A)
Sonya: … across to our reporter, Ken Diaz.
Ken: Thank you, Sonya. Yes, I'm standing here at the scene right now, and with me is an eyewitness, June Cross. Can you tell us what you saw?
June: Well, it all happened so fast … there was this incredibly loud noise, and everything shook…
Ken: Some kind of explosion, perhaps?
June: Yes. Yes, it must have been.
Ken: And then what happened?
June: Everyone was screaming and running ... some people crawled under cars ...
Ken: That's when the building collapsed?
June: Yes … there was dust and smoke everywhere ... It was awful!
Ken: Thank you. Well, Sonya, behind me óou can hear the sound of sirens as more rescue workers arrive. Police have cordoned off the area and firemen are already searching the rubble…
B)
Brutus Cray:I'm the greatest!
Reporter:You were the greatest, Brutus… but you're ten years older than Joe Freezer.
Cray:Joe Freezer! I'm not afraid of Joe Freezer!
Rep:Really?
Cray:Listen! I've beaten him twice, and I'm going to beat him again.
Rep:Are you sure?
Cray:Sure? Of course I'm sure.
Rep:Some people say he's better than you.
Cray:Listen! I've beaten all the best boxers, and Joe Freezer's one of the worst!
Rep:Yes, but he's better than he was.
Cray:Listen! I'm stronger, faster, fitter and more intelligent than him!
Rep:Yes, but he KO'ed Len Korton two months ago.
Cray:Len Korton. I've KO'ed him three times!
Rep: O.K., O.K., Brutus. Are you going to retire after this fight?
Cray:Retire? No. I've been the champion for ten years… and I'm going to stay the champion for another ten.
Rep:Joe Freezer doesn't think so!
Cray:Joe Freezer? Joe Freezer's the ugliest man in the world… after tonight he's going to need a new face!
