Jan and James Oliver's House, Angel Grove
October 27, 1996
6 pm
Tommy got home and walked in the door. His father was at the kitchen table reading the newspaper.
"Hello, Tommy, any luck with the job market?" James asked.
"Just got done with an interview. Where's Mom?" Tommy asked.
"Out shopping for the twins," James said as the phone rang. Tommy went to answer it.
"Hello?" Tommy asked.
"Hello, is this Thomas Oliver?" a man's voice said.
"Yes, this is him," Tommy said.
"My name is Phillip Davis from the Golden Eagle Karate Training Center. I'm calling regarding the job interview you had a few days ago and you have the experience I'm looking for. Congratulations you got the job!" Phillip said.
"Oh my gosh, thank you, sir! I won't disappoint you!" Tommy said.
"I know you won't and please call me Phil," Phillip said as he said goodbye and hung up.
"Well?" James said.
"I got a job, at the Golden Eagle Training Center, teaching the yellow and green belts! I have to tell Kim," Tommy said as he went upstairs.
"Congratulations!" James called after him, then went back to reading his newspaper.
Tommy went into his room and picked up the phone. He dialed Kim's number and waited.
"Hello?" Kim's friend Carrie said.
"Hey, Carrie, it's Tommy. Is Kim there?" Tommy said.
"Well, hello their hot stuff! She just got back from a job interview. Kim! Your really hot ex-boyfriend is on the phone!" Carrie shouted.
"Carrie, shush! The whole neighborhood can hear you!" Kim said as she took the phone.
"Well, it's true!" Carrie said.
"Just go and help with the dishes!" Kim said as Carrie left the room.
"Hey Tommy, sorry about her. She gets a little too wound up sometimes," Kim said.
"I'll say! She sounds and acts like Rocky. We should hook those two up!" Tommy said.
"Yeah, maybe. So, what's up?" Kim asked.
"Good news! I got a job, at the Golden Eagle Karate Training Center, teaching the yellow and green belts, three days a week for four hours a day, after school, so let me know what you need as far as money is concerned. I start next week," Tommy said.
"That's great! I've been hitting the pavement too looking for a job. I just got back from an interview at a clothing store," Kim said.
"Uh-Oh! Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" Tommy said, remembering Kim's shopping addiction.
"Very funny, Tommy. It's a good thing if I get a discount. And, it's at a children's clothing store," Kim said.
"That's perfect, for the kids, I mean. Well, I have to do my homework, talk to you later, Kim," Tommy said.
"Talk to you later, Tommy. Bye," Kim said as she hung up.
