http://t1.g.hjfile.cn/listen/201308/201308180244162399549.mp3Many of the actors in Benny's show became almost as famous as he was. They would criticize Benny's refusal to replace his ancient automobile. They made fun of the pay telephone that he added to his house.
This is a telephone discussion between Benny and his trusted employee, Rochester.
"Hello."
"Hello, Mister Benny. This is Rochester."
"Rochester, I'm in the middle of the program."
"I know, boss, but this is very important. The man from the life insurance company was here about that policy you're taking out and he asked me a lot of questions."
"Well, I hope you answered them right."
"Oh, I did. When he asked me your height, I said five-foot-ten."
"Uh, huh."
"Your weight, 164."
"Uh, huh."
"Your age, 39."
"Uh, huh."
"We had quite a roundtable discussion on that one."
"Wait a minute, Rochester. Why should there be any question about my age?"
"Oh, it wasn't a question. It was the answer we had trouble with."许多在Benny演出中的演员都像Benny那么出名了。他们会评论Benny抱着古董手机不换。他们也会拿Benny在自己家里装电话的事情来开玩笑。
下面是Benny和他信任的员工Rochester的对话。
“你好。”
“你好，Benny先生。我是Rochester。”
“Rochester，我在演出中呢。”
“老板，我知道。但是这很重要。一位来自人寿保险公司的人到这里来问那条你剔除的政策，他问了我一些问题。”
“嗯。我希望你有好好回答。”
“嗯。我有。他问我你多高时，我说5尺10寸。”
“恩恩。”
“你的体重，164。”
“恩恩。”
“你的年龄，39.”
“恩恩。”
“我们就这个问题谈论了好一会儿。”
“等等，Rochester。为什么要对我的年龄有疑问呢？”
“啊，这不是重点啦。重点是我们现在有麻烦了！”
