A pleasant dream

美好的夢

JULIE: Are you doing the football

pools, Brain?

BRIAN: Yes, I've nearly finished, Julie.

Julie. I'm sure we'll win

something this week.

JULIE: You always say that,

but we never win anything!

What will you do

if you win a lot of money?

BRIAN: If I win a lot of money

I'll buy you a mink coat.

JULIE: I don't want a mink coat!

I want to see the world.

BRIAN: All right.

If we win a lot of money

We'll travel round the world

and we'll stay at the best

hotels. Then we'll return home

and buy a big house in the

country. We'll have a beautiful

garden and …

JULIE: But if we spend all that money

we'll be poor again.

What'll we do then?

BRIAN: If we spend all the money

we'll try and win the football

pools again.

JULIE: It's a pleasant dream

but everything depends on 'if'!
