Walter: Not often. But I watch television a lot.

　　Donald: Television! It only scratches the surface.

　　Walter: I don’t know what you mean by that. Television coverage is very dramatic.

　　Donald: Dramatic, yes. You learn what happened but never why it happened.

　　Walter: Rubbish. The television pictures show you what happened and then the people concerned are interviewed and they tell you why it happened.

　　Donald: They say what they saw, but they aren’t in a position to fill in the background.

　　Walter: Yes, they are. They were there.

　　Donald: That doesn’t mean they’re in a position to fill in the background. Anyway, the television pictures don’t show you the whole truth. They only show you the bits that happened while the cameraman was filming. Very often he missed the most important bits.

　　Mrs. Adams: Excuse me. I’m afraid it’s almost half past five and we must close. Could I just give you your bill?

　　Donald: Yes, of course. See to it, will you, Walter. I must get a newspaper before the newsagent closes.

　　Walter: ... er ... Don...

　　Donald: Yes?

　　Walter: Could you get me a paper, too?

　　Donald: What do you want a paper for?

　　Walter: To find out what’s on television.
