  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  SCENE I

  Father and Mother are at home. Gwen just gets home.

  Gwen: I’m home, Mom, Dad.

  Mom: How’s your day, Gwen?

  Gwen: Not bad. I’m tired of taking buses to school every day.

  Father: Why?

  Gwen: The bus is so crowded every morning.

  Mom: I don’t understand. What’s your point?

  Gwen: I want to buy a motorcycle - a Harley.

  Father: What!! Harley! Are you insane?

  Mom: (to father) Calm down. (to Gwen) I understand your situation. I would agree if you want to buy a

  normal motorcycle, but Harley! Forget it.

  Gwen: But I want it so much. I’ve always wanted one.

  Father: OK. I can contribute some for the motorcycle, but you have to pay the rest yourself.

  Mom: I agree with your dad.

  Gwen: Oh! Yes! Are you sure? But I don’t have any money to pay for it!

  Father: You can use your New Years’ Red Envelope money or find a part-time job.

  Gwen: Hey, it sounds like a great idea to get a part-time job.

  Mom: You have to keep your eyes open when you look for a part-time job.

  Gwen: Don’t worry. I’ll be careful.

  Father: I can give you some advice and experience. When I was a teenager, I used to work as a porter. It was

  very tough, but I learned how to be responsible and how to use time. So will you. (change of tone) I

  remember I almost lost my life one day.

  Gwen: Thanks, Dad. I think I can handle it. I’ll be careful.

  SCENE II

  Gwen: Ivy, I want to find a part-time job. Are you interested in getting one for yourself, too?

  Ivy: It sounds great! I can search on the Internet for job opportunities.

  Gwen: Then I can look at the ads in the newspaper.

  (After 2 to 3 minutes)

  Gwen: Look! Here’s something interesting. It looks good.

  Ivy: Let me see... let’s make a phone call to see what the job is about.

  (Phone rings. Gwen and Ivy are calling the “I Need You” Company.)

  Boss: This is “I Need You” company! May I help you?

  Ivy: I need a part-time job, and I saw your ads in the newspaper, so …

  Boss: I see! Could you come to our company this Wednesday afternoon?

  Ivy: What?

  Boss: Oh! We’d like to interview you personally.

  Ivy: Is it alright if my friend comes along?

  Boss: No problem. You and your friend can come together.

  Ivy: Thank you. Bye.

  Boss: You’re welcome. See you! (hangs up.)

  Gwen: What did he say?

  Ivy: He said we can have interviews this Wednesday afternoon.

  Gwen: Great! Let’s do it. We can meet there.

  Ivy: I’m a little bit nervous.

  Gwen: It’ll be fine. Don’t worry.

  SCENE III

  (Wednesday afternoon, Gwen and Ivy are at the “I Need You” Company. They enter the company.)

  Boss: Hi, nice to meet you! Have a seat! Take it easy. O.K.! First, do you have any work experience?

  Gwen: No.

  Ivy: Me, either.

  Boss: That’s O.K. You’re just what our company needs. You can learn on the job. Second, do you have any

  talents? Like dancing or singing?

  Ivy: Well….

  Gwen: I love singing. My friend says I sing well.

  Boss: Very good!

  Ivy: May I ask what this job is about? What do you want us to do?

  Boss: It’s easy. You just need to sing and chat with customers. They might give you some extra tips if they like you.

  Gwen: Oh! It sounds great! I can get a lot of money! I’ll take this job! What do you think, Ivy?

  Ivy: Umm... but I’m not good at singing or dancing.

  Boss: It’s O.K.! Fanny…

  Fanny: Yes.

  Boss: She can teach you how to do this job well. It’s not hard.

  Gwen: How about the salary?

  Boss: Ha, ha! As to the salary, I won’t disappoint you. I promise you’ll be a rich girl in a few days. (shows a

  cunning smile)

  Ivy: I don’t think I can do it. It sounds fishy to me. I think we should ask more about what exactly we have to do.

  Gwen: Come on! Take it easy. It’s a good opportunity. We’ll make a lot of money. Just think about the money!

  Ivy: No, I’m sorry. I guess the job is not for me.

  Gwen: All right! Suit yourself.

  Ivy: Good luck. Bye. (exits)

  Fanny: Hi. Hmm…(looks at Gwen from head to toes) I think I’ll change the way you look, O.K.? (She starts to

  change Gwen’s hair style and her clothes and shoes; she also puts make-up on Gwen)

  SCENE IV

  (Gwen’s first day of work at a bar)

  Customer A: Wow, Fanny! Look at that girl! What a cute girl!

  Customer B: I’ve never seen her before. Who is she?

  Fanny: This is Gwen. It’s her first day here.

  Gwen: Hi. (She appears shy and uneasy.)

  Customer A: Come sit beside me.

  Customer B: Dance with me. (They both drag Gwen’ arms.)

  Gwen: Umm… What’s this all about? What’s going on? (Gwen starts to cry and turns to run away.)

  Fanny: Wait, wait! Stop it! Come back! Hey, what are you doing?

  Gwen: That man touched my butt.

  Fanny: So what? It’s no big deal. Take it easy. No matter what they do to you, you should always show respect

  to them and obey

  them.

  Gwen: (Sobs) Oh! The job is so different from what I have thought. I can’t do it! I can’t stand it! I want to quit!

  SCENE V

  At Gwen’s home

  Gwen: I can’t believe this. Darn! How stupid I was. It‘s disgusting. (Gwen’s still crying.)

  Mom: What’s wrong with you, honey?

  Gwen: It’s terrible. I don’t know how to tell you.

  Father: What’s the problem? Tell us.

  Gwen: I got a part-time job the other day. And today was my first day of work. I thought they just want me to be a

  performer, singing some songs and dancing for other people. But the customers there harassed me. They were
