Adventure in America (12)



場面:リディアとジュンはミネソタアメリカ祭へ行っています。



W: Hey, Jun, shall we go to the Minnesota State Fair? It's great.



M: You guys have a state fair? That sounds lame… What do you do there? Watch the pigs?



W: No, it's not at all like that. Hey, you like The Flaming Lips, right?



M: Yeah, I love them! The greatest band!



W: Well, how about we see them tomorrow? They're at the Fair!



M: OK, but if the tickets sell out, are we going to have to watch the pigs?



W: (at the State Fair the next day) Wow. Look at all the food served “on a stick”. I mean, of course, there's the classic corn dog. But there's also alligator-on-a-stick, deep-fried candy bars, cheese curds, and that new chocolate-covered bacon on a stick called “Pig Lickers”.



M: Sh…! The band's about to start, and those last two spaghetti-on-a-sticks aren't sitting very well with the cotton candy right now...
