Tessa: Oh sweetie, are you excited about your performance tonight?
Daniel: Not really, I’m pretty nervous. There’s going to be 200 people watching me play Kung fu.
Kathy: 200???? Wow…that’s a lot of people watching you do Kung fu.
Daniel: Exactly.
Kathy: Ummm…are you going to play swimming now?
Tessa: Oh yeah, that’s right…I have to go swimming. I’ll catch you later. Break a leg. Bye!
Daniel: What?
Tessa: Break a leg. Bye!
Daniel: What’s wrong with her?
Kathy: What do you mean?
Daniel: She told me to break a leg!
Kathy: I thought so. Did she really say that?
Daniel: Yes, I am sure. She said BREAK A LEG.
Kathy: Weird
Daniel: Strange
Kathy: Unusual…she also said “catch you later” did you hear that?
Daniel: Maybe someone will have to catch me after I break my leg.
Kathy: Well, maybe you should break with her
Daniel: Like tell her that I do not want to be her boyfriend?
Kathy: Yeah! She’s not nice to you.
Daniel: You’re right…I will call her now.

Tessa: Hello?
Daniel: I am sorry, but I have to break with you
Tessa: Break with me? What do you mean?
Daniel: No more boyfriends and girlfriends
Tessa: I don’t have any other boyfriends
Daniel: No, I mean I don’t want to be your boyfriend. I want to break
Tessa: Oh, you mean you want to break up with me…why?
Daniel: You know.
Tessa: No, I don’t know. Why? I don’t want to break up with you.
Daniel: You told me to break a leg.
Tessa: (laughs) Oh sweetie, I will be right there.


Kathy: Well, what did she say?
Daniel: She said she’s coming here.
Kathy: Why?
Daniel: I don’t know.


Tessa: We don’t need to break up…this is a misunderstanding
Kathy: Oh really?
Daniel: How?
Tessa: When we say “Break a leg” we mean “good luck”.
Kathy: Really? Why did you say “catch you later”?
Tessa: Catch you later is another way to say “goodbye”.
Daniel: Oh no…..
Tessa: It’s ok…no broken hearts for us today
