Script
Sue: Randy, what’s going on in this picture? It looks like you have blood all over your shirt.
Randy: No, that’s not blood. It’s ketchup.
Sue: Ketchup? What happened?
Randy: This happened when Tim and I were traveling around Asia. We were in Bangkok.
Sue: Yeah…
Randy: …and we had reservations to catch an overnight bus to Chiang Mai.
Sue: Yeah.
Randy: And we were waiting at a king of restaurant that was sort of a travel agency…and we went early, but the bus didn’t come, and I was getting kind of worried.
Sue: Yeah…but what’s that got to do with ketchup?
Randy: So, I was beginning to wonder if we’d been cheated, because we’d already paid for our tickets in advance.
Sue: Right.
Randy: Then, finally, a van pulled up , and we thought, no , this is not the bus…but then everyone else who was waiting pushed right past us and jumped in , and, bam!—just like that, the van drove away. And then this sweet little Thai woman, who was the tickets, came up to us.
Sue: Yeah, and …
Randy: …and she said, “Why you no get on?” And Tim was like, “ That wasn’t the bus, was it?” “Only one, why you not get on?” And I didn’t know she was talking about…
Sue: So what happened?
Randy: Well, the travel agent jus shrugged and turned and went inside her shop. Neither of us could believe it. I started to get really angry , like we’d been cheated, and now it’s dark and we’re stranded in this little restaurant…
Sue: Oh, no…
Randy: I followed her inside, I started arguing. I told her, “We paid for the bus. You didn’t tell us to look for a v
an. Now you have to get us a taxi to Chiang Mai. Now.” And I started pointing at the clock. I think that was the last straw for the woman, because she started shouting. “You no go. You no go Chiang Mai!” She grabbed a ketchup bottle off the table you know, one of those plastic squirt ketchup bottles, and she squirted ketchup at me!
Sue: No! She didn’t!
Randy: Yeah! She did. And then she threw the bottle at me. And Tim snapped the picture. Just then the same van pulled up and the woman said, “Now you go.”
Sue: So you got on the van.

Script
Ed: Are you worried about having enough money? Are you worried about paying your bills? Well, worry no more!
Customer-1: I used to watch every penny. But now I’m worth four million dollars, and it’s all thanks to Steven Crowe!
Customer-2: I used to get headaches from worrying about money. I had a lot of credit-card debt, and my mortgage payments were killing me. Then I got Steven Crowe’s videos, and learned how to make real money.
Ed: “Real money.” That’s the name of this 3-video set by Steven Crowe. Let Steven show you how to become financially independent buying and selling real estate.
Steven Crowe: Hi! I’m Steven Crowe. I used to worry about money, too. I felt like a victim of the system. But then I found a way to make the system work—for me.
Ed: What’s the trick, Steven?
Steven Crowe: There’s no trick, Ed. It’s simple, once you understand how real estate really works. All you need to know is how to buy low and sell high. And that’s exactly what my videos teach you to do.
Ed: And you can get really rich?
Steven Crowe: Just ask some people who have “Real Money.”
Customer-1: After I got the “Real Money” videos, I bought my first house, following Steven’s simple rules. Six months later I sold it
and bought two more houses. A year after that, I had enough money to quit my job. Now I have more money than I’ll ever need, and it’s such a great feeling.
Steven Crowe: I want you to have that feeling, too. And you can.
Ed: Call now to order “Real Money.” 1-800-289-7325. That’s 1-800-BUY-REAL. Only three payments of $$19.95 each, plus shipping and handling. All major credit cards welcome. Get it today, for a worry-free tomorrow! Results may vary.
Randy: Yeah, we ended up at the bus terminal, where this big, air-conditioned tour bus was waiting to go to Chiang Mai. And all the people who had pushed ahead of us earlier were there, waiting to leave. I felt SO stupid for getting angry at the woman and making such a fool of myself.
Sue: You must have felt terrible.
Randy: Yeah, I wished there was some way I could go back and apologize to her. I realized that I have to be more patient, especially when I’m in another country
