Cast: (in order of appearance) Dash Parr, Mario
Dash Parr: ¡Hola, y recepción a otra edición del comentario del email de Mario!
Mario: Practicing your Spanish, I see.
Dash Parr: Yes, and I am bueno! That means "good" in Spanish.
Mario: So what's the news.
Dash Parr: Mario answers an email from Janet about how to become a graduate of Mushroom Kingdom University, and the courses they offer are pretty good.
Mario: I think you've got a keen eye for English. We offer many more classes besides those listed here.
Dash Parr: Why thanks, Mario. (pause until the skills test is shown) Speaking of skills, I'd be good at English! Why I'd thank whoever gave me the skills to catch people's mistakes. Look at the time! I gotta leave for an important meeting! Bye Mario.
