Hello, I'm Kaz.
I'm Yang Li.
Hey Kaz, you are out of breath and wearing running shoes.
What's going on?
Wait a minute, Lee.
Let me catch my breath.
Yes, I'm wearing my running shoes because I've been running.
You have been running?
Why were you late?
Oh, it was because of something my boss told me to do.
Your boss told you to run to the studio?
Strange.
No, no, she said, Kaz, when you start tomorrow's program, I want you to hit the ground running.
I want you to hit the ground running.
Sounds rather dangerous.
Well, I thought I'd do it literally, you know, just for fun.
Oh, I see.
You thought you'd literally hit the ground running.
So you leapt off a fast moving bus and ended up running all the way to the studio.
