Script in English

SFX: Phone ringing.

Wendell: Hello.

Kathy: Hi, is Wendell in?

Wendell: Right here.

Kathy: Hi Wendell, it’s Kathy calling from Irving’s Cruisin’ to Win contest.

Wendell: Hi.

Kathy: I hear you won something recently!

Wendell: Oh I guess I did.

Kathy: Whatcha win?

Wendell: I can’t remember now... coffee I think.

Kathy: Oh that’s great! What do you take in it?

Wendell: What do I take in coffee?

Kathy: Uh huh!

Wendell: Sweetener and milk.

Kathy: Ahh! And then you drank it up as soon as you won it?

Wendell: Oh yeah.

Kathy: Ah that’s good. And how’s it changed your life?

Wendell: Um…I had a good cup of coffee that day.

Kathy: That’s beautiful. Well there you have it. Cruisin’ to Win is back with three ways to win. Instant win, enter to win, and collect to win. Great prizes like a Ford Expedition with a Harley V-Rod, Coke, and even coffee. So, are you a big celebrity around town?

Wendell: No.

Kathy: Tryin’ to keep to yourself?

Wendell: Yeah.

Kathy: Have you told everybody?

Wendell: No.

Kathy: Was it in the paper?

Wendell: No.

Kathy: Are you glad I called?

Wendell: No.

Kathy: Cruise in to Irving and Cruisin’ to Win. No purchase necessary. See in store for details.
