You make think you’ve seen this before, but you haven’t. “Yeah, yeah, I know,” you’re probably thinking. “Amanda likes Mason and he doesn’t get it. This is just like <a href=”http://www.englishbaby.com/lessons/3983/eavesdropping/mason_s_date">the time he told her about a date he went on, or the time they cuddled on the couch and nothing happened."

And, you know, you’d have good reason for thinking that. Even Amanda is about to give up on Mason. She’s starting to think it’s hopeless. But you’re both wrong. Watch and see what happens. The voices you hear are Mason and Amanda’s thoughts.

Amanda

Mason:  Whoa, I am totally checking out Amanda. What the heck is up with that? Like, seriously, what if she knew. I mean, we’re such good friends…This is just messed up.

Amanda:  Where am I going to meet a cool guy? On the Internet? I don’t really want to go on a blind date and this whole thing with Jason was a train wreck. I mean, he’s nice and all, it’s just not gonna happen and he just doesn’t get it.

Mason:  OK Mason. Get a hold of yourself. You’re into Amanda. This is kinda big. So what do I do? What would happen if I uh, maybe if I just like uh…
