a point there. I suppose we could go for a walk after dinner, slowly.
