走遍美国：笔墨+视听一位物流美眉的创业乐成履历

Marilyn: Well, he's asleep-finally. I feel so bad for him. It hurts so much when a baby gets his first teeth.

Ellen: He'll be fine, Marilyn.

Richard: Well, he wakes up several times during the night, and the pain is so bad.

Marilyn: I'm really concerned about going away for the weekend, Ellen, and leaving you with the full responsibility of taking care of Max. Especially with his teething. I wish he felt better.

Ellen: Please don't worry, Marilyn. Remember your father-in-law's a pediatrician. We have a live-in doctor if there's a problem I can't handle.

Richard: I agree, Marilyn. We really don't have to be overly concerned.

Richard: I'll go upstairs and stay with him until he falls asleep again.

Marilyn: Thanks, Richard. Try putting him across your lap on his stomach. He likes that.

Richard: I’ll try it.

Ellen: When are Susan and Harry Picking you up, Marilyn?

Marilyn: They're coming by at six tomorrow morning, so we can get an early start.

Ellen: That's nice. And you'll have a full day in the country.

Marilyn: And a full night. Tomorrow night we'll be camping out in tents.

Ellen: And coming home on Sunday?

Marilyn: We'll be heading back late in the afternoon.

Ellen: You're going to have the time of your lives. Camping out is such great fun.

Marilyn: We'll have a great time camping out, I'm sure. But I’m still a little worried about you, Ellen.

Ellen: It will be my great pleasure, Marilyn. Remember, it's only one night.

Richard: He's asleep. I think he'll sleep through the night now.

Marilyn: Thanks, honey. I hope he's good when we're away.

Richard: Well, so do I. Now, to check the list of things we need for the camping trip. We need to bring a flashlight.

Ellen: It's in the right-hand drawer, next to the bottle openers.

Richard: Do we have a bottle opener on the list, Marilyn?

Marilyn: No. No bottle opener. Is that one of the things Susan and Harry are bringing?

Richard: No. And we're bring the ketchup, mustard, relish-all that stuff. And cooking utensils. Well, here's the bottle opener, and here's the flashlight.

Ellen: Matches.

Marilyn: Matches?

Richard: Yes, of course. For when we build our campfire. I can't build a fire by rubbing two pieces of wood together.

Marilyn: And don't forget your camera and film, Richard.

Richard: All packed and ready.

Marilyn: And let's not forget our cassette player and some tapes. Some music tapes and some blank tapes so that we can record our thoughts about the trip.

Ellen: Oh, that's a nice idea. An audio diary.

Marilyn: That's what I thought.

Richard: Got it! The cassette player and the tapes.
