Ayaka: Sure, we just need a few tools for our DIY project. The power tools are over there. Chuck: Whoa, we’re not getting power tools. We just need a few simple hand tools: a hammer, a wrench, a chisel, some pliers – and maybe an extra screwdriver or two. Ayaka: We would get the job done so much more quickly if we had power tools. Instead of a hammer, we should get a nail gun. We also need a power drill, and hey, a sander and a table saw. Chuck: A table saw?! We’re doing some simple repairs, not remodeling our house. Ayaka: You never know when you need a good saw and I’ve always wanted a table saw. Chuck: Other women want clothes and jewelry, and you want power tools? Ayaka: That right. You should be counting your lucky stars! Script by Dr. Lucy Tse
