对于美国的中学生来说，业余时间意味着什么呢？运动，购物还是聚会？下面的场景中，尼克和安伯正为他们乐团的重组一事忧心忡忡，看看他们是怎样走出这一困境的。
(Nick and Amber are sitting in The Net CafŽ, looking sad. Liz comes over. )
Liz: What’s wrong?
Nick: Our band broke up today.
Liz: What?
Amber: Three of our band members quit today!
Nick: Now it’s just Amber and me------ the lead singer and the guitar player.
(Nick sighs)
Liz: That’s too bad. Why did they quit?
Amber: Well, we practice five times a week. They didn’t want to practice that often.
Nick: And they wanted to sing songs with bad lyrics. Amber and I didn’t agree to that.
Liz: Then maybe it’s good that they quit.
Nick: I guess so. But...we were getting really good.
Liz: So find some new band members.
Nick: But where? Good musicians are hard to find!
Liz: (thinking) You could play here. You know how musicians are. If they like your music, they’ll talk to you.
Nick: OK. Thanks, Liz!
(One hour later, at The Net CafŽ, Nick is playing his guitar. Amber is singing. They finish a song, and several customers clap.)
Liz: (sees Mike coming) Hey, here comes a musician now!
Mike: Hi, guys! What are you doing?
Nick: We’re looking for new members for our band. Mike, can you play any instruments?
Mike: I can play guitar and bass1. I sing a little, too.
Nick: Would you like to join our band?
Mike: Sure! I’d love to join your band.
Nick: Terrific!
Amber: We still need someone to play drums.
Mike: I have a friend who’s a good drummer.
Nick: Call him! Ask if he wants to try out for our band.
Mike: OK. (picks up the phone, starts to call)
(Two hours later, Amber, Nick and Mike are performing a song. A young man is performing with them, playing the drums.)
Nick: Jason, would you like to join our band?
Jason: I’d love to!
Nick: Great! This is becoming the happiest day of my life! Now we just need someone to play the keyboard2.
Liz: Hey, Mike, doesn’t Linda play the piano?
Mike: Yes, she does.
Nick: Call and ask her if she wants to try out!
Mike: Linda and me in a band together? This is becoming the happiest day of my life!
(尼克和安伯坐在“网络咖啡屋”，面带愁容。这时莉兹走了过来。)
莉兹：怎么啦?
尼克：我们的乐团今天解散了。
莉兹：什么？
安伯：今天我们乐团里有三个人决定不来了！
尼克：现在只剩下安伯和我了——主唱和吉他手。
（尼克叹气）
莉兹：太可惜了。他们为什么打退堂鼓呢？
安伯：嗯，我们每个星期练习五次。他们不想练得那么勤。
尼克：而且他们想唱一些歌词不好的歌，安伯和我不同意。
莉兹：这样的话，也许他们离开是件好事。
尼克：我想也是。可是……我们之前唱得真的很棒啊！
莉兹：那就找一些新的乐团成员来啊。
尼克：从哪里找起?好的音乐人可是很难找的!
莉兹：（思考着）你们可以在这里演奏。你也了解音乐人的习性。他们如果喜欢你们的音乐，就会跟你们谈话。
尼克：好吧。谢了，莉兹！
（一小时后，尼克在“网络咖啡屋”弹吉他。安伯则在演唱。一首歌唱完，几个客人鼓掌。）
莉兹： (看见迈克过来)嘿，有一个音乐人出现了!
迈克：嗨，大家好!你们在做什么?
尼克：我们在帮乐团找几个新团员。迈克，你会弹奏乐器吗?
迈克：我会弹吉他和低音吉他，也可以唱唱歌。
尼克：你想加人我们乐团吗?
迈克：好啊!我很乐意。
尼克：太棒了!
安伯：我们还需要一个人来打鼓。
迈克：我有一个朋友，他鼓打得很好。
尼克：打电话给他!问他想不想来我们乐团试试。
迈克：好。(拿起电话，开始打电话)
(两小时后，安伯、尼克和迈克在表演一首歌。一个年轻男生和他们一起演奏，他是打鼓的。)
尼克：杰森，你想加入我们乐团吗?
杰森：我很乐意!
尼克：太棒了!今天变成我一生中最快乐的一天了!现在，我们只需要来个弹电子琴的就够了。
莉兹：对了，迈克，琳达不是会弹钢琴吗?
亚伦：是啊，她会。
尼克：打电话给她，问她想不想来试弹!
迈克：琳达和我在同一个乐团?今天也要变成我一生中最快乐的一天了！
