Answer Key forWeek 1: Who's That Guy?
Step 1: Pre-Video Listening Exercise Transcript
Have you ever wondered who someone was? Maybe you were at a party, in abar or even just on the bus.
You might have recognized the person from somewhere. Their face mighthave seemed familiar or maybe your have heard their voice before. Whatwould you do if you recognized someone on the bus? Would you go over tothem and say hi or would you slump down in your chair, look out the window
and try not to be seen? Maybe it just depends on who it is.
In Jerrys case he was not recognized at all he was a total stranger- and to behonest the waitress was not very friendly or good at her job.
What would you do if you went into a bar and someone asked another personin the bar quite loudly, whos that? I would probably do what Jerry didfeeluncomfortable but stay in the bar and order something.
Isnt it funny how we choose to suffer social awkwardness rather than just
leave? I mean, Jerry could have left the bar and gone to a different place toeat, but he decided to stick it out there. What would you have done?
Pre-Video Listening Exercise Answers
1) You might recognize someone in a party, on the bus or in a bar.
2) To slump down
3) I think he went into a bar because he is interacting with a waitress andthe audio refers to a bar later on. It could also have been a restaurant.
4) To stick it (something) out. Ex: The party was extremely boring but Istuck it out for 2 hours but at 1am I was exhausted and went home tosleep.
5) I dont know about you, but I (Diana) would not. I only tip people whenthey provide excellent service. Why should I give someone extra moneyfor being rude, slow or unfriendly?

this big bar in the middle of the room and off to the side was this popcorn
machine.
I went over to the popcorn machine automatically and I just started filling up
the basket. And and I looked around and the bartender who was a woman,
was talking to the manager and she pointed to me. And she goes Whos that
guy?
Automatically, I just felt alienated because I thought what bartender would say
Whos that guy within earshot of of a paying customer?
The manager came over to me and I started explaining to him: Well, sir, I
havent been to this place. I dont know the conduct and Im sorry for taking
your popcorn. Its like OK you can sit down and order if youd like.
So I sat at the bar and immediately this woman comes over to me, the
bartender, and she goes OK whatll ya have?
So I go I dont want a drink yet, thank you, I just wanna look at the menu.
So Im looking at the menu and theres probably about five guys sitting at the

charge you a dollar extra. Alright, whatever and I ate the uh cucumber

Step 8: Use it or Lose it. Diana's Description
Jerry starts his story by showing us his hand. It turns out that he has been
lifting weights in the gym and he has this huge blister on his hand. OUCH. I
guess he pinched his hand between some weights or something like that. It
looked painful.
I have to say that he doesnt look like he works out three times a week
though. It must be all those junk food places like, Dunkin Donuts and Burger
King that are on the way home from the gym. Two weeks ago Jerry stopped at
a place called Henneseys Grill for the first time since it changed into a bar.
When he first went in, he stopped to look around. So much had changed since
he had last been there, especially since there was now a big bar in the middle
of the room and a popcorn machine in the corner.
Jerry went over to help himself to some popcorn, which he assumed was
complementary, but as he did the bartender and manager started talking and
thats when the bartender pointed over at him and said quite loudly, Whos
that guy?
How rude can you get? I cant believe that the bartender would say something
like that to Jerry, especially since he is a potential customer. Anyways, the
manager went over to Jerry and Jerry explained that he hadnt been in the

place since it reopened and he didnt know that he couldnt help himself to
popcorn.
The manager said it was ok and invited him to sit down and order something,
but I would like to know what happened to the popcorn. Did Jerry eat it or did
he put it back in the machine? Anyways, he sat down at the bar and the
bartender immediately came over and said, quite abruptly, Ok, whatll ya
have?
Jerry didnt want a drink before his meal so he just asked for a minute to look
over the menu and while looking over the menu a group of guys came into the
bar.
Now, even though Jerry ordered before them, that group of guys ended up
receiving their food before Jerry, which made him a bit mad, which I can
understand. The waitress didnt seem too interested in serving him that day at
all.
To make matters worse when his food finally did arrive, 30 minutes later, he
didnt get the right order. The steak sandwich was right but he got fries
instead of mashed potatoes, cornbread and a cucumber salad.
Jerry asked her to check with the kitchen to see what was happening with his
side orders and she eventually brought them out, but still no corn bread. By
then he was getting pretty annoyed so he just said to forget about the bread.
Then he ordered a beer but the waitress gave him his tab instead. Talk about
bad service and it turned out to be a dollar more than he thought it would be.
The sandwich was $8.50 instead of $7.50. When he asked her why it was a
dollar more she said that it was a dollar for grilled onions in the sandwich.
Way to say that in the beginning lady.

In the end Jerry asked if he could get the fries packed up to go, which
surprised the waitress as he hadnt ordered them in the first place but she did
it anyway.
Then Jerry had to figure out how much to tip her, which was hard because the
waitress was rude, kept trying to rush him and didnt give him what he
ordered. In the end he gave her 2 bucks and wasnt sure if that was fair but
he didnt care too much because she had been so rude about the popcorn. Not
to mention that fact that Jerry would not be returning to that bar again in the
future.
