Dialog 1 the eleventh hour [ 土壇場で ]
| Angela: | You drove around the US with your family for two months? |
| Yukio: | Yeah! But I almost didn't go because I had a part-time job at a restaurant. |
| Angela: | They wouldn't give you the time off? |
| Yukio: | No, but at the eleventh hour they went out of business! The following week we were on the road! |
Dialog 2 brush up on something [ やり直す ]
| Angela: | Wow, I hear you're going to Tanzania next week! |
| Yukio: | Listen, I can speak Swahili, too! "Chikuwa kisu." That means "pick up the knife." And…um…well, that's all I remember. |
| Angela: | That's it?! "Pick up the knife?" |
| Yukio: | Yeah, you're right. I'd better brush up on my Swahili. |
